Engines and Performance

Two turbocharged EcoBoost engines are offered for the 2024 Explorer: a 2.3-liter I-4 and a 3.0-liter V6. The I-4 produces 300 horsepower alongside 310 pound-feet of torque and comes with the Base, XLT, Limited, ST-Line, Timberline, and Limited models. ST, King Ranch, and Platinum models come with the V6, which generates 400 horses and 415 pound-feet of torque.

On and Off-Road Versatility

While rear-wheel drive comes standard with most models, an Intelligent 4WD system that automatically adapts to terrain changes is available and comes standard with Explorer Timberline models. Both rear- and four-wheel-drive equipped Explorers come with Ford’s Terrain Management system, which offers up to seven different performance modes to toggle between as needed.

First-Class Interior Comforts

With three rows of seating, this SUV’s cabin is impressively spacious, and a second-row 35/30/35 split-fold-flat bench seat and third-row 50/50 split-fold bench seat both come standard. Unique cloth, easy-to-clean ActiveX material, and leather with tri-diamond perforated inserts are some of the available seating fabrics, depending on the trim level, and select upper trims come with heated and ventilated front seats, as well as heated rear seats. 

Designed for Fun Adventures

Standard design features include a power liftgate with a stylish chrome appliqué, second and third-row liftgate privacy glass, and a body-color rear spoiler, while a twin-panel moonroof is available. Other available highlights include power-folding sideview mirrors with heated glass, rain-sensing wipers, LED fog lamps. You’ll also be more than ready for adventures with the roof rack side rails, front and rear underbody skid plates, and front tow hooks.

Tech Features for Everyone

Along with SYNC 3, an all-in-one infotainment system that combines multiple entertainment options and wireless smartphone compatibility with available navigation assistance, this edition comes with 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, multiple USB ports, FordPass Connect, and a full-color productivity screen in the instrument cluster. 

Intelligent Driver Assistance

Also included with this SUV is Ford Co-Pilot360, which is a suite of hi-tech driver-assist systems that includes the Lane Keeping System, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, Pre-Collision Assist, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), Rear Parking Sensors, the Rear View Camera, and Adaptive Cruise Control as standard offerings on the base model. Many other models offer available front parking sensors, a 360-degree camera system, and an automated parking system that can tackle both parallel and perpendicular maneuvers called Active Park Assist 2.0.
