2022 Ford Explorer

The 2022 Explorer is all about giving you options, which is why Ford offers eight incredible trim levels. The Base commands attention with its muscular sculpting and elegant lines, accentuated by fixtures like dazzling silver wheels, distinctive bodyside cladding, and a lip spoiler that takes cues from race-car architecture. The first thing you'll notice about the XLT is its intricately designed chrome grille, which contrasts nicely with body-colored accents. The ST-Line, which is new to the Explorer family, gets a bold black grille flanked by premium headlights and fog lights, as well as distinctive machine-faced wheels.

The Limited adds sleek roof rails, perimeter lights, and a power liftgate. Trim-exclusive decals, black-finished wheels, and blacked-out accents are just a few of the Timberline's notable fixtures. The ST has a streamlined profile courtesy of its body-colored accents. The King Ranch features 10-spoke wheels with eye-catching wheel caps and gleaming chrome accents. Polished metal-look accents feature on the Platinum.

The 2022 Explorer isn't just a stylish SUV; it's also powerful. An intercooled turbo four-cylinder engine gives the Explorer an output of 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Ford also offers a twin-turbo V-6 that generates 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. This robust engine, available in the King Ranch and Platinum and standard in the ST, gives the Explorer a 5,000-pound towing capacity.

Ford enhances both engines in the Explorer lineup with incredible performance dynamics. A 10-speed automatic transmission features in every model, guaranteeing that your Explorer accelerates smoothly and handles effortlessly. The standard front-wheel drive will help you tackle tight turns and curvy roads. If you add the available intelligent all-wheel-drive system, your Explorer can take on wet roads, rocky terrain, and other unstable surfaces with maximum traction and control.

The 2022 Explorer's standard rear bench seating enables it to seat seven people. If you go with the available second-row captain's chairs, your Explorer can accommodate six. Both seating arrangements provide exceptional headroom and legroom. When the rear seats are empty, you can fold them flat to take advantage of 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control are just a few of the Explorer's many comfort features. With the smartphone-compatible touch-screen display, you can stream music, find the nearest gas station, or make hands-free phone calls.

No matter where you're going, the 2022 Ford Explorer's innovative safety features will make the drive a little less stressful. The pre-collision system serves as an extra set of eyes, applying the brakes when it detects a potential collision. The Explorer also comes with adaptive cruise control, tire-pressure monitoring, and parking assistance.
