In this blog, we'll highlight some of the key features and capabilities that make the 2024 Ford Explorer a top choice for Portland drivers needing a capable yet family-friendly SUV.

Abundant Passenger and Cargo Space

One of the standout qualities of the new Explorer is the generous amount of passenger space and cargo capacity. Even with three rows of seating, there is ample legroom in both the second and third rows to accommodate adults comfortably. Getting in and out is easy, thanks to the wide door openings. The SUV also has lots of small item storage spaces throughout the cabin, so you can keep phones, keys, and other essentials close at hand while on the go.

Behind the rear seats is a cargo area of 18.2 cubic feet that can fit several suitcases or a week's worth of groceries. The second and third-row seats fold completely flat, creating up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space for especially large hauls. Families will appreciate this versatility whether running errands around town or taking longer vacations.

New Engine Options Deliver Improved Performance

Under the hood, the newest Explorer has two turbocharged EcoBoost engine options that enhance performance over previous models. The standard engine is a 2.3L four-cylinder EcoBoost unit that generates 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This engine delivers plenty of power while still providing good fuel economy.

For drivers wanting even more performance, there is an available 3.0L V6 EcoBoost engine putting out an impressive 365 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. This engine gives the Explorer robust acceleration and passing power while still being efficient thanks to the turbocharging and direct injection technology. With these improved powertrains, the Explorer is more responsive and capable than ever.

Loaded with Convenience and Technology Features

Ford packed this new Explorer with the latest high-tech convenience and entertainment features families want. The standard Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist technologies provides added safety and awareness on the road. There is also a 12.3" digital instrument cluster and 10.1" touchscreen display for navigation, music, and managing vehicle settings.

To keep occupants connected and entertained, the Explorer offers Wi-Fi capability, wireless charging, and up to four USB ports. Hands-free liftgate operation makes loading cargo simple even with arms full. And power-folding third row seats can be lowered via controls up front to open up more cargo space at the push of a button. The Explorer simplifies life’s daily tasks.

Modern, Eye-Catching Exterior Styling

Besides the upgraded performance and technology, Ford gave the Explorer a modernized exterior look. The proportions are athletic and modern, with sculpted lines and curves that give it a premium appearance. Full LED lighting and 20-inch alloy wheels add to the contemporary styling. There are also seven different trim levels available so that customers can choose the perfect amount of chrome accents, color contrasts, and other exterior flair.

Despite the bold curb appeal, the Explorer maintains outstanding functionality. There is ample ground clearance for moderate off-roading, and the available all-wheel drive improves traction and control. Standard roof rails allow owners to add more cargo space with roof attachments. The Explorer looks great while still delivering on practicality.
