Powerful Performance2021-Ford-Explorer-

With two powerful engines to choose from and impressive performance dynamics, the 2021 Explorer works and plays as hard as you do. A 300-horsepower, 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine comes standard and can produce 310 pound-feet of torque. If you opt for the Explorer Platinum or the Explorer ST, you can take advantage of a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 that can put out 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. When the Explorer is equipped with the V-6, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds, meaning you’ll never have to leave your favorite travel gear behind.

Both engines team up with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission that seamlessly shifts between gears for smooth acceleration and sharp handling. Four-wheel independent suspension gives you more control and stability, reducing impact even when your adventures take you off-road. It also enables the Explorer to hug the road more tightly, making you feel like you’re in a sports car.

Interior Amenities

The 2021 Explorer’s versatile interior gives you plenty of room for family, friends, and fun. All of your passengers have plenty of headroom and legroom, thanks to three rows of seating. If you opt for available second-row captain’s chairs, your Explorer can seat six. The bench-style second-row seat enables the Explorer to accommodate seven. Both seating configurations feature premium seating surfaces that can resist wear and tear, withstanding all of your adventures. Features like automatic climate control and lumbar support will keep you comfortable on even the longest of trips.

Connectivity

With the 2021 Explorer, you have all of the technology you need to stay connected and entertained. Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system lets you integrate your smartphone so you can make hands-free calls and access your favorite music, podcasts, and audiobooks. The Ford+Alexa app lets you control your smart home devices from the road, meaning you’ll never again have to wonder if you left the lights on.

The Waze app gives you real-time traffic updates and helps you decide what route to take to avoid traffic jams and other road trip obstacles. Your passengers will appreciate the Explorer’s wireless charging and multiple power outlets.

Intelligent Safety Features

The 2021 Explorer gives you an array of intelligent safety features so you can always travel with confidence. Intelligent adaptive cruise control lets you enjoy the ride while it takes care of managing your preferred cruising speed, adjusting it according to changes in traffic. If your Explorer starts to drift, the lane-keeping feature will provide you with steering assistance. Pre-collision assist gives you extra braking support in emergencies. Other safety features include a blind-spot information system, a rearview camera, and auto high-beam headlights.

These are just some of the 2021 Ford Explorer’s road trip-friendly features. Take a test drive today and see why the Explorer should be your next SUV.
