Are you ready to give buck-wild adventures a go? The Ford Explorer is ready to let loose. Thanks to its roaring engines, precision control, and all-terrain capabilities, this SUV will be prepared to embark on camping trips, off-road expeditions, or excursions beyond your typical routes. Where will you go first?
If you're looking for an SUV with the same get-up-and-go attitude, the Explorer has it. Its high-velocity engines will power your adventures with no problem, such as:
A 10-speed automatic transmission is paired to most engines. It will garner smoother, more efficient gear shifts while providing a wide power band for performance and towing needs. Speaking of towing, the Explorer can tow ~2,540 kilograms (5,600 pounds) when properly equipped! Which item will you hitch up first?
Go on, adventure wildly. The sky is the limit.
Depending on the model you choose, the Explorer may come with rear-wheel drive, handy when towing cargo to the next campground on your list, or Intelligent 4-Wheel Drive. This drivetrain will provide grip and traction, even on loose surfaces. Rocky trails, meet your maker!
Trails are just one place you'll frequent in the Ford Explorer. With the available Terrain Management System™, you could benefit from a range of drive modes, depending on the model you choose, that can help you go anywhere your heart leads:
This way, you can shift on the fly based on conditions or your mood at the time.
If business is your calling, the Ford Explorer is ready to get down to it. Beyond its adventurous side, the Explorer can break out its professionalism and help you slay in the executive seat. Whether you own a business or are starting a side hustle, the tech in this SUV will keep you in the loop even when you're OOO (out of office).
Are you meeting with new clients around town today? Do you need to take a conference call during your commute? The Ford Explorer's SYNC® infotainment suite, when equipped, comes with straightforward technology and integrations to simplify taking work on the road.
You'll access your apps, maps, music, and more through an advanced touchscreen that typically ranges from an 8-inch display to 10.1 inches. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ make pairing your phone simple. Checking in on a project or co-worker is as easy as commanding the suite with the voice activating system, when equipped. Available premium audio systems will make every conference call participant sound crisp and clear.
Your commutes to and from work mean you encounter rush-hour traffic, which comes with all types of concerns, like backups on the highway and impatient drivers. The Explorer's available Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety suite helps ensure this part of your day is calm and carefree. Check out this suite's frequently offered features:
Additional safety technologies, such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Lane Centring, are available depending on the version of Ford Co-Pilot360™ your Explorer equips. Driver-assistance features that mitigate accidents to help keep you out of danger's clutch, improve your vision, and boost your attentiveness? Say no more.
Have you always wanted to be a parent? Do you imagine mini versions of yourself running around your future home? Do you look forward to taking them on playdates, introducing them to their new siblings, and watching them sprout into amazing adults? The Ford Explorer is perfect for your dream family.
The Ford Explorer will be your home away from home. It can seat up to six or seven family members across three rows who can share around 4,324 litres (152.7 cubic feet) of space. No more stepping on toes or bumping elbows!
You may have several spots in your home that give you warm and fuzzy feelings, like a sunroom, a reading nook, or your renovated kitchen. The Explorer emulates those feelings with the following amenities that vary based on the trim level you choose:
After you've dropped off the kids for the day, you can kick back and enjoy these creature comforts to yourself. It will be like a spa on wheels!
Are you ready to make some family memories? So is the Ford Explorer. This spacious vessel has enough room for all the necessary gear--even with every seat occupied! Take a closer look:
Packing will be easy, too, with an available power liftgate; so, when your arms are full of supplies, all it takes is the push of a button to open or close the trunk. Got longer gear? Take advantage of the available roof rails, which can carry kayaks, canoes, cargo boxes, you name it. Install the right accessory for your item, and your Explorer will be ready to go whenever you are!
