PERFORMANCE
Ford Explorer

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?

Spine-Tingling Strength

If you’re looking for an SUV with the same get-up-and-go attitude, the Explorer has it. Its two high-velocity engines will power your adventures with no problem:

  • 2.3L EcoBoost® turbocharged engine: 00 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque
  • 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine: 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque

A 10-speed automatic transmission is paired to either engine. 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 up to 5,600 pounds when properly equipped! Which item will you hitch up first?

  • A small, hard-sided RV
  • A small recreational boat
  • A couple jets skis
  • A pop-up camping tailer
  • A utility trailer with a few snowmobiles

Go on, adventure wildly. The sky is the limit.

Precision and Prowess

The Explorer comes with rear-wheel drive, handy when towing cargo to the next campground on your list. However, daring adventurers can opt for 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 standard Terrain Management System™, you’ll gain up to seven drive modes that can help you go anywhere your heart leads:

  • Normal
  • Trail
  • Slippery
  • Sport
  • Tow/Haul
  • Eco

Deep Snow/Sand is the seventh mode of the bunch, and you’ll need an Explorer with 4-wheel drive to gain its prowess.

TECHNOLOGY
Ford Explorer

If business is your calling, the 2024 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).

Your Mobile 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® 3 infotainment suite comes with straightforward technology and integrations to simplify taking work on the road.

An 8-inch touchscreen comes standard; however, you can opt for an available portrait-style 10.1-inch display. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ are standard, so pairing your phone is simple. Checking in on a project or co-worker is as easy as commanding the suite with enhanced voice recognition. The available 14-speaker B&O® Sound System by Bang and Olufsen® will make every conference call participant sound crisp and clear.

When 5 p.m. rolls around, you can elevate your evening commute with SiriusXM® or take care of some last-minute Amazon Prime shopping with the Ford+Alexa app!

Protect Your Peace

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 riled-up drivers. The Explorer comes with the Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety suite, so this part of your day is calm and carefree. Check out this suite’s standard features:

  • Auto High-Beam Headlamps
  • BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
  • Pre-Collision Assist® with Automatic Emergency Braking
  • Lane-Keeping System
  • Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Speed Sign Recognition, and Lane Centering

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 to playdates, introducing them to their new siblings, and watching them sprout into amazing adults? The Ford Explorer is perfect for your dream family.

Hearth and Home

The Ford Explorer will be your home away from home. It has seating for up to seven family members who can share up to 152.7 cubic feet of space. No more stepping on toes or bumping elbows! A range of comfort awaits with these upholstery choices:

  • Cloth
  • ActiveX™
  • Leather

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 standard and available amenities:

  • Tri-zone automatic temperature control
  • Twin-panel moonroof
  • 10-way power driver seat
  • 8-way power passenger seat
  • Heated and ventilated front seats

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!

Got Gear?

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:

  • 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first row
  • 47.9 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row
  • 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row

Packing will be easy, too! A power liftgate comes standard, so when your arms are full of supplies, all it takes is the push of a button to open or close the trunk. The available PowerFold® third-row seat also lowers onto the floor at the push of a button.

Got longer gear? Take advantage of the available roof rails, which can carry kayaks, canoes, cargo boxes, you name it. Install the right Yakima® accessory for your item, and you’re ready!
