The Ford Explorer has long been known for its impressive performance on the road and the trail. The latest Explorer takes that reputation to new heights with enhanced engine options, advanced technology, and smart capability features. Whether looking for an athletically styled family hauler or a versatile SUV ready for weekend adventures, the new Ford Explorer delivers the power and poise you desire.
Potent Powertrains Engineered for Any Drive
At the heart of the Explorer's exhilarating performance are three compelling engine options. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine produces a robust 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, providing ample get-up-and-go for confident highway merging and passing.
For even more muscle, opt for the available 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6, which churns out an impressive 365 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. And for the ultimate in Explorer performance, the Explorer ST boasts a specially-tuned 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6, generating a whopping 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Around Martinsburg and beyond, the Explorer's advanced engines provide the power to tackle any drive with ease.
Harnessing the Explorer's ample horsepower is an intelligent 10-speed automatic transmission. With a wide gear ratio span and optimized gear spacing, this advanced gearbox keeps the engine in the ideal rev range for the job, whether smooth and efficient cruising on I-81 or brisk acceleration away from a stoplight.
The available Intelligent 4WD system with a Terrain Management System ensures the Explorer's power is put to the road or trail surface for maximum traction and control in any weather or terrain.
Ready for Family Road Trips and Weekend Adventures
The Explorer's muscular engines and advanced drivetrain provide thrilling acceleration and equip this SUV for all your recreational pursuits. When properly equipped, the new Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds, making light work of hauling a travel trailer for a camping trip or pulling a boat out to your favorite lake.
And with the Terrain Management System's seven selectable drive modes - including Trail, Deep Snow/Sand, and Tow/Haul - you can optimize the 4x4 Explorer's performance for tackling mud, snow, sand, and other low-traction surfaces on your way to off-grid adventures around the Hagerstown area.
An SUV as Engaging as It Is Capable
The Explorer's robust performance makes it ready for any activity, but its on-road driving dynamics and ride quality are equally impressive. A new rear-wheel-drive architecture enables sportier and more balanced handling and reduces road noise and vibration for a quieter, more refined ride on the highway.
The Explorer's stiff new structure, improved suspension tuning, and precise steering calibration further enhance control and stability in curves and corners, allowing you to take on winding back roads confidently. Whether you're running errands around town or embarking on a road trip, the Explorer delivers an SUV driving experience that's engaging, responsive, and fun.
