Standard Equipment

The 2018 Ford Explorer contains many standard and available features that are designed to make your journey that much better. From the exterior, which is breathtaking all in itself with the standard dual-chrome exhaust tips, LED taillights, and multiple exterior color options, like Ruby Red, Ingot Silver, Shadow Black, and more, to the exquisite interior, which includes a standard leather-wrapped shift knob, rear view camera with washer, a second-row 60/40 split-folding seat and a third-row 50/50 split-folding seat, and much more, you'll fall in love with the Ford Explorer.

You'll also find many standard safety features, like the Belt-Minder® alert system, SOS Post-Crash Alert System™, and more, as well as a standard SYNC® system for your infotainment needs. As far as power goes, a 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V6 engine comes standard in the lower trims, with a 290-horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque offering, while you'll find the 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine, which produces up 365-horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, standard in the Sport and Platinum trim levels. The EcoBoost® also comes with the Intelligent four-wheel drive system, the Terrain Management System®, and the Hill Descent Control™ feature, which are great for those slick winter days that Connecticut is known for.

Safety Features

Even though the 2018 Ford Explorer has been designed with a strong frame, a plethora of airbags, and many different active safety features, you'll find that the driver-convenience and safety technological systems are the features you won't be able to do without. From the helpful rain-sensing wipers, hands-free foot-activated liftgate, and auto high-beam headlamps to the Blind Spot Information System® with cross traffic alert, Lane-Keeping System, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Forward Collision Warning and Brake Support, your Explorer will be looking out for you through every drop of rain and any potential collision.

Technology

SYNC® 3 is one of the amazing ways that the 2018 Ford Explorer can keep you both connected and entertained. With a smartphone-like touchscreen and the ability to react to voice commands, you'll be able to get the directions that you need, connect to your smartphone device, and play your music the way it should be, on the optional Sony® Premium Audio system that has 12-speakers and can come with the Premium 500-Watt Sound from Sony® with Clear Phase® and Live Acoustics™. You can also find an available Wi-Fi® Hotspot, multiple charging stations for your USB and 12-volt devices, and plenty of other technological advancements that will help make your drive that much better.
