The new model year brings upgraded full-sized SUVs from industry leaders like Ford and Jeep. Let's check out the features and specs of the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee vs. the 2020 Ford Explorer to see which of these two stacks up as the better option.

Engine Lineup and Towing Capacity

Choice matters, and the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee offers more engine choices than the Explorer, with four engine options compared with three for the Explorer.

Technology and Safety

Technology is expected in modern vehicles. Both the Grand Cherokee and Explorer have solid technology suites, but Jeep comes out just a bit ahead. Both vehicles feature a rearview camera and blind-spot monitoring, but the Grand Cherokee also offers trailer sway control, a feature that the Ford can't match. Add to that the Grand Cherokee's standard smartphone integration, and you've got an outstanding overall SUV.

Cargo Space

When driving an SUV, you're going to want as much hauling space as possible. Again, the Grand Cherokee wins out with a full 36.3 cubic feet of space behind the back seats, while the Explorer boasts only 18.2 cubic feet of storage space behind its back seats.
