The 2024 Ford Explorer

Under the hood of the 2024 Explorer, two engine options allow you to choose your preferred balance of power and efficiency. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder generates 300 horsepower. Or go for the available 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 if you really want to turn heads, with its 400 horses eager to demonstrate their strength.

The Explorer rides on a rear-wheel drive platform, but don't worry about getting stuck—intelligent all-wheel drive remains an option.

When it comes to mileage, the 2.3L EcoBoost and rear-wheel drive combination nets 21 mpg city and 28 highway. The beefier V6 model sees a slight drop but still gets a respectable 18 city and 26 highway. Going for all-wheel drive results in a small decline in fuel efficiency across the board.

Finally, the 2024 Ford Explorer has a max towing capacity of 5,600 lbs and max cargo volume of 56 cubic feet.

The 2024 Ford Explorer is a technology powerhouse. Ford Co-Pilot360 offers its iconic suite of driver-assist features like the Lane-Keeping System and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS). The Rear View Camera simplifies backing up, projecting a clear image onto the vibrant 10.1-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen.

SYNC 3 infotainment, accessible through the touchscreen, delivers easy control and smartphone integration. FordPass Connect enables remote vehicle access from your phone for the ultimate convenience. Rounding out the Explorer's tech is customizable multi-color ambient lighting.

The 2024 Ford Explorer has an exterior built for both wild and city driving. Features like the twin-panel moonroof and power liftgate make it a prime choice for any situation. The adaptive LED headlights are another neat touch.

All right, let's talk style. You can accessorize your Ford Explorer exterior with essentials for outdoor enthusiasts, such as the Skybox, Front Loader bike carrier, and MegaWarrior cargo basket.

As for colors, the 2024 Ford Explorer palette is varied. Popular neutrals include Agate Black, Carbonized Gray, and Iconic Silver. For a bolder look, Forged Green offers a military-inspired vibe. Upgrading to premium colors unlocks extra-cost finishes like Star White Metallic, Rapid Red, and Stone Blue.

As the entry-level trim, the standard Explorer impresses. Its extensive suite of technology starts with the B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen®, generating 980 watts of power channeled through 14 speakers and a subwoofer. You'll always have access to your favorite playlists and podcasts with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

The Explorer comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360, a top-notch suite of driver-assist technologies like Lane Keeping Alert and Auto High Beam Headlamps. The easy-to-use Rear View Camera and rear parking sensors are helpful as well.

The 8-way power driver's seat enables you to fine-tune the perfect position and a power liftgate gives easy access to cargo space. Another neat feature is Tri-zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control, which comes standard.

Motivation comes courtesy of the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 turbocharged engine with auto start-stop technology. The black mesh grille and automatic LED reflector headlamps bolster curb appeal.

Building upon the base model with a serious upgrade, the XLT driver's seat expands to 10-way power adjustability, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel is introduced. We didn't forget about passengers, equipping their seats with 4-way power functionality for the first time.

Both driver and front passenger gain access to heated seats for cold. Second-row captain's chairs with armrests and easy entry cater to kids and adults alike. Infotainment ramps up thanks to the 10.1-inch LCD SYNC® 3 touchscreen display enabling pinch-to-zoom gestures.

The instrument panel productivity screen grows to 6.5 inches to supplement gauges. And Intelligent Access with Push Button Start simplifies accessing and operating your vehicle. A black mesh insert grille with chrome bars matches the LED signature lighting well. Lastly, black roof rack side rails help equip the XLT for whatever gear you need to bring along.

The ST-Line turns up exterior aesthetics with performance-inspired accents. 20-inch machined aluminum wheels make an aggressive statement, while dual chrome exhaust tips add visual sizzle out back. An illuminated EXPLORER hood badge amplifies road presence.

Power-folding side mirrors are now auto-dimming, and the windshield wipers gain rain-sensing capabilities. Embedded navigation powered by the voice-activated touchscreen allows easy route guidance. HD Radio capability comes standard, and so does remote start, HD Radio, and a wireless charging pad.

A 360-degree Camera with a Split-View Display gives you a bird's eye view for maneuvering in tight spots. All occupants will enjoy the ActiveX™ Seating Material with Miko® Inserts and Red Stitching. That pop of red continues on the heated steering wheel. Lastly, the multi-colored ambient lighting sets the mood just right.

Leave paved roads behind without hesitation in the 2024 Explorer Timberline. Its 8.66-inch ground clearance, skid plate protection, and all-terrain tires give you the capability to traverse gravel, dirt, snow, and uneven terrain. Intelligent 4WD continually balances torque distribution between axles to maintain composure.

The SelectShift feature with paddle shifters puts you fully in charge of gear changes for the most control possible during off-road driving. Heathered cloth seats with deep tigerine stitching help the Timberline's cabin make a rugged statement.

A 3.58 TORSEN limited-slip rear axle enhances grip, so you won't lose momentum if one wheel loses contact with the ground. The optional dealer-installed off-road light kit with Ford Performance upgrades outputs 2.5 times more brightness than stock to illuminate trails.

As the first luxury-focused trim level, the Limited delivers on its promise of upscale materials and technology. Leather-trimmed seating gains micro-perforations and accent stitching for sophistication. Point in case: the leather-trimmed seats with micro-perforated inserts and accent stitching.

The exterior gets gussied up with 20" Premium Painted Aluminum wheels and power-folding mirrors. Matching the exterior's poise, second-row seats now gain heating functionality to keep everyone comfortable.

Performance fanatics will flock to the Explorer ST. It is the first Explorer to pack the larger 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine. Quad chrome exhaust tips and LED fog lights leave no doubts about the ST's intentions, while its unique suspension tuning delivers agile handling. The flat-bottom steering wheel provides a race-inspired look and feel during aggressive cornering.

The ST's interior stands out through Miko® microfiber inserts and City Silver contrast stitching. Ford offers new ST owners an exclusive complimentary trip to its ST SUV Experience Driving School. Get expert instruction and guidance on extracting the most from your Explorer ST during track sessions and controlled environments.

The King Ranch represents the pinnacle of Ford truck luxury, bringing southwestern style to the Explorer lineup. Signature King Ranch badging and wheel center caps signal its upscale mission. An EcoBoost V6 provides the same 400-hp output as the Explorer ST, forging an intriguing combination of power and luxury.

Inside, Del Rio leather with lasso perforations and Mesa/Norias upholstery colors reflect the King Ranch's upscale style. Hand-stitched seatback logos provide subtle design flair front and rear. The 12.3-inch digital productivity screen offers crisp graphics and intuitive controls. Power-folding third-row seating enables reconfiguring cargo space at the touch of a button.

The universal garage door opener also comes in handy, allowing you to effortlessly open your garage door from inside the vehicle.

The 2024 Explorer Platinum represents the end of the line, the top trim. You'll find subtle exterior details like satin aluminum grille inserts and illuminated front scuff plates. Less subtle are the massive 21" bright machined-face aluminum wheels with luster nickel-painted pockets.

The Platinum can also be outfitted with an available and spectacular Twin-Panel Moonroof that extends over the first and second rows. Platinum-exclusive leather upholstery gains tri-diamond perforations along with branded embroidery.

Cutting-edge technologies include adaptive headlights for enhanced night vision and reverse automatic braking.
