Keep reading our in-depth Explorer review to learn more.

Features & Trims

The 2018 Ford Explorer in Phoenix is available in base, XLT, Limited, Sport and Platinum trims. The seven-passenger SUV comes with a wide range of standards, including 18-inch wheels, a 60/40-split second-row seat, a 4.2-inch display screen, Bluetooth and a six-speaker sound system. The updated 2018 Explorer also includes four new exterior colors: burgundy velvet tinted clearcoat, cinnamon glaze, platinum dune tricoat and blue metallic. In addition, Ford has now added Wi-Fi to all models across the board.

For more luxury and amenities, 2018 Ford Explorer reviews recommend going with the top-ranging Platinum trim, which adds ventilated front seats, heated steering, a panoramic sunroof, adaptive cruise control and a 12-speaker Sony audio system.

Under-the-Hood Mechanics

The entry-level base model is moved by a gutsy 3.5-liter V6 that is capable of producing up to 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. If that's not enough power, 2018 Ford Explorer reviews say the 3.5-liter turbocharger, which delivers 365 horses and 360 pound-feet of torque, is the perfect solution for towing all your toys to the lake with ease.

Every new Explorer comes with a six-speed automatic that sends power to the vehicle's front wheels or all four wheels, depending on the trim. When properly equipped, towing capacity tops off at 5,000 pounds.

Advanced Safety Equipment

Standard safety equipment on the new Explorer includes high-quality airbags, stability control, antilock brakes and a rearview camera, which makes parking problems a thing of the past. Upper trims add front collision warning with emergency braking, blind spot alert and lane keep assist.
