Comfortably seating up to seven passengers, the 2023 Ford Explorer takes on challenges and adventures head-on with reliable performance, off-roading prowess, and excellent fuel economy. Adding to all this is its luxurious interior and advanced technology, ensuring that every drive is a relaxing one for all.
Strength and Versatility
The 2023 Explorer’s three engine options offer plenty of strength to help tackle demanding driving conditions, both on and off-road. The base engine, a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder, produces a muscular 300-horsepower output, while the intermediate option is a 318-horsepower 3.3-liter hybrid V6, which offers up to 28 mpg of fuel efficiency on highways.
Although the first two engines are sure to satisfy most drivers, if you’re looking for even more strength, the strongest engine is a 3.0-liter V6 that delivers 400 horses and lends the vehicle an impressive 5,600-pound maximum towing capacity: perfect for bringing a camper or trailer along on outings. When nature calls, both four-wheel drive and a seven-mode terrain management system are offered, making off-road adventures a breeze.
Comforts and Technology
Diamond-perforated leather seats are available throughout this edition’s spacious cabin, with a heating setting for chilly days and a tri-zone climate control to provide three separate temperature zones for passengers who have different preferences. The twin-panel moonroof is sure to be appreciated when the weather’s nice, and the stylish ambient lighting feature lets you choose a preferred color when setting a mood inside.
As the hub of the vehicle’s many sophisticated tech features, the SYNC 3 infotainment system provides navigation assistance, smartphone connectivity, and a world of entertainment options, and while its 10.1-inch touchscreen is certainly responsive and easy to use, you can also use your voice to control everything while driving. A 14-speaker premium audio system complements this setup, as does a convenient Wi-Fi hotspot that you can connect to virtually anywhere within a 50-foot range of the vehicle.
Advanced Safety Features
Many of the Explorer’s hi-tech safety systems work as a team to help you avoid collisions, like Pre-Collision Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking. By actively monitoring your lane for potential front-end collisions, these features function seamlessly together to first warn you of possible collisions before then applying the brakes if you’re still approaching other vehicles too quickly.
There’s also the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), which can detect vehicles in your blind spot zones when heavy rain or fog are causing poor visibility, and to always maintain optimal brightness, the Automatic High-Beam Headlamps adapt to changing lighting conditions on the road as needed.
As fun to drive as it is versatile, the 2023 Explorer offers outstanding performance and plenty of creature comforts inside its accommodating seven-passenger cabin. Contact us at Gates Ford Lincoln today to see this popular Ford SUV’s many other impressive features from behind the wheel.
