Explorer Trim Levels
Explorer trim levels start with the base and include the XLT, Limited, ST, and Platinum models. The base begins with desirable features like a power liftgate, 4G LTT Wi-Fi hotspot, remote monitoring and control of the vehicle via a smartphone app, and tri-zone climate control. You’ll also get an 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, a feature that syncs with your smartphone to stream music and other media. Several safety features are included, such as BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) to warn you if vehicles are in your blind spot and a Lane-Keeping System to guide you back to your lane if you drift on the highway.
From there, the Explorer adds keyless entry and ignition, heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and second-row captain’s chairs. The midrange Limited model makes leather upholstery, ventilated seats, and premium technology features like a wireless charging pad and a Bang & Olufsen sound system standard, as well as additional advanced safety features. Other options throughout the upper-level trims include unique styling, sport seats, and massaging front seats.
Explorer Interior
The Explorer has space for seven with three rows of comfortable, supportive seats. The front seats have multi-way adjustability and heated seats as standard for the XLT and up. In the second row, you can choose between a three-person bench seat or plush captain’s chairs, which offer similar comfort but different passenger capacity. The seats also slide to create more space for either passengers or cargo.With all the seats up, the Explorer offers 18.2 cubic feet of space, but that turns into 47.9 cubic feet with the third row folded flat. With both rows folded down, the maximum cargo capacity is 87.9 cubic feet, which can haul a ton of camping or sports equipment, luggage, or small furniture.
Explorer Performance and Engine Options
The Explorer’s base engine is a 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 that produces 300 horsepower, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. You can get more power with the 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 that produces either 365 horsepower or 400 horsepower with the uprated variant.
There’s also a hybrid option, which combines a 3.3L V6 with an electric motor and hybrid batteries to produce 318 horsepower. The hybrid engine boasts an EPA-estimated 28 mpg combined.’ All models come standard with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is available. Properly equipped, the Explorer can tow between 5,000 pounds and 5,600 pounds.
