The Ford Explorer is a pioneering vehicle, as it was among the first models to help usher in the modern SUV era. Now in its sixth generation, more than 30 years after its initial introduction, Ford's midsize, three-row utility vehicle remains among the segment's most popular models.
The 2024 Explorer delivers comfortable accommodations, capable performance, appealing amenities, and abundant practicality. It also offers several unique configurations to suit different needs and lifestyles, including the adventure-ready Explorer Timberline, the sporty Explorer ST, and the deluxe Explorer King Ranch. You can find the perfect fit for your Cresson or Colver commute at Luther Ford Ebensburg. Here's a quick look at some of the highlights.
Ford Explorer Performance Options
The Ford Explorer boasts one of the segment's quickest base configurations. A 2.3-liter EcoBoost® turbo-four sends 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels, enabling a zero-to-60 time of ~6.0 seconds. An Intelligent 4WD system is available for all models, providing surefooted all-season handling and control.
Drivers seeking even livelier performance can look to the Ford Explorer's 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6. Standard in ST, King Ranch, and Platinum, this engine generates 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. The Ford Performance-tuned Explorer ST further enhances the driving experience with sport-tuned suspension, quad exhaust, paddle shifters, and available high-performance brakes.
For outdoor enthusiasts seeking off-road adventure, the Ford Explorer Timberline adds necessary equipment like standard Intelligent 4WD, a 3.58 TORSEN® limited-slip differential, all-terrain tires, off-road suspension tuning, and the Terrain Management System™.
Accommodations and Utility
The Ford Explorer's cabin is a nice place to pass the miles, with modern styling, ample passenger space, and cozy seats. Seating for seven is standard, or you can get second-row captain's chairs for easier third-row access, and a more open cabin feel. Folding the third row expands storage capacity from 18.2 to 47.9 cubic feet. When an adventure or errand requires more cargo space, you can fold all rear seats for 87.8 cubic feet.
Standard amenities include a power-adjustable driver's seat, a power liftgate, and three-zone automatic climate control. Depending on the trim level or package, you can enjoy additional comforts and conveniences, including:
- Heated/ventilated front seats

- Heated steering wheel
- Hands-free liftgate
- Power-folding mirrors
- Active Motion massage
- Second-row sunshades

If you prefer your smartphone's familiar interface, you can integrate it seamlessly via standard Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Numerous driver aids are available to augment confidence and convenience, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane-Centering, a 360-degree camera system, and automated parking assistance. But no matter what configuration you choose for your family's travels, you'll get standard Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety technologies, including:
