Sport Utility Vehicles (aka SUVs) have become increasingly popular in recent years because they offer a great combination of practicality and versatility. One of our favorite SUVs is the new 2022 Ford Explorer, which is sure to be a hit with drivers and passengers alike. Let’s take a moment now to get to know this versatile vehicle!
Basics of the Ford Explorer
The Ford Explorer has endured as a mainstay in the company’s lineup for over two decades, and it’s easy to see why. It comes in multiple trims, so there’s an Explorer for everyone. Whether you’re looking to tow your boat, take a family trip, or run errands in the city, the Explorer can do it all.
Unique Features
The Ford Explorer is a great car for families. It comes packed with features that provide amenities and safety for both driver and passenger. The following are just a few of our favorite benefits this vehicle offers:
Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+
Ford’s Co-Pilot360 Assist+ is an all-inclusive suite of safety features that comes standard in the new Explorer. This system offers features like Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane Keeping Aid, and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. Ford’s BlueCruise even enables you to drive your Explorer hands-free to reduce driver fatigue.
Built for Comfort
From the heated steering wheel to the multi-contour Active Motion massage seats, this car has everything you need to keep comfortable during long drives. The high-end trims come with Tri-Diamond perforated leather seating, offering added (and stylish) comfort. The Limited and Platinum versions also come equipped with heated seats in the second row.
Optimized for Entertainment
The Limited, ST, and Platinum trims all come with the 12-speaker B&O Sound system, so you can thoroughly enjoy your favorite tunes on long trips. You can also get FordPass Connect, which means you and your family can use 4G LTE while you’re on the go.
The feature allows ten devices to connect at once and can be used up to 50 feet away from the vehicle. In addition, the wireless charging pad ensures that you never have to worry about your phone running out of batteries while you’re out and about.
Space for Anything and Everyone
The Ford Explorer is a great choice for families because it offers plenty of space. With three rows of seating, you can seat up to seven riders. The Explorer also offers a cargo area that’s both large and versatile. You can configure it to meet your cargo needs by folding down the seats. So whether you’re carrying groceries or stowing away a week’s worth of camping gear, the Explorer has you covered!
Great Trailer-Hauling Capacity
The Explorer is also a great pick for those who need to tow trailers. The Trailer Tow upgrade equips the vehicle with a mounted trailer hitch and can tow up to 5,600 lbs. This means you can easily pull anything from a boat to a small trailer.
If you want an SUV with all the bells and whistles, look no further than the Ford Explorer. With its combination of safety features, comfort, and space, it’s sure to be a hit with the whole family.
