Power and Everyday Capability
The 2.3L EcoBoost turbocharged engine gives this Explorer plenty of power for a three row SUV while remaining practical for everyday driving. Paired with Ford's 10 speed automatic transmission, it delivers responsive acceleration, smooth highway performance, and useful low speed power when carrying passengers or pulling a trailer.
The Four Wheel Drive system adds confidence when Michigan weather turns wet, snowy, or slippery. It also gives the Explorer added versatility for gravel roads, campgrounds, boat launches, and other places where extra traction can make a difference.
Class IV Trailer Tow Package
The Class IV Trailer Tow Package turns this Explorer into more than just a passenger SUV by adding factory equipment designed specifically for towing.
With the 2.3L EcoBoost engine, 10 speed automatic transmission, Four Wheel Drive, and Class IV Trailer Tow Package, this Explorer is rated to tow 5,300 pounds when properly equipped.
That gives buyers useful capacity for many appropriately sized campers, boats, utility trailers, and recreational trailers while retaining the passenger space and everyday comfort of a three row SUV.
Interior and Comfort
The Sandstone Cloth interior gives the cabin a lighter, welcoming appearance while providing the passenger space families expect from an Explorer. Three rows give you flexibility for passengers, kids, friends, or additional cargo depending on the day.
Tri zone electronic automatic temperature control allows different areas of the cabin to maintain comfortable temperatures, an especially useful feature when you're traveling with passengers in multiple rows.
The rear seating can also be folded when additional cargo room is needed, allowing the Explorer to transition from passenger duty to carrying luggage, groceries, sports equipment, or larger everyday items.
Technology and Convenience
Ford's SYNC 3 system with an 8 inch touchscreen provides straightforward access to entertainment, phone functions, and vehicle information.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow compatible smartphones to connect for maps, music, calls, messages, podcasts, and supported apps. Bluetooth connectivity, USB connections, steering wheel controls, and a Rear View Camera add useful convenience for everyday driving.
Safety and Driver Confidence
The Explorer includes Ford Co Pilot360, giving drivers several technologies designed to improve awareness of surrounding traffic.
Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert helps watch areas that can be difficult to see when changing lanes or backing out of a parking space. Pre Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking can warn of a potential frontal collision and provide braking assistance when necessary.
The Lane Keeping System can also alert the driver when the vehicle begins drifting from its lane unintentionally.
Exterior and Utility
The Agate Black Metallic exterior gives this Explorer a clean, sharp appearance that works especially well with its modern body design. The 18 inch 5 spoke painted aluminum wheels provide a finished look while maintaining a practical wheel and tire setup for everyday SUV use.
The Explorer's rear cargo area provides useful room behind the seating, while folding rear seats allow considerably more space when passengers are not using all three rows.
Why This Ford Explorer
This 2023 Ford Explorer 4WD makes sense for someone who needs one vehicle to handle several jobs. The 2.3L EcoBoost engine, Four Wheel Drive, 5,300 pound tow rating, three row seating, smartphone connectivity, and Ford Co Pilot360 technology give it the versatility to work as a family SUV during the week and a capable tow vehicle when the weekend arrives.
