2020 Ford Explorer vs Chevrolet Traverse Seating/Storage/Cargo

If you must transport a family of 8, the Chevrolet Traverse will win your vote. However, for families of 6-7 the decision may come down to other factors. Both models offer above class average cargo space, and while the Traverse offers slightly more cubic feet, the Explorer maximizes space efficiency with its optional cargo management system and comes standard with a power liftgate for easy loading. You'll also want to consider the comfort of your passengers.
