Description

The Ford Explorer may be one of the most familiar sport-utility vehicles in the universe, but it's hardly a rugged SUV anymore. We call it a crossover vehicle--a wagon with car-based running gear, and some off-road ability, but more emphasis on family-hauling and all-weather ability. That sea change makes today's Explorer the most suited yet to how most drivers actually use it. Gas mileage is better than ever, and so is handling. On the infotainment front, the Explorer has more navigation, audio, and connectivity options than any Ford of just a few years ago--rivaled only by its archrival, the trail-ready Grand Cherokee.
