What Makes the Ford Explorer Stand Out?

In the world of SUVs, there are two camps. On one side, you have the stylish, modern, and streamlined options, while the other side offers rugged designs that look ready to tackle whatever terrain comes their way—and then there is the Ford Explorer. Somehow, the Blue Oval brand has managed to create a style that's all its own, offering a good balance of both sophistication and aggressiveness rolled into one. However, this blend isn't the only thing that makes this SUV stand out.

First, the Explorer is powerful, offering a composed and smooth ride along with responsive handling. The result feels more car-like, which is key for longer road trips with family and friends. That power also provides you with a solid towing capacity, allowing you to easily tackle a to-do list that includes picking up landscaping supplies or loading up the family camper and heading to the campgrounds for the weekend. Even better? Ford offers towing aids that make the task easier, even for those new to it.

Second, this SUV offers an all-wheel drivetrain. That option, combined with drive modes that allow you to customize your focus—whether it be fuel efficiency or managing challenging terrain—ensures you are in control from one mile to the next.

Third, you will find a long list of technological advancements onboard, whether you want to stay connected while driving from point A to point B, enjoy the latest episode of your favorite podcast, or keep your passengers entertained. Technology is also found when exploring the SUV's driver-assist features, as it offers some of the latest systems in the industry, including the ability to drive hands-free on compatible highways.

It is also worth noting that the Explorer is designed with comfort and convenience in mind. For example, there is ample room for your passengers and their belongings, along with multiple USB charging ports, well-placed beverage holders, and smart storage solutions. This makes the ride more enjoyable, whether you are headed a few hours away or simply running errands around town. The cargo space it offers can also be expanded when you need more room for things than people, providing you with the utmost flexibility.

On the comfort side of things, you will find amenities that take the chill out of early morning adventures, support you during long drives, and ensure everything you need is right at your fingertips. There is also a sophistication and sense of calm that runs through the interior, allowing you to fully enjoy the drive and focus on the road ahead.

Discover a Brand-New Ford Explorer 

Finding the right vehicle for your everyday driving needs is only half the battle. You will also need to choose whether a new or pre-owned vehicle is right for you. As mentioned, we offer both in our selection, and the truth is that both offer a number of benefits, which makes your decision one of preference more than anything else.

What are some of those benefits when choosing a new Ford Explorer? The first is the ability to enjoy the latest features and styling. Even if the changes are minimal from one model year to the next, knowing they have the newest version available is key for many of today's drivers—and it may be just as important for you, too.

Of course, you might also be drawn to the peace of mind that a full factory warranty brings. While Ford is known for delivering solid vehicles that last for a long time, it doesn't hurt to have a backup plan in place in case unexpected repairs arise, and that is what the warranty provides. Additionally, newer vehicles tend to be more efficient and run smoother than older models, simply due to tweaks made over time.

You can get the exact model you are hoping for with the help of our team. We can guide you through the ordering process and highlight features that you may not have considered, ensuring you get the right fit.

Browse Our Pre-Owned Ford Explorers

On the pre-owned side, the biggest benefit might be cost savings. When browsing our used inventory, you can often find a top-tier trim for less than it was brand-new, allowing you to stay within your budget. Speaking of, you will also find that used vehicles are often less expensive to insure, saving you even more. What you do with those savings is up to you. You can discuss aftermarket accessories with our team or simply put the money toward a long-awaited road trip.

Choosing a pre-owned Explorer also gives you the opportunity to research various model years, trim levels, and package options to determine which one is the right fit for your driving needs. This research, along with the information we offer, ensures you are making a sound investment.

It is also worth noting that our factory-trained technicians—the same ones available to provide you with a wide range of preventive maintenance services—have thoroughly assessed every used Explorer we have in stock to ensure it is ready for the next owner.
