Vehicle Detail

You can shift gears for yourself with the sportinspired paddle shifters on the standard 6-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission. Or leave it to Explorer.
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with cross-traffic alert¹ is designed to scan for vehicles approaching from either side.
Get going with your choice of 3 engines: the standard 3.5L Ti-VCT V6, the powerful and efficient new 2.3L EcoBoost®1 or the spirited 365-hp 3.5L EcoBoost, which is standard on Sport.
Substantially more powerful than the engine it replaces, the new turbocharged, direct-injection 2.3L EcoBoost gives Explorer 280 hp and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. Just the get-up-and-go you need.
Capably outgoing. Technologically advanced. Beautifully refined. The new 2016 Explorer is outfitted to elevate your getaways. It’s more aerodynamic, more luxurious and even easier to park than its predecessor. Go further. In Ford Explorer.
