Ohio drivers looking for a three-row SUV to explore the state’s natural areas should look no further than the 2024 Ford Explorer. From flexible interior configurations to easy handling on and off the road, this model is designed to help you conquer new heights.
2024 Ford Explorer Performance
Ford offers two distinct powertrain options for the 2024 Explorer. The base Explorer to the Limited trims come with a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission for a net output of 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Ford pairs this powertrain with standard rear-wheel drive on most trim levels except for the Timberland, which comes in all-wheel drive and is tuned for off-roading.
All-wheel drive is available as an option on all trim levels, so you can easily customize the model for extreme adventures. The ST and higher trims use a bigger 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine that delivers an increased power output for a towing capacity of up to 5,600 lbs. Each trim level can be had with a Class IV towing hitch for effortless trailering.
Adventure-Ready Features
Whether you opt for a rear-wheel or four-wheel drivetrain, each trim level of the 2024 Explorer comes with Ford’s Terrain Management System, a suite of selectable drive modes designed to optimize performance in various driving situations. In the RWD models, the Normal, Trail, Slippery, Tow/Haul, Sport, and Eco modes adjust traction and fuel economy based on the driving conditions and your driving style.
The AWD models come with an additional Deep Snow/Sand mode that enhances traction when driving on loose terrains. Trailer sway control also comes standard for enhanced vehicle control when pulling a trailer. Moreover, you can enhance this SUV with hill descent control if you need assistance when driving on steep slopes.
Family-Friendly Interior
The Explorer boasts an ample interior with plenty of space for adult passengers in all three rows. A seven-seat configuration is standard, providing ample room for three occupants in the second row. Both rear rows boast split-fold designs for an easy expansion of the cargo capacity. For instance, you can fold the third row when you need more space for camping gear or groceries or fold both rear rows to transport bulky items.
A standard power liftgate adds plenty of convenience, especially if you want to access the cargo area while holding grocery bags or your baby. During the ride, an advanced infotainment system and premium audio system can keep everyone in the car entertained. In-cabin Wi-Fi hotspot capability is standard on all trims, and voice-activated hands-free phone control is available via Bluetooth, Android Auto, or Apple CarPlay.
