Ford Explorer Interior

Smart Safety for Peace of Mind

The Explorer comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™, an advanced suite of driver-assist technologies that increase your awareness of the road.¹ Some of the features you can expect standard include:

• Auto High-Beam Headlamps
• Rear View Camera
• Lane-Keeping System

Another feature that drivers love is the BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, which can detect vehicles in your blind spots for easier lane changes during rush hour on the freeway.¹

Active Park Assist 2.0 helps you navigate around other vehicles once you get where you’re going, too. This available feature makes it so that parallel parking in that tight space is as easy as pressing a button. Once you’ve found the parking space you want, press the Active Park Assist button and watch in awe as your Explorer parks perfectly. No more circling the block to avoid parallel parking!¹

Tech Like You’ve Never Seen Before

Technology helps keep you safer, but it should also help you have some fun, too. That’s why the 2022 Ford Explorer comes jam-packed with standard and available connectivity and infotainment features.

Connect to your smartphone from behind the wheel by using Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™ connectivity, which integrates your apps into the car’s infotainment system. This means you can take a hands-free phone call, open up your favorite podcast, and more all without picking up your phone.

Your tunes will also sound better than ever with the available B&O® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen®, a 980-watt, 14-speaker system.

Of course, nothing beats the relaxation you’ll get with the available Active Motion® multi-contour seats. The driver and front passenger can sink into five different massage themes that target different regions of the back. With such a luxurious interior, you may never want to get where you’re going!

Power Behind the Wheel

The Explorer offers two gas-powered engines and a hybrid option, as well, each of which boasts impressive capabilities:

With the Explorer, you can tow a maximum of 5,600 pounds when properly equipped.⁴

Stay in control of all this power thanks to improved handling features, like the Intelligent 4-wheel drive (4WD) with Terrain Management System™. This comes with seven selectable drive modes that tailor your vehicle’s performance to the conditions ahead:⁵

• Normal
• Trail
• Deep Snow/Sand
• Slippery
• Sport
• Tow/Haul
• Eco

That’s not all for traction and stability. In fact, the Explorer offers standard trailer sway control with available Hill Descent Control™, both of which keep your car and trailer in control.
