The 2022 Toyota Highlander and the 2022 Ford Explorer are rivals as popular midsize SUVs, but the Toyota Highlander comes out on top. Offering better available mpg than the Ford Explorer, the Toyota Highlander can go farther while using less fuel. Both vehicles have a hybrid option available, but, if you prefer a front-wheel drive vehicle over a rear-wheel drive, then the Toyota Highlander is the best option for you. Safety is also a priority with both models offering a standard Lane Departure Warning system, which alerts you when you start drifting out of your lane, but only the Highlander offers an available auto-dimming rearview mirror. Sensors in the mirror detect bright headlights and dim the mirror, protecting you during those night drives home.
