The 2023 Ford Explorer is a versatile SUV that fits naturally in both cities and off-road surroundings by providing stunning engine performance and excellent handling alongside off-road versatility. Also fuel-efficient and ready for long-distance journeys, this stylish adventurer offers a wide array of tech and luxury comforts, and all the following impressive features are what you can expect to find when taking it for a test drive.

Performance for All Occasions

This edition of the Explorer provides excellent performance, made possible by all three of its impressive engines. The first is a 300-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder that can haul up to 5,300 pounds on a trailer. If you’re looking for a mix of strength and fuel efficiency, the 3.3-liter hybrid V6 delivers 318 horses, gets up to 28 MPG in estimated highway mileage, and can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

The strongest engine, a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6, produces 400 horsepower while lending the vehicle a 5,600-pound tow rating. Staying true to its name, this SUV easily explores off-road terrains without hesitation thanks to its Intelligent 4WD system, which is complemented by the multimode Terrain Management System.

Convenience, Comfort, and Style

Comfortably seating up to seven passengers, this edition’s cabin is sure to make your journeys more relaxing and enjoyable with available features like heated and ventilated leather-trimmed seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a twin-panel moonroof that everyone will love.

Outside, features like the Adaptive LED headlamps and fog lamps provide convenience, while the wide variety of wheel styles and sizes add all the flare you need to the exterior, with up to 21 inches available. Carrying cargo on the roof is made simple with the Yakima SkyBox, and the power liftgate can be opened quickly with the push of a button.

Advanced Technology and Safety

Providing peace of mind and safety while offering entertainment and navigation functions, this edition’s many technology features are all impressive, like SYNC 3 and FordPass Connect. The first feature is an infotainment system that combines voice-controlled navigation, SiriusXM access, a variety of music sources, and hands-free calling, while the other feature lets you perform remote functions, like locking and unlocking the vehicle and locating it when you’ve forgotten where you’ve parked.

Features like the Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist, and the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) help you avoid collisions on the road, and Active Park Assist 2.0 can autonomously park the vehicle for you once you’ve activated it and chosen a parking space.

Thanks to its comfortable, tech-packed interior and strong performance, the 2023 Explorer is ideal for everyday commutes and highway road trips. Come experience everything this sophisticated SUV has to offer by contacting us today at Bill McCandless Ford.
