2022 Ford Explorer

The 2022 Ford Explorer comes in eight trim levels: the base, XLT, Limited, ST-Line, Timberline, ST, King Ranch, and Platinum. You can also get the Limited trim as a hybrid model. While all of these trim levels appear similar, they each have their own exterior differences that make them unique. Some exterior features on the Ford Explorer include LED headlights and a power liftgate on the base level, roof rails on the XLT, a black grille on the ST-Line, and 21-inch wheels on the top-tier Platinum trim level.

Under the hood of the Ford Explorer, you can find a strong engine that provides powerful and quick acceleration. Most trim levels come with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. You can also find a turbocharged 3-liter V-6 on higher trim levels that produces 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the Limited Hybrid trim has a hybrid V-6 powertrain that generates a combined 318 horsepower. All of these engines provide you with greater fuel efficiency and a sport-like performance.

Every Ford Explorer comes with a rear-wheel-drive system. This system provides greater handling and towing capabilities. You can also customize your Explorer by opting for an all-wheel-drive system. While all-wheel drive provides greater traction, rear-wheel drive makes it easier to maintain power and control through turns without losing traction.

The 2022 Explorer comes with many new updates for you to enjoy. With three rows of seating and plenty of cargo space, make this SUV the choice for your next family adventure.

When it comes to technology, the Explorer doesn't disappoint. Every Ford Explorer features the Sync 3 infotainment system and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities. The latter two features let you connect your smartphone to your vehicle so you can listen to music, use your phone's navigation system, and answer calls seamlessly. Other tech amenities include a six-speaker sound system and 8-inch touch screen starting with the base level, second-row USB ports starting with the XLT, a 12-speaker audio system starting with the ST-Line, and a 10.1-inch touch screen and 14-speaker sound system with the King Ranch.

Every Ford Explorer comes with a variety of advanced safety features like lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot and cross-traffic monitoring, automated emergency braking, automatic high beams, trailer sway control, and frontal collision mitigation. Thanks to the latter, the Explorer warns you of a potential collision and applies the brakes when necessary. You also get additional safety features depending on the trim. For example, with the ST-Line, enjoy additional driver-assistance features like a surround-view camera system, adaptive cruise control, and evasive steering assist. Meanwhile, the King Ranch comes with rear automatic brakes.
