You don’t need a huge truck if you won’t be hauling and towing massive payloads regularly. If light-duty pickup trucks aren’t quite tough enough for you, but you don’t need the towing capabilities of a full-size truck, the mid-size 2021 Ford Ranger may be right for you.

4 Amazing Features of the 2021 Ford Explorer

1. Fuel Economy

You don’t have time to fill up your SUV every week. You have PTA meetings, work, grocery shopping, and date night. If you opt for the 2021 Explorer, you won’t need to fill your vehicle up weekly. If you opt for a rear-wheel-drive Explorer, you can get up to 28 miles per gallon on the highway and 27 miles per gallon in the city.

If you go for an all-wheel-drive Explorer, you can get up to 27 miles per gallon when driving down the highway and 20 miles per gallon when driving in the city. Due to its 17.9-gallon tank, you can easily drive over 400 miles without filling up your fuel tank regardless of the drivetrain you choose.

2. Seating Capacity and Comfort

The seating capacity and comfort of the 2021 Explorer are also outstanding. You can seat six or seven people depending on your trim level of choice. However, what really sets this mid-size SUV apart is you can seat six or seven people comfortably.

You can cram six people into other mid-size SUVs, but the third row is not spacious. There simply isn’t enough personal space in the third row for adults or adolescents to sit comfortably. On the other hand, there is more than enough legroom, hip room, shoulder room, and headroom in the third row of the 2021 Explorer for even adults to sit comfortably in any seat in this vehicle.

3. Cargo Space

The 2021 Explorer’s cargo space is another amazing feature. You can fit 18.2 cubic feet of belongings in your vehicle if all three rows are up. If you fold down the third row of seats, you can store up to 47.9 cubic feet of belongings. Most impressively, you can store up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo if both rear rows of seats are folded down.

4. Connectivity and Navigation

You are also sure to love the connectivity provided by the 2021 Explorer. It is compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can stay connected on the go regardless of the type of smartphone you have. Additionally, it acts as a Wi-Fi hotspot so your passengers can stay connected without burning through all of their data.

Moreover, each 2021 Explorer comes with voice-activated navigation as a standard feature. You don’t have to invest in a premium trim for a safe driving experience and simple navigation.

The 2021 Explorer is a great mid-size SUV because it is fuel-efficient, comfortable, and full of space for both passengers and cargo. To experience the luxurious interior and driving experience for yourself, contact us today at Cloninger Ford of Salibury on West Service Road to schedule a test drive.
