After decades of success, the Explorer continues to be one of the top choices for auto shoppers looking for a mid-sized SUV that can do it all. Read on to learn all about the 2024 Ford Explorer—now at your premier Ford dealer!
Power and Performance
Brisk acceleration and effortless cruising at highway speeds come thanks to the Explorer’s standard engine, which comes in the form of a turbocharged 2.3L inline-4 making 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. If you’re in need of some extra muscle, you’ll want to opt for the twin-turbocharged 3.0L V6 that boosts performance to a staggering 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque.
Either engine will be mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission that glides through the gears and promises smooth distribution of torque. Towing capacity is impressive, as well, at up to 5,600 pounds. Along with a four-wheel independent suspension, Ford’s Intelligent 4WD system is offered with every trim so that you can take the Explorer over rough terrain with confidence.
Passenger Cabin
In addition to delivering excellent performance, the Explorer serves as a practical family hauler with its expansive three-row interior that seats up to seven people. Headroom is close to 40 inches in every row, plus the first and second rows feature 43 and 39 inches of legroom, respectively. Available PowerFold third-row seats fold down flat with the simple push of a button if you need extra cargo space.
The base model Explorer comes well-equipped with comforts like tri-zone automatic climate control, an 8-way power driver’s seat, and particulate air filtering. Other trims offer plush ActiveX or genuine leather upholstery and customizable ambient lighting.
Infotainment System
The standard infotainment touchscreen is an 8-inch display running Sync 3 software. This system recognizes simple voice commands and lets users take advantage of smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a mobile 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot. Buyers will have the option of switching out the standard touchscreen for a larger 10.1-inch, portrait-style display with pinch-to-zoom capability.
Standard support for SiriusXM satellite radio and available HD Radio provide hours of listening enjoyment, which only gets better when you add a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system.
Safety
While the Explorer’s sturdy, well-designed construction has resulted in a five-star crash safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Ford has gone further by including plenty of standard driver assists. Of course, this includes a forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking, but you’ll also get standard blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts and lane-keeping assistance.
