When you need an adventurous SUV that fits as comfortably in off-road scenarios as it does on local city streets, consider the resilient 2022 Explorer. Known for its 4×4 capabilities, plush interior, and convenient tech features, this vehicle is remarkably agile across different terrains and doesn’t back down from a challenge. So, if you haven’t experienced the 2022 Ford Explorer yet, here’s a quick introduction to some of its highlights.
Multiple Performance Options
Of the three engines available for the 2022 Explorer, the
strongest in the group is the ground-shaking 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, as it
delivers 400 horsepower. The other two engines, a 300-horsepower 2.3-liter and
a 3.3-liter hybrid with 318 horses are both impressively powerful as well.
Off the pavement, you can tackle just about any challenging scenario by
combining the 7-mode Terrain Management System with the Intelligent 4WD option,
along with the durable Michelin self-sealing tires. The available 8.7 inches of
ground clearance, limited-slip rear differential, and skid plates found on
Timberline models are just some of the reasons why it’s considered to be the
Explorer’s premium off-road trim.
Relaxing and Spacious Inside
Inside the Explorer’s roomy cabin, which seats up to seven
passengers, is a tri-zone climate control system, so passengers can enjoy their
own temperature settings. Ambient lighting and front-row multi-contour seats
with five back massage settings are also available.
If you’re a music lover, the outstanding 12-speaker B&O audio system is a
must-have option, as it adds an exhilarating background soundtrack with
pristine clarity to every drive. To keep camping equipment or groceries neatly
organized, there’s an available cargo management system for storing cargo
behind the third-row seats.
Truly Innovative Technology
This SUV’s technology is notable as well, as there are
plenty of different state-of-the-art options available. With any compatible
smartphone, you can connect to Wi-Fi with the 4G LTE hotspot or access your
contacts and make hands-free calls to them with the SYNC 3 infotainment system.
You can also charge your device without any cables, thanks to the wireless
charging console.
The available Adaptive Cruise Control System, one of Ford’s major technological
feats, can help to relieve stress on long drives by keeping your vehicle’s
speed set to your preferences while also adapting it to the speed of other
vehicles in your lane.
Stay Secure in All Scenarios
Steering clear of other vehicles in your daily drives is simpler with advanced warning technology like Pre-Collision Assist, Lane-Centering, and the Blind Spot Information System. Even while slowly reversing in parking lots, you’ll have increased safety with the vehicle’s rearview camera and reverse parking sensors.
If you forget to turn your high beams off as another vehicle is approaching yours, the Auto High-Beam Headlamps feature can automatically do this for you so other drivers aren’t distracted by your lights. Even parking is made simpler with the available Active Park Assist 2.0 system, which can park the vehicle for you after you’ve located an empty parking space.
The 2022 Explorer offers the best of both worlds with its rugged approach to tough terrains and comfortable, tech-integrated cabin. Come take this versatile Ford vehicle for a spin today at Crain Ford of Little Rock to see why it’s considered a legend among SUVs.
