Many things get better with age, and the Ford Explorer is no exception. Often credited as starting the SUV craze in the U.S., Ford has spent a good deal of time since the Explorer’s introduction updating its interior and exterior and the 2017 model now sports upgraded safety features as well as increased fuel efficiency.
Here are just a few of the features on the new 2017 Ford Explorer in Richwood, now available at Yaklin Ford:
- More leg room and cargo room to make the ride more comfortable
- Three rows of seats for up to 7 passengers
- 360-degree front-facing camera for increased maneuverability
- 20” wheels
- 4G LTE connectivity
- Towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs.
What makes the 2017 Explorer even better is its various engine options. Drivers can choose between the standard 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V6 or upgrade to the 2.3-liter EcoBoost® or the 3.5-liter EcoBoost®. The EcoBoost engines deliver between 280 and 365 horsepower with torque ranging between 310 to 350 lbs.-ft.
As far as SUVs go, the 2017 Ford Explorer takes convenience very seriously. It’s hands-free, foot-activated lift-gate makes it easy to load the vehicle even with your hands full and in-cabin 4G LTE means you can stay connected even when you’re on the road.
