re: Chevy Traverse or Ford Explorer

I’d probably go with the new Traverse unless your company is letting you get the Explorer ST edition. Those things are pretty quick. Most Explorers are just the cheaper 4 banger models though.
I don’t like the Traverse styling that was out a year or two ago. But the new ones are very nice looking.

Have owned both.
Always liked the Traverse as a family vehicle, plenty of room, handled/drove well, think it was 2012 ish. Plenty of power. Front wheel drive. I think the one we had was V6 and got 22-25 mpg. Can't remember if it had 3rd row or not.
Have owned two Explorers. Most recent was 2019. They are heavier vehicles so get as much engine as possible. Only had a V6 in it and was sluggish, they used to offer a turbo charged version, highly recommend if available. I got an upgraded package on it and it drove like a sports car. Quiet, decent mileage around 20 mpg. Just traded it in July on new F150 and I do miss it a lot when hauling family/friends. Plenty of interior room for people and stuff (3rd row seat folds down). Got bucket seat option for 2nd row much better than bench type.
If I was buying either of the two on my own dime, I'd buy another Explorer. Didn't have any mechanical issues with either the Explorer or Traverse.
