Performance & Capability

You deserve the power to choose how you're going to explore the roads. The Explorer offers multiple engine options, allowing you to curate the right vehicle for you. The Durango also offers multiple engine options, but the Traverse only gives you one engine option, which doesn't seem like much of a choice. The Explorer gives you access to various drive modes and has a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds. Its available all-wheel drive drivetrain offers enhanced traction control, helping you better navigate the roads around you.

Explorer Engine Options

  • 2.3-liter EcoBoost® Turbo I-4 with 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque
  • 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 with 385 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque

Technology

All of these vehicles have their own versions of infotainment, safety, and driver assistance technologies. They are designed to keep you entertained, informed, and secure while you're exploring. The Ford Explorer is equipped with our popular SYNC® technology, wireless Apple CarPlay®, and wireless Android Auto™. You can rest easy thanks to our Ford Co-Pilot360® driver assist technologies and our Theft Protection system.

The Explorer outpaces the competition thanks to our Ford BlueCruise technology. The Traverse offers its Super Cruise technology in order to compete. However, the BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology is available on more than 130,000 miles of controlled-access highways through the U.S. and Canada, making the Explorer your go-to option when you want to enjoy hands-free driving.
