Performance
Engine Options
Feel powerful in the Ford Explorer, no matter which of the two notable engine options you go with. Yes, there are two, and they’re perfectly diverse, offering the right combination of perks to different drivers. First, we’ll start with the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine. Standard on the Base, XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, and Limited models, this peppy powertrain gets you 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. With an EPA-estimated rating of 21 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway, it will give you a solid fuel economy whether you stay within town or explore outside of it. Then, there’s the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine. Ready for power-hungry drivers, it bumps the horsepower up to 400 hp and the torque to 415 lb-ft. Plus, it gets you auto start-stop technology, which boosts fuel economy. This engine comes standard on the ST, King Ranch, and Platinum trims.
The Standard 10-Speed Automatic Transmission
No matter which engine you opt for, it will be paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Enjoy precise and smooth gear shifting and optimized efficiency and performance with this terrific transmission, whether you’re towing, accelerating, or cruising. Now, for those who like a more hands-on driving experience, you can get the available SelectShift Capability with Paddle Shifters. This lets you transform your automatic transmission into a manual one whenever you feel like it with paddle shifters.
Terrain Management System
Wherever your road trips or daily errands have you going, you’ll feel in command in the 2024 Explorer thanks to the Terrain Management System. This comes standard on 2WD models and Intelligent 4WD models, and it gets you seven selectable drive modes. Eco Mode is for times you want to boost fuel economy, while Normal Mode is ideal for daily driving in cities and towns. Trail Mode optimizes performance on bumpy, uneven terrain, and Deep Snow/Sand gets you the traction you need on powder days or in desert environments. When the roads get wet, you can switch to Slippery Mode, and those who desire a more performance-based driving experience can take advantage of Sport Mode. Lastly, when it’s time to carry or pull heavier cargo, you have the Tow/Haul Mode to help. Should you want to tow a camper, trailer, or boat behind your SUV, when properly equipped, the 2024 Explorer can tow up to 5,600 lbs.
Comfort/Convenience
Seating
Thanks to the available 10-way power driver seat, you have many options in adjusting the height of your seat, the angle of the seat back, and even the distance of the seat from the steering wheel. If you have long drives ahead, you can reduce bodily fatigue by getting your seat in that perfect position. Even your passenger in the front seat gets an available eight-way power seat. So they can also get settled for long trips.
Do you regularly alternate between transporting lots of people and lots of belongings? You’ll appreciate the available power-fold third-row seats. They easily and quickly fold out of the way to extend the cargo area when you need to transport large and bulky items. Additionally, the front area has a first-row center-floor console with an armrest and storage bin. This gives you plenty of places to keep those road trip essentials like tissues, snacks, and sunglasses.
Interior Features
Everyone will be comfortable with the climate thanks to the Tri-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control. This gives all three rows of passengers control over their climate so there doesn’t need to be any arguments over the controls. Plus, an available heated steering wheel will keep your hands toasty and flexible on cold days. The first-row heated and ventilated seats and the available second-row heated seats will also make you and your back-row passengers comfortable no matter what the weather has in store. On sunny days, your second-row passengers will appreciate their sun blinds, which will give them the shade they want.
If you’re visiting beautiful destinations and want more ways to take in the views, consider the available twin-panel moonroof. The 2024 Explorer is packed with features that help you enjoy all the places you visit even more. Set the mood with seven colors of available ambient lighting for the first and second rows.
Technology
The Available 10.1-inch Touchscreen
While performance and comfort are two important elements to consider when selecting an SUV, technology can often be the deciding factor. Ford knows this well, which is why they’ve equipped the Explorer with a host of cutting-edge tech. You will always have access to the information and entertainment you need and want on the road in this well-designed SUV. Let’s start with the massive available 10.1-inch touchscreen. It has a crisp and vibrant customizable display that lets you see everything you need to see, like turn-by-turn directions, current playlists, and so much more.
Ford+Alexa App
Getting answers to the questions you need on the go and handling errands is a breeze, thanks to the Ford+Alexa app. When you get this app on your iPhone or Android, you can do things like use your voice to ask for directions, get weather reports, and even add things to your Amazon shopping list. Plus you can control smart home devices from your vehicle. Want to turn on the porch lights or your smart thermostat before you get home? Easily do so from your Ford Explorer.
Available Wireless Charging and Bang & Olufsen Sound System
You can also charge your devices without messy cords, thanks to the available wireless charging system. Just place compatible devices on top of it and leave the cords at home for a tidy and spacious driver’s center. For people who love listening to music, audiobooks, podcasts and more on the road, you’ll appreciate the available Bang & Olufsen sound system. Available with either 12 or 14 speakers and a subwoofer, it will help you listen to the audio files you love and pipe the sounds clearly throughout the cabin so your rear-seat passengers can enjoy them as well.
Safety
In addition to the fun stuff, the 2024 Explorer is also loaded with great safety and driver-assist features. Active Park Assist can actually take over steering, braking, and accelerating for you in tough parking jobs. The Lane-Keeping System gently steers you back into your lane when you drift. Adaptive Cruise Control maintains your desired speed and distance from the vehicle in front of you. These are just some of the terrific features that help you be a safer driver. With these well-planned technology features, you’ll enjoy streamlined, productive, and entertaining drives.
