The Ford Explorer consistently ranks among the best vehicles in its class. The Explorer is one Ford Motor Company’s largest passenger vehicle; it is a three-row crossover that sits alongside the Flex and the Expedition in size. The Ford Explorer in Buffalo Grove dates back to 1991 when it was first introduced as a replacement for the Ford Bronco.
The latest generation:
The current Explorer was first introduced in 2011; it was given a general “face-lift” in 2016. Currently, the vehicle is available with three different engine options and five trim levels. The Explorer brings a lot to the party for those buyers looking for a full-size crossover SUV. The Explorer is not only luxurious, it is versatile; it is available with second-row captain’s chairs or a bench seat, the third-row bench seat is available with full power folding. When the third row is folded flat the Explorer has plenty of space for cargo.
The 2017 Explorer is unchanged except for the introduction of an appearance package for the XLT and the Sync 3 infotainment setup.
A look at the features:
Depending on how the second row is configured, a Ford Explorer in Buffalo Grove will comfortably seat six or seven people. Regardless of which engine is specified, it will be coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission. All five trims are available with all-wheel drive, the base model, the XLT, and Limited models are also available in front wheel drive.
The base model comes standard with a 3.5L V6 engine rated at 290 HP. Standard equipment includes review camera, rear climate control, an eight-way power driver’s seat, a generous dashboard display panel, Sync and Bluetooth.
As the trim levels progress the Explorer offers more in the way of comfort and driver assistance. The top of the range Platinum trim includes a sunroof, parking assets, adaptive cruise control, a heated steering wheel and fully ventilated front seats.
