Ford has updated the Explorer's interior and exterior as well as performance in its 2018 rendition. The first thing you'll notice from the design update is its sleek new grille and distinct front and rear LED signature lighting. With four new exterior paint choices and a refined interior, the new Explorer delivers a fresh new look throughout.

With seating for up to seven passengers, the Ford Explorer delivers a ton of flexibility in seating options. The second row features a 60/40 split-fold-flat bench and available bucket seats and console, while the third row has a 50/50 split folding seat with generous passenger space.

Engine Options

The new Ford Explorer has three engine options, with 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission standard on all options.

• The 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine features 280 horsepower and 310 foot-pound of torque and is available with 4WD and the Class II Trailer Tow package.
• The 3.5-liter V-6 Ti-VCT engine delivers 290 horsepower and 255 foot-pound of torque. All-wheel drive is standard with this engine.

Technology

The Ford Explorer incorporated technology improvements into its interior design as well, including a 4G LTE modem and Wi-Fi hotspot. The new Safe & Smart package option combines several of the trusted safety features you know and love.

Trim Options

The Ford Explorer Platinum's interior delivers a premium driving experience that includes Nirvana leather, heated second-row bucket seats, leather-wrapped steering wheel and real wood accents. The Platinum's exterior is finished with a satin-chrome finish, giving it that platinum luxurious look all around.

Aside from the top-of-the-line Platinum edition, there are five other trim levels to choose from including:

• Base
• XLT
• Limited
• Sport

Standard and additional options include cloth or leather seating, rear auxiliary climate control, second-row bucket seats, third row of seats, 12-speaker Sony premium audio system, twin-panel moonroof, heated and cooled seats and heated steering wheel.
