Are you looking forward to financing a large SUV for you and your family? Check out the Ford Explorer at Rowe Ford Sales. It has a spacious cabin that enhances comfort and practicality, thus being among the top-ranked family-suited vehicles. Even when it comes to performance, the Ford Explorer is on another level, which will satisfy most enthusiasts around Westbrook.

Interior Features

The Ford Explorer offers accommodation of seven passengers tops. The first and second rows are comfortable and will favor taller adults because of the good amount of legroom and headroom they offer. Features like full cloth headliner, front and rear cupholders, floor covering, leatherette door trim insert, headrests and armrests, valet function, and leather-appointed seats are standard. However, if you opt for any higher trim, you'll benefit from power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated seats, genuine leather upholstery, and massaging functions. Behind the third row, there is a cargo area that can haul various suitcases. The area is 18 cubic feet and increases to 47 cubic feet minus the third-row seats.

Infotainment System

The Ford Explorer brings along one of the most equipped infotainment systems you'll come across from Portland to South Portland. The system offers two infotainment touchscreens, an 8-inch as standard and a 10-inch as optional. If you opt for the prominent touchscreen, you'll be accompanied by a 12-inch digital gauge cluster. Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, satellite radio, Android Auto, and USB ports are offered on both touchscreens. The 10-inch touchscreen adds an HD radio and a 12-speaker audio system. You can consider getting the rear-seat entertainment system with two displays for a more delightful ride for your passengers. More tech features in the lineup include tri-zone automatic, push-button start, and proximity keyless entry.

Exterior

The exterior part of the Ford Explorer display features that tend to vary depending on the trim level. Lower trims boast 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic LED headlights, and a power liftgate. The mid-level trims add signature LED lighting and black roof rack rails. Unique styling elements come through in the upper trims, including 20 and 21-inch bright aluminum wheels, re-tweaked front and rear bumpers, special badging, and quad tailpipes. However, each trim provides a massive front grille and LED brake lights.

Performance

Buyers choose between two engines, including a standard four-cylinder with 300 horsepower and a torque of 310 pounds or a twin-turbo V-6 that churns out 400 horsepower and makes 415 pound-feet of torque. The base engine accelerates swiftly and doesn't disappoint in most driving scenarios, but you should check out the optional twin-turbo for more power. Both powertrains operate with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission.

Drivers who want to save on fuel should stick with the base engine since it registers 24 mpg combined for the city and highway, which is great than the optional engine, which records 22 mpg combined. Opting for the four-wheel-drive will slightly drop the ratings and result in outstanding performance.

Its responsive braking system and steering wheel handle well when cornering and maneuvering in crowded places. In Scarborough, ME, you'll get amazing performance due to its off-road capabilities, including a limited-slip rear differential, tuned shock absorbers, and good ground clearance. Its towing capacity is rated to be 5,600 pounds max.
