You just can't beat the Ford Explorer's ability to carry you and your family safely and reliably. However, you might not realize that the Ford Explorer is a hugely capable Sports Utility Vehicle. Depending upon the trim package you choose, the Ford Explorer here at Ultimate Ford is capable of towing up to 5,600 pounds.
The base Ford Explorer offers many features that make the vehicle quite capable both on and off the road. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available in all trims. The base engine is a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine with upgrades for higher performance. Some trims of the Ford Explorer offer four-wheel drive and a Terrain Management System, which allows you to choose the type of response the Explorer gives on multiple types of terrain (rain, sand, mud, etc.). The Ford Explorer is offering a Timberline trim that makes off-roading a breeze: this trim includes a TORSEND Limited Slip Rear Axle and steel underbody skid plates.
