Ford Explorer Overview
Why Choose the Ford Explorer?
The Ford Explorer is a three-row midsize SUV built on a rear-wheel-drive-based architecture for more confident handling and available all-wheel drive for Utah winters. Seating up to seven, available twin-turbo V6 power, and towing capacity of up to 5,600 pounds give Bountiful drivers a capable family hauler that is equally comfortable on canyon roads and cross-state road trips.
Inside, the Explorer features an available 13.2-inch SYNC® 4 touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and Ford Co-Pilot360™ driver-assist suite with Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Centering, and Evasive Steering Assist. Flexible second-row bench or captain’s chairs, a folding third row, and a power-tilt steering column on higher trims make the Explorer practical for daily duty around Davis County and Salt Lake City.
