The much-anticipated Ford Explorer finally arrived, and it did not disappoint. This third-generation SUV features a host of new tech goodies, a slightly sportier design, and, most importantly, an increased towing capacity of 5,300 pounds.
The previous model Explorer could tow a little less, so the fact that the new one can tow an extra 5,300 pounds will be a welcomed addition for many drivers. And with the increased towing capacity comes an upgraded powertrain. The standard engine is now a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
Of course, there’s also still the available 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 option for those who need even more power.
But the changes aren’t just under the hood; there are also plenty of new techs to get excited about. Perhaps the most impressive new addition is the standard 12-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This massive display dominates the center stack and gives passengers plenty of entertainment options while on the road.
For those who always like to stay connected even while away from cell service, there’s a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot that can support up to 10 devices simultaneously.
The all-new Ford Explorer should definitely be at the top of your list if you are on the lookout for a new SUV. With its increased towing capacity, powerful engine options, and plentiful tech goodies, this third-generation SUV has everything you could want.
