How Does the 2023 Ford Explorer Perform?

If you’ve driven a Ford Explorer before, you know how powerful and capable it is. That still rings true today, as the 2023 Explorer is equipped to handle any surface in any condition. Starting underneath the hood, the Ford Explorer has three different engines to choose from. They are:

  • 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4: produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
  • 3.0L EcoBoost® twin-turbocharged V6: produces 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
  • 3.3L Hybrid V6: produces 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The Ford Explorer also gives you ample opportunity to take heavy cargo with you, as it has a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,600 pounds when properly equipped. For a smooth ride every time, you’ll love the standard Trailer Sway Control feature, which keeps your trailer from not tracking behind your SUV.

When you pair those features with the standard Terrain Management System™ with up to seven Selectable Drive Modes, there’s no surface the Explorer can’t handle!

Is the Interior of the 2023 Ford Explorer Comfortable?

When you think of the Ford Explorer, your mind may immediately go to its performance features. However, another staple of the 2023 model is how spacious and comfortable it is. The cabin fits up to seven people at one time, especially when you add the available multicontour seats with Active Motion®.

What’s more, the optional PowerFold® third-row seats will add another layer of comfort and easily fold down to create extra cargo space. Speaking of cargo space, the 2023 Explorer has plenty of it. If the second- and third-row seats are folded down, you can get up to 87.8 cubic feet of space. Behind the second row, you’ll have 47.9 cubic feet to work with, and 18.2 cubic feet behind the third row.

There is also a multitude of space for even the most finicky passengers to stretch out. The front row of the Explorer offers 40.7 inches of headroom, 43 inches of legroom, 59.2 inches of hip room, and 61.8 inches of shoulder room. The second row provides 40.5 inches of headroom, 39 inches of legroom, 59.1 inches of hip room, and 61.9 inches of shoulder room.

Finally, in the third row, passengers will be given 38.9 inches of headroom, 32.2 inches of legroom, 40.9 inches of hip room, and 54.6 inches of shoulder room.

Is the 2023 Ford Explorer Technologically Advanced?

Yes! You’ll have lots of different technologies at your fingertips. The standard 10.1-inch LCD capacitive portrait touchscreen will display apps from your smartphone as well as in-vehicle technologies, maps, and much more! You can even set the mood inside the Explorer with the available multi-color ambient lighting.

When it comes to safety, the Explorer is loaded with all types of advanced features as part of the Ford Co-Pilot360™ suite. Some of these systems include: Auto High-Beam Headlamps, BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist® with Automatic Emergency Braking, and more.
