Performance Automotive Group

Ford Explorer has received the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's five-star crash test ratings for five years running.* Our exclusive Intelligent Safety System instantly determines the severity of an impact and responds precisely. And our Safety Canopy® System provides comprehensive air-bag coverage, including outboard-seated passengers in the first and second rows. What's more, the standard SOS Post Crash Alert System** is automatically activated. Best of all, AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control helps ensure that you won't need these features.

You don't always need the same interior. That's why we designed the Explorer to give you the choice of 2-row/5-passenger, 3-row/7-passenger and 3-row/6-passenger versions. And cargo space Explorer provides plenty of that - up to 45.1 cu. ft. behind the second-row seats and up to 85.8 cu. ft. behind the first-row seats (with all rear seat backs lowered). And should you require even more flexible cargo-carrying capability, Explorer comes with standard roof side rails and crossbars.

Explorer has a lot of high-tech intelligence to make your life on the road a whole lot easier. Take, for example, our available SYNC® communications and entertainment system. With simple voice commands, you can make phone calls; choose music and more without taking your eyes off the road. Another great system is the available voice-activated Navigation System with integrated SIRIUS Travel Link that provides real-time weather, traffic, fuel prices - even movie times.*** Yes, there's much more to Ford Explorer than outstanding performance and flexibility.

Its standard 4.0L V6 pumps out 210 horsepower. Opt for the 4.6L V8 with its first-in-class**** six-speed automatic transmission and move up to 292 horsepower and 315 lb.-ft. of torque. That's enough to tow up to 7,115 pounds when properly equipped with the available Class III/IV Trailer Tow Package. Standard electronic trailer sway control helps keep the trailer directly behind you where it belongs.

*Star ratings are part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's Safercar.gov program (www.safercar.gov). **SOS hardware may become damaged or the battery may lose power in a crash, which could prevent operation. Not all crashes will activate an airbag or safety belt pretensioner. ***Real-time traffic monitoring available in select markets.  ****Class is Midsize SUVs.Remember that even advanced technology cannot overcome the laws of physics. It's always possible to lose control of a vehicle due to inappropriate driver input for the conditions.
