The 2018 Ford Explorer: Features and Specs

Under the Hood

With five available trims — standard, XLT, Limited, Sport, and Platinum — the 2018 Ford Explorer is built to meet your needs. Whether you’re heading to the lake or driving to soccer practice, the available 365-horsepower 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine delivers 350 lb.-ft. of torque to haul passengers and gear. The standard 6-speed SelectShift® automatic transmission ensures smooth gear shifting on your journey.

The Explorer can also be equipped with the available Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System™ to provide reliable traction and stability.

Seating and Storage

Whether you’re loading up the family or the whole team, the Explorer’s spacious interior offers three rows of seating to accommodate up to seven passengers. The second row boasts a 60/40-split fold-flat bench, while the third row is equipped with a 50/50-split folding seat.

If you don’t have passengers, but need cargo space, fold down the second- and third-row seats to open an impressive 81.7 cu. ft. of storage area.

Safety First

Ford prides itself on taking safety seriously. That’s why the 2018 Ford Explorer comes with Curve Control to help keep the SUV upright while driving winding roads. The feature automatically slows the Explorer down by as much as 10 mph in one second if it senses you’re driving too fast around a curve.

The available enhanced active park assist feature uses 12 ultrasonic sensors to see if a parking spot is suitable and then assists in backing the Explorer into the spot. You just have to shift, accelerate, and brake. Parallel parking has never been easier.
