New Ford Explorer for Sale near Tucson
The Explorer is Ford's second-longest continuously running nameplate (behind the F-Series) and was among the first vehicles to usher in the modern SUV era. Today, it remains a compelling option for drivers seeking versatility and capability in a spacious, family-friendly package.
The Explorer offers comfortable three-row accommodations, flexible cargo space, and a wealth of desirable amenities. It's also enjoyable to drive, with potent performance and impressive handling for its size. And with unique and feature-packed trim levels, it's easy to find the ideal Ford Explorer for your needs and lifestyle.
Performance
Despite its larger size, the Ford Explorer has no issues getting quickly up to speed. Under the hood, a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder engine sends 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels via a well-tuned 10-speed automatic transmission. However, if you're seeking more surefooted handling or off-road capability, you can get Ford Intelligent 4WD standard in Timberline models and optional for all other trims. Properly equipped, the Explorer can tow an impressive 5,600 pounds.
Want an SUV with even more internal motivation? ST, King Ranch, and Platinum models draw power from a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 rated at 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Or, if efficiency is high on your priorities list, you equip the Limited or Platinum trim with a 318-horsepower hybrid V-6 with an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in combined city/highway driving.
Accommodations and Utility
The Ford Explorer's modern and inviting cabin offers ample passenger space, quality materials, and cozy seats, making it a pleasant place to pass the miles. Numerous amenities are available to enhance the experience, including standard features like a power-adjustable driver's seat, a power liftgate, and tri-zone automatic climate control. Moving up the trim ladder, you can add equipment like heated and ventilated seats, a hands-free liftgate, leatherette or leather upholstery, and Active Motion seat massage.
Base models have a second-row bench and seating for seven. However, if your family doesn't require the extra seatbelt, you can open up the space even more with second-row captain's chairs-standard on all other tiers (7-passenger seating remains an option). With all seats in use, you'll have 18.2 cubic feet to spare for luggage or groceries. When you need more room for an errand or adventure, you can fold the third row to access 47.9 cubes or fold all rear seats for 87.8.
Infotainment and Safety Technology
A standard 10.1-inch SYNC 3 touchscreen makes it easy to make and receive calls, enjoy your favorite music, and find the ideal route to your destination with available navigation. Or, if you prefer your smartphone's familiar interface, you can integrate it seamlessly with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Your family's safety isn't just an option. So, every Ford Explorer includes Ford Co-Pilot360™, a suite of cutting-edge driver aids that watch your surroundings and help you better detect and respond to potential hazards. Standard safety technologies include:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pre-Collision Assist

- Auto High-Beam Headlamps
