Looking for a vehicle that balances fitting the whole family with high-quality power, comfort, and technology? You’ve found it. Check out the 2024 Ford Explorer.

1. Powerful Engines

Standard on Base, XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, and Limited models, the 2.3 liter EcoBoost 1-4 engine provides up to 300 horsepower. Upgrade to the ST, King Ranch, or Platinum model to experience the 3.0 liter Ecoboost V6 engine, with turbocharging that can reach up to 400 horsepower.

Whichever model you choose, all Explorer models come with a standard 10-speed automatic transmission that allows for smooth gearshifts and side-wind stabilization that keeps you in line even in powerful gusts.

2. Impressive Interior

Seat up to seven with three rows of seats. Travel in comfort with upgrades to leather seats and seat-heating and cooling systems. An ambient lighting system with seven available color options lets you tailor the mood in the cabin to whatever you’re looking for.

Looking to bring a little more of the outside world in? Upgrade to a twin-panel moonroof that lets in the light during the day and provides a stunning view of the stars at night.

3. Multiple Drive Modes

Customize each drive with the Terrain Management System, offering a suite of available drive modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Tow/Haul, Slippery, and Trail. Using the various drive modes, your Explorer will optimize stability and traction for any conditions. On models equipped with upgraded intelligent 4WD, use the Deep Snow/Sand to get through whatever the weather throws at you.

4. Integrated Technology

Keep your hands off your devices and your eyes on the road with Ford’s SYNC system. Compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: the easy-to-use vocal commands and touchscreen make skipping a song or adjusting the settings easier than ever.

With a B&O Sound system, your tunes have never sounded better. Enhance your Explorer’s tech with available upgrades including a 10.1-inch LCD touchscreen and wireless charging.

5. Enhanced Safety

When you’re in an Explorer, know that you’ve chosen a vehicle designed to keep you and your passengers safe. The Ford Safety Canopy airbags system will cushion the cabin in case of an emergency, and seat-belt minder alerts will give you peace of mind that all of your passengers are bucked in.

With the added Ford CoPilot 360 suite of driver-assist technology, features such as post-collision braking, blind spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, and rear-parking assist will make you confident that when you’re driving an Explorer, you’re in good hands.
