Performance

The standard engine in a Ford Explorer is a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This combination provides drivers with up to 300 horsepower for cruising around Dutton. This engine is the only one available in the Base, XLT, and Limited trims. However, the King Ranch, Platinum, and sporty ST trims will have the option to upgrade to the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. This setup also features a 10-speed automatic transmission, and it offers drivers up to 400 horsepower.

A hybrid powertrain is also available in the Limited and Platinum trims. This powertrain includes a 3.3-liter V6 engine paired with an electric motor. This combination will provide up to 318 horsepower for your trips around Hollywood.

When the Explorer has the right equipment, the Ford SUV can tow up to 5,600 pounds around Fackler. Drivers will need to add the towing package to take advantage of this capability and schedule routine Ford service and repairs to maintain the performance. You can also configure the Ford Explorer as a rear-wheel or an all-wheel drive SUV.

Design

Functional and comfortable are the perfect terms to describe the interior of the Ford Explorer. Those wishing for more amenities may choose the King Ranch or the Platinum trims for the ultimate in luxury.

The Ford Explorer is attractive in all trim levels, but those wishing to make the SUV a bit more adventuresome may wish to opt for the ST-Line trim. It will upgrade the engine in the Explorer, and the exterior offers black badging and black accents. By contrast, the Platinum offers chrome accents.

In the King Ranch or Platinum trim, drivers may opt for captain's chairs for the second row or a bench seat. Passengers may use a power button to move that second row for individuals to enter the third row.

Technology

All Ford Explorer SUVs will come equipped with a Ford SYNC 3 infotainment system and a touchscreen to access the software. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard features, in addition to a Wi-Fi hotspot. Higher trim levels will also offer in-dash navigation and the ability to upgrade one's stereo system. A 12-speaker B&O audio system is standard in all trims except for the base trim.

The largest touchscreen monitors are just over 10 inches in diameter, but this size is standard on higher trims only. The basic touchscreen is eight inches in diameter.

This suite offers blind spot monitoring, a rear camera, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, forward-collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.
