Pairing three-row transport with rugged looks and a fiery engine, the 2024 Ford Explorer is a mid-size SUV designed to take families to new heights. From excellent on-road handling to reliability down the trails, let’s see why drivers love this model.
Numerous Trim Levels
The new Ford Explorer lineup comprises eight trim levels that make it one of the most versatile SUVs. The base trim is perfect for shuttling the family across the city or going on road trips. Higher trims pack serious off-road capabilities and are ideal for anything from exploring the great outdoors to hauling equipment around the ranch.
Outstanding Performance
Ford equips the Explorer, XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, and Limited models with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost Inline-4 engine that outputs 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough power to tow up to 5,300 lbs when the vehicle is equipped with Ford’s Class IV Trailer Tow package. Those who need more power or torque can find it in the ST, King Ranch, and Platinum trims.
These models come with a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine for 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. With the trailer tow package, they have a towing capacity of 5,600 lbs.
Drivetrain Options
All 2024 Explorer models except for the Timberline come with standard rear-wheel drivetrains, which can be upgraded to intelligent four-wheel drive. This system features seven selectable drive modes that pair with hill descent control to enhance your vehicle’s balance and traction on challenging terrains and road conditions.
Ford offers the four-wheel drivetrain standard on the Timberland trim. Designed for the off-road, this model also comes with the Class IV Trailer Tow and Cargo Area Management packages.
Interior Flexibility
One of the main reasons drivers love the 2024 Explorer is its interior flexibility. This seven-seater was designed with large families in mind, and it offers plenty of space and comfort for all passengers. A mechanism moves the second row out of the way at the touch of a button, providing easy access in and out of the car for the third-row passengers.
Split-folding bench seats provide easy interior customization for both passengers and cargo. The second row features a 35/30/35 split, and it folds flat. The third row has a 50/50 split and folds manually in the base model. An available power-fold third row adds convenience.
Modern Technology
The 2024 Explorer is spacious, powerful, and packed with modern technologies. Standard features on all trims include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and a B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen. Ford PassConnect also comes standard to keep you connected on the go. A 10.1-inch capacitive touchscreen is optional in the base trim and standard in the higher models.
Driver assistance and safety features are also abundant. For instance, blind spot monitoring, lane-keep assistance, lane-departure warning, and automated emergency braking come standard on all models.
