Performance

The Ford Explorer is an SUV that stands up to any challenge. Whether it is cruising down I-196 or exploring the Manistee National Forests, this Ford can handle almost anything. This is likely because of its Terrain Management System ™. This available system allows you to choose between 7 selectable modes for varied driving conditions.

If you’re looking for added power in your Explorer then you’ll be happy to know that there are a few engine options. One of them is the Enhanced 3.0-liter EcoBoost ® engine found in the Explorer ST. This engine grants the best-in-class V6 horsepower of about 400 and is complemented by 415 pound-feet of torque granting 0-60 in 5.5 seconds.

If you are interested in balancing power with fuel-efficiency then consider a 2.3-liter EcoBoost ® engine. It delivers 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. It even offers available 4WD to optimize your road grip and prevent wheel slippage. While others are stuck in deep snow or mud, you’ll be cruising to your destination with peace of mind!

Technology

Technology is designed to make our lives easier and more comfortable. These features range from the available SYNC ® 3 to the Hands-Free, Foot-Activated Power Liftgate. Although technology has advanced to do more, features can actively monitor the area around you and alert you to potential danger. Some of these features can even make corrective changes to your driving. These features are:

• Rain-Sensing Wipers
• Auto High-Beam Headlamps
• Lane Keeping System
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support
• And MORE!

The Blind Spot Information System comes in handy if you are nervous about changing lanes. It alerts you when folks are hiding in your blind spot so you don’t have to take your eyes off the road and twist your neck to check. With this features, city and highway driving just got a lot less stressful.
