2023 Ford Explorer
Discover the potential of the 2023 Ford Explorer. Since 1990, Ford has been improving the Explorer's design. 2023 brings more interior space and premium features to this three-row family SUV. Suitable for the environmentally conscious, large families, and intrepid explorers with lots of gear, the 2023 Ford Explorer is definitely a vehicle to take a closer look at this year.
Trim Levels (Exterior)
There are eight amazing 2023 Ford Explorer trims to choose from: the base model, the XLT, the ST-Line, the Limited, the Timberline, the ST, the Platinum, and the King Ranch. The Limited and the Platinum are available in hybrid versions. High-beam LED headlights are paired with 18-inch wheels in the base model. Purchasing the XLT trim makes you eligible for several upgrade packages.
Not only does the XLT feature heated exterior mirrors and roof rails, but the XLT Sport Appearance Package trades out the 18-inch wheels for the Carbonized Grey exterior trim and matching 20-inch wheels. 20-inch wheels come as standard equipment with the ST-Line, which also has an intriguing black grille and power-folding exterior mirrors.
Drivers who prefer off-road adventures should check out the Timberline model, which has skid plates in the undercarriage, an off-road suspension, and trailer towing accessories. The most upscale trim, the Platinum, features 21-inch wheels, a gleaming aluminum grille, and adaptive headlights that are perfect for turns.
Engine (Power)
You'll get 300 horsepower with the Ford Explorer's 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine and its 10-speed automatic transmission. The 2023 Ford Explorer's elite trims, specifically the ST, King Ranch, and Platinum models have an intense V-6 engine that delivers 400 horsepower. Even the 3.3-liter V-6 electric hybrid engine in the Platinum hybrid and Limited hybrid trims is a heavy hitter with 318 horsepower. The Explorer usually comes with rear-wheel drive, but all-wheel drive is also a potential choice for prospective buyers.
Performance
The 2023 Ford Explorer's RWD hybrid versions have the best fuel economy of all the available trims, reaching 29 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg in the city. Even the non-hybrid options give you an average 24 mpg efficiency rating. The Explorer's 5600-pound towing capacity is also notable.
Interior
The 2023 Ford Explorer is truly designed as a family car. There are four LATCH car seat connectors spread out among the two passenger seating rows. An 8-inch infotainment system with a mobile hotspot and smartphone connectivity can be upgraded to a 10.1-inch screen with a 14-speaker sound system, if desirable. The Premium Technology package adds a massage function to the driver's seat and front passenger seat. Passengers in the rear rows can enjoy the backseat entertainment screen. The Bang & Olufsen audio system is standard in every model except for the base trim.
Safety Features
Every 2023 Ford Explorer comes with rear cross traffic and forward-collision warning systems. Other important safety features are the lane departure alert, lane assist technology, and automatic emergency brakes. There's optional self-parking assist feature for owners of the Platinum and Limited trims. The XLT model's optional XLT Technology Package displays a top-down camera view to help drivers park in tight spots.
