Both vehicles have fairly comparable fuel economy, with the 2.7L 4-cylinder engine on the Toyota Highlander providing 22 mile per gallon, two more than the 20 mpg rating on the Ford Explorer's 3.5 V6 engine. If you're looking for a vehicle that provides even better fuel economy, the 2017 Toyota Highlander is also available as a hybrid. This new option offers up an estimated combined fuel economy of 29 mpg.

Safety is one of the most important features to look at when thinking about purchasing a new vehicle, especially since there have been so many advancements to the safety features that are available on new models. The 2017 Toyota Highlander comes with Toyota Safety Sense™ P standard on all trim levels. Toyota Safety Sense P includes features like automatic high beams, pre-collision system, pedestrian detection, dynamic radar cruise control, and lane departure alert with steering assist. While the 2017 Ford Explorer also has a version of most of these features, they are not standard on all trim levels. If you'd like to see how any of these features work, schedule a test drive of the 2017 Toyota Highlander at Royal South Toyota in Bloomington, IN.
