ADVENTURE bound.

With innovative options like our exclusive new Ford SYNC voice-activated, hands-free customizable media system, a spirited 292-hp 4.6L V8 engine and 5-, 6- or 7-passenger seating, Explorer is designed to fit your active life. It’s also designed with your safety in mind, having achieved 5-Star ratings in the government’s frontal and side-impact crash tests for the 2nd year1 in a row.

Make the most of its ATHLETICISM.
It takes just the right mix of energy and ability to run at the front of the pack. And that’s where you’ll find Explorer. The standard 4.0L SOHC V6 engine pumps out 210 hp and 254 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s more torque than Jeep® Grand Cherokee’s V6. Matched with a 5-speed automatic transmission, Explorer’s V6 also meets strict Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle II (ULEV II) standards. Need more oomph? Opt for the 4.6L 3-valve V8 engine and first-in-class2 6-speed automatic transmission to get a full 292 hp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. Thoughtful details like the sound-dampening carpet and headliner materials, the roof structure, overall powertrain operation, and even the contour of its large sideview mirrors all help Explorer deliver its impressively quiet, comfortable ride, while a fully boxed frame and 4-wheel independent suspension help it hug the road. With the optional Control Trac® 4-wheel-drive system, Explorer 4x4 is off-road ready at the touch of a button.
