Performance

The 2023 Ford Explorer comes standard with a 10-speed automatic transmission to provide you with smooth gear transitions. Plus, as soon as you put the pedal to the metal inside this ride, you’ll be achieving 300 horsepower1 and 310 lb.-ft. of torque1. This is courtesy of the standard 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder powertrain, but your options don’t end there. We’d love to bring your attention to the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 motor, which doles out a mighty 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. RWD is standard on this auto, but you can spring for the available AWD for better performance when you wish to go off the beaten path. What’s not to love? 

Interior

Once you get settled into the standard 8-way power-adjustable driver’s chair, you’ll be able to enjoy the 43 inches of front legroom. On your way home from the Forever Wild Trails, you may find yourself at odds with your passengers over the vehicle’s climate. Don’t worry, as you’ll have the standard tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control so that you, your copilot, and those in the rear can decide for their respective areas. Are you traveling with less people and more cargo? Then the standard 50/50 manual split-fold third-row and 35/30/35 split-fold-flat second-row bench seats will offer more room. That way, you can bring along your more cumbersome equipment. Visit our location, and we’ll show you how it works today!
