The 3.5L 6-cylinder engine delivers dependable performance paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and All Wheel Drive, achieving 16 city and 22 highway MPG. The SYNC 3 system puts entertainment, navigation, and vehicle control at your fingertips through an intuitive 8 touchscreen with swipe and pinch-to-zoom capabilities, supporting both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration.

Comfort and convenience are evident throughout the cabin. Dual-zone automatic temperature control allows driver and front passenger to set individual preferences independently. The heated steering wheel and heated leather bucket seats provide warmth during cold weather, while the power-adjustable front seats accommodate various body types. Second-row bucket seating enhances passenger comfort, and the split-folding third row adds flexibility for cargo or additional passengers.

Safety and visibility are prioritized with forward sensing technology, rear parking sensors, and an exterior backup camera. The auto-dimming rearview mirror reduces glare, while LED fog lamps improve visibility in challenging conditions. Dual front impact and side impact airbags, knee airbags, and rollover airbags provide comprehensive occupant protection.

Practical features enhance daily usability. The power liftgate opens and closes at the touch of a button, making loading and unloading simple. The rear bumper step pad facilitates easier access to roof-mounted cargo. Power and heated mirror glass sideviews with integrated blind spot mirrors expand your field of vision, while the Class III Trailer Tow Package equips the vehicle for hauling capabilities.

SYNC Connect technology enables remote vehicle management, allowing you to start, lock, unlock, and locate your Explorer from your smartphone. This service is included for five years from the sale date. An engine block heater enhances cold-weather starting, ensuring reliable operation in harsh conditions.
