  • Ford Escape – MSRP from $23,850
  • Ford Explorer – MSRP from $31,990

For smaller families looking to save some money, the new Ford Escape is a more than capable small crossover, but larger families with a bit more leniency in their budget and more of a need for space and power may want to go with the new Ford Explorer.
