At a Glance: The 2022 Ford Explorer
Strong Performance Options
If you’re looking for incredible engine performance, the Explorer has plenty of it in the form of three different engine options. Standard on ST and King Ranch models is the 3.0L V6 with an impressive 400 horsepower output. For excellent fuel economy with sustained power, you’ll love the 318-horsepower 3.3L hybrid option that comes standard in Platinum models while available for the Limited trim.
Even the base engine found on most models, a 300-horsepower 2.3L four-cylinder, is turbocharged and ready for both highways and trails. Along with a standard trailer sway control feature, this SUV can tow a remarkable amount of 5,600 pounds when equipped with Ford’s Class IV Towing Package.
Stylish Interior and Exterior
While sitting in the Explorer’s opulent cabin, you’ll find many available features to make your drives more comfortable, including multi-contour seats with both upper and lower back massage, a heated steering wheel, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror to protect your eyes from headlight glare.
Outside, the vehicle’s varied wheel options range in size from 18-inches to 21-inches, with Michelin self-sealing tires available, as well as LED fog lamps. Three Yakima outfitter packages, Skybox, MegaWarrior, and FrontLoader, are also available, which can enhance the Explorer’s exterior by adding roof-mounted bike carriers, an enclosed storage box, or a cargo basket with netting.
Trailblazing Technology
With the vehicle’s SYNC 3 system, connecting an Android or iPhone through its Bluetooth function allows you to access many of your phone’s features directly on the system’s 10.1-inch touchscreen.
For superior audio clarity and punchy, rich bass, you’ll want to opt for the available B&O sound system, which includes a subwoofer among its 12 high-quality speakers. Charging your phone or connecting to the internet can both be done wirelessly with the LTE Wi-Fi hotspot and the available wireless charging pad.
Next-Level Safety Features
Pre-Collision Assist, Post-Collision Braking, and SOS Post-Crash Alert are three systems that can all come into play in the event of an accident. First, Pre-Collision Assist will try to warn you that a collision is about to occur and will halt the vehicle if necessary.
If a collision does occur, the Post-Collision Braking System will attempt to prevent a second collision by applying the vehicle’s brakes automatically, while the SOS Post-Crash Alert System will automatically activate your hazard lights so other vehicles can avoid yours.
Combining an advanced four-wheel-drive system with sensational performance, sophisticated technology, and a posh interior design, the 2022 Explorer is an SUV worth raving about. Stop in and visit us at Beachum and Lee Ford today to see this adventurous Ford vehicle in action from behind the wheel.
