We’ll be honest: The Ford Edge is going to cost you a little more than the Chevy Equinox, which is not surprising considering the Edge is six inches longer, three inches wider, and three inches taller. In fact, the Edge and Equinox are in two separate classes. While the Ford crossover is a midsize SUV, the Chevy is a compact. Why compare these two disparate models? Sometimes it’s helpful to see the difference between driving a compact and living large.
