2022 Ford Explorer

The 2022 Explorer lineup offers eight exceptional trim levels to select from. The Base model is the perfect blend of substantial proportions and classic lines that give it an aggressive yet graceful stance. This eye-catching appearance is enhanced by silver wheels, bodyside cladding, and a beautifully sculpted lip spoiler. The XLT's dazzling chrome grille makes it stand out wherever it goes. A black-finished grille, distinctive fog lamps, and machine-finished wheels are just a few of the ST-Line's exterior highlights.

On the Limited, you'll find perimeter lights, roof rails, and a power liftgate. The Timberline gets trim-exclusive badging, black accents, and blacked-out wheels. The ST's body-colored accents give it a sleek and sophisticated silhouette. The first thing you'll notice about the King Ranch is its dazzling chrome accents, which pair nicely with 10-spoke wheels featuring distinctive wheel caps. The Platinum's accents have an elegant polished finish, befitting its status as the top trim level.

If it's power you're looking for, you'll find it with the 2022 Explorer. Lower trim levels feature an intercooled turbo four-cylinder with an output of 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. If you opt for the King Ranch or Platinum model, you can stick with the standard engine or upgrade to a twin-turbo V-6 capable of producing 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. The V-6 comes standard in the ST and enables the Explorer to tow up to 5,000 pounds.

The 2022 Explorer is built to perform. Every trim features a 10-speed automatic transmission that improves engine response while enabling quick yet smooth acceleration. Front-wheel drive comes standard, or you can upgrade to Ford's intelligent all-wheel-drive system. By continuously monitoring road conditions, the all-wheel drive can quickly adapt when driving on wet roads and other unstable surfaces, providing the right amount of traction for every situation.

The 2022 Explorer can seat seven with its standard bench seating, or you can equip your Explorer with second-row captain's chairs for a six-seater cabin. Both configurations give your passengers plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy the ride. Plus, when the rear seats are unoccupied, you can fold them flat for 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space. Available interior amenities include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone climate control. The touch-screen infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so that you can access all of your favorite entertainment and navigation apps.

Driving with confidence makes every ride more enjoyable, which is why Ford equips the 2022 Explorer with several innovative safety features. A pre-collision system scans the road for hazards, applying the brakes when necessary. With the adaptive cruise control, you can choose your preferred cruising speed, and the system will adjust it when traffic slows or speeds back up. Other features include a blind-spot information system, tire pressure monitor, and automated parking sensors.
