Towing & Trailer Sway Control

Building on AdvanceTrac with RSC (Roll Stability Control), the standard trailer sway control selectively brakes and adjusts engine power to maintain trailer control. The result is stability and control, even when towing large loads. When properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 lbs. The Class IV Trailer Tow Package is available with the 2.3L and 3.0L EcoBoost engines and 3.3L hybrid engine.

Prepared for the Journey

Available Intelligent 4WD optimizes powertrain and braking systems, allowing the vehicle to deliver the right amount of traction to match the driving conditions.

Plus, Hill Descent Control helps control braking and speed on steep grades. And with Intelligent 4WD, there's also the added benefit of enhanced control on your day-to-day commute, especially when conditions are rough.

Intelligent 4WD With Terrain Management System

This standard feature can help you tackle any adventure. Available Intelligent 4WD comes with seven selectable drive modes, accessed through a single easy-to-use dial in the center console. Normal, Trail, Deep Snow/Sand, Slippery, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Eco mode that each come with special 3D animated graphics in the available 12.3" digital cluster.

Whatever You Do, Do It in Style.

The power and driving dynamics of the New Explorer SUV come wrapped in an eye-catching design that boasts authentic comfort and style. And because it was built for the active lifestyle, you can also expect an interior space that accommodates the kids, the dog, the sports equipment, camping gear and just about anything else you may need on the road to exploration.

Great Performance With the Looks to Match

The first thing you'll notice about the New Explorer SUV is its dynamic design, including adaptive LED headlamps and unique muscular-looking grille. The interior is also crafted with an array of defining attributes. Available Tri-Diamond perforated leather seating surfaces, ambient lighting, a precision-engineered center console and rotary gear shift dial set you up for comfort.

Capability Drives Experience

The 2022 Ford Explorer is ready for adventure, thanks to an array of capability-enhancing features. From RWD and a 10-speed transmission to the available 3.0L EcoBoost® engine and available Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System, the Explorer is prepared for the road ahead.

Seating for up to Seven

Available third-row PowerFold® third-row seats make it easy to accommodate both passengers and cargo. With the seats up, the Ford Explorer can carry seven passengers. Or, fold them down and make room for cargo.

Explorer delivers when you need configurable cargo space. With the second-and third-row seats in the upright position, you have maximum seating plus enough cargo space to haul the essentials. * If you need more room, the Explorer provides up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the first-row seat.
