The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating

6.5
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2020 Chevy Traverse is a three-row family mainstay with plentiful interior space. The 2020 Ford Explorer rediscovers its capable, outdoorsy side without becoming trucklike in any other respect. The 2020 Honda Pilot is a three-row family crossover at the top of its class.
