Sporty to luxurious, and always ready to play, Explorer has it all. With its rock solid powertrains and available Control Trac® four-wheel-drive system, you can go from everyday driving to serious off-road venturing at the touch of a button. And with features like a sporty shifter and power-adjustable, heated side-view mirrors you won’t miss a beat, on or off the beaten path. Nor will you want to.
Explorer is available in five-, six-, or seven-passenger seating configurations. For seven-passenger seating, you’ll need the second-row 60/40 split-fold seat and the available PowerFold® third-row seat. For six-passenger seating, combine available quad bucket seating and the available PowerFold third-row seat. For five-passenger seating, Explorer features first-row bucket seats and the second-row 60/40 split seat.
A rear cargo cover is optional on Explorer five-passenger models to help you keep appearances tidy while storing items away from prying eyes. With the second-row seat folded flat, this Explorer can handle up to 2,398 litres (84.7 cu. ft.) of cargo.
Power to step up. Available* power-deployable running boards automatically extend for use when you open a door, and tuck neatly away when it’s closed. So you can get a boost when it’s needed and still maintain plenty of ground clearance.
Smooth moves. You can count on the extreme flexibility of Explorer’s four-wheel independent suspension to help it hug the road. Monotube shocks and a second-generation independent rear suspension (IRS) also help it tackle rough terrain and uneven road surfaces in a remarkably civilized manner.
System. This system features larger air bags that provide enhanced head protection for first-, second-, and third-row passengers in certain side-impact collisions. It also features roll-fold technology that enables the air bag to slip between the window and a passenger’s head.
Seat belts – that think. Adaptive load-limiting retractors are capable of providing multiple levels of restraining force to help tailor the safety belt response to the specific needs of each occupant. Combined with the front passenger sensing system, which identifies the size of occupants, this restraint system provides an extra measure of protection that we hope you'll never need.*
