Ford Muscle
How much muscle does it take to move you? Whatever the number, the Explorer's got it; the entry-level 2.3-liter EcoBoost I4 offers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque for plenty of oomph, while the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 offers a stunning 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque for an energetic and deliciously fun experience when the pedal goes down.
As for towing capability, the Explorer's got plenty. With the available Class IV Trailer Tow Package installed, the Explorer has a top towing capacity of 5,300 pounds for 2.3-liter models and 5,600 pounds for 3.0-liter trims, which makes bringing along a trailer, boat, camper, or even another vehicle a snap.
Family-Ready
The 2024 Explorer may just be the perfect family car. The Explorer comfortably seats up to 7, and with 43 inches of legroom up front and 39 inches of legroom in the second row, even taller teens or extra adults will be comfortable riding in style.
Moreover, the Explorer is one of the safest cars on the road. With 5-star NHTSA crash test ratings and a prestigious Top Safety Pick designation from the IIHS, Explorer families are well-protected should the worst occur. And with Ford's Co-Pilot360 technology on board for essential collision mitigation features, drivers and kiddos alike can rest easy.
Tech Makes it Easy
With a 10.1-inch center-mounted display, the Explorer's infotainment system is powerful and easy to use. SYNC 3 technology offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, along with Bluetooth, for easy entertainment. A six-speaker sound system is plenty powerful, though audiophiles may drool at the Bang & Olufsen 980-Watt, 14-speaker, subwoofer-powered premium audio offering available on the Explorer.
Activate the available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and not only will every passenger be able to keep connected and entertained, but Amazon's Alexa can come along for the ride, too. Activating Alexa's Ford+ Skill allows you to use voice commands to update shopping lists or even control your home Alexa system from the car.
With plenty of power, top-trim technology on offer, and a family-ready ride, the 2024 Explorer offers much to those who are willing to go exploring.
