If you’re looking for an adaptable SUV that can easily double as both an off-road trailblazer and an everyday commuter vehicle, consider the 2022 Ford Explorer. This versatile seven-passenger fan favorite combines exceptional performance with an inviting cabin and all of the off-road enhancements you need to venture off the beaten path. So if you haven’t sat behind the wheel of the all-new 2022 Explorer yet, here are some of its stunning features you’ve been missing out on.
Unrivaled Performance
Regardless of how much horsepower you need, the 2022 Explorer has you covered with three remarkable engines available. For the most strength, you can go with the twin-turbo 400 horsepower 3.0L V6, which has plenty of get-up-and-go acceleration. To tone it down a notch, there’s also a 300-horsepower 2.3L four-cylinder that’s still turbocharged for extra pep.
The third engine, a 3.3L hybrid V6, belts out 318 horses, so its fuel efficiency doesn’t affect its performance. As for towing, all three engines hold their own, with the 3.3L hybrid capable of hauling 5,000 pounds, the 2.3L offering a 5300-pound towing capacity, and the 3.0L delivering an impressive 5,600-pound rating.
Comfortable and Rugged
The Explorer’s design is one that has been perfected over many generations, with the 2022 edition offering everything from heated multi-contour seats to a twin-panel moonroof, as well as a rotary gear shift dial.
Peering outside the vehicle through the second- and third-row privacy glass, you’ll notice a modern, striking exterior appearance with up to 21 inches offered in wheel sizes and head-turning paint colors, such as Iconic Silver and Carbonized Gray.
Awe-Inspiring Technology
Always up to date with modern technology, Ford has graced this Explorer with the exciting SYNC 3 system, which offers smartphone connectivity, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and a voice command function that allows you to keep your hands on the wheel while choosing which songs or stations you’d like to listen to.
If you have teenage children or plan to let others use the vehicle, you’ll love the control you have with the available MyKey feature. This option allows you to limit certain things, such as the maximum volume of music and the vehicle’s speed, plus you can ensure that driver-assist features and traction control always remain on.
Safety in All Scenarios
The Explorer also offers top-notch safety monitoring systems, including Lane-Keeping System, which can sound an audible chime with visual alerts if the vehicle starts to veer off course towards another lane. If you don’t correct this quickly, the system can then steer the vehicle back to its place within the center of the lane.
This vehicle can also park itself with the Active Park Assist 2.0 feature, which simply requires you to put the vehicle into neutral before pushing a button, at which point the system then directs the Explorer into a designated parking spot all on its own.
With high-performance engines, on-guard safety systems, and avant-garde technology, the 2022 Explorer is a luxury SUV that isn’t afraid to get dirty on backwoods trails. To take this versatile Ford SUV out for a test drive, stop by and see us today at Asheboro Ford.
