2020 GMC Acadia Denali vs 2020 Ford Explorer ST
3 Row SUV Comparison.
2020 GMC Acadia Denali or 2020 Ford Explorer ST? Which of these two is the best 3 row SUV to buy in 2020?
In this video I compared the latest 3 Row SUV from GMC and Ford to see how they stack up against each other. Initially I had decided to compare the Ford Explorer ST to the Acadia AT4 but then looking at them side by side I figured price wise they don’t compete. These two trims seem to be more closer in terms of price.
