Middleton Ford compares the 2017 Edge against the 2017 Chevrolet Equinox

MIDDLETON, Wis., Dec. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- It is the classic comparison that has started arguments in garages for decades: Ford or Chevy? These two titans of the auto industry have amassed faithful followers over the years, but today's drivers may not be as loyal to one brand or the other with so many advancements in the industry overall. For that reason, prospective buyers may want to be presented with cold, hard facts about each brand's new lineup. Middleton Ford aims to help with a new online tool pitting the 2017 Ford Edge against the 2017 Chevrolet Equinox.

Sport utility vehicles are all the rage these days, particularly the crossover models that have arisen in recent years. These models tend to offer drivers a happy medium, incorporating characteristics of both full-size SUVs and sedans. Drivers can experience a potent ride with plenty of cargo space while still saving money over the long run with fuel-sipping efficiency. Power does not need to be sacrificed for such a ride, and the 2017 Ford Edge packs 245 horsepower under the hood, while the 2017 Chevy Equinox falls short of that with a 182-horsepower engine.

Cargo capacity is also a draw for these vehicles, and when the rear seats are folded down the 2017 Edge opens up to 73.4 cubic feet of room, while the 2017 Equinox opens up to just 63.7 cubic feet. Both models have available seating for five people.

For more information about the 2017 Ford Edge or any other model, shoppers are encouraged to visit www.middletonford.com, or call 608-831-7725.
