Your Guide to the 2023 Ford Explorer

Engines and Versatility

With the 2023 edition, you have three powerful engines to choose from, with the base option being a 2.3-liter I-4 that produces 300 horsepower. If you need more strength, there’s also a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 that increases horsepower to 400, as well as a fuel-efficient 3.3-liter hybrid V6 that generates 318 horses.

The vehicle’s Intelligent 4WD system, an available feature, takes all the guesswork out of off-road journeys by automatically adjusting traction to terrain changes. A responsive terrain management system is also offered, which increases the Explorer’s versatility by letting you choose between as many as seven different driving modes for optimized engine output and performance.

A Comfortable Cabin

Inside the vehicle’s cabin, the available leather-trimmed seats offer a heating function that you and your passengers will love on chilly days, though there are also other materials, such as ActiveX, if you’d something that’s sportier and easier to clean.

Keeping everyone comfy is simple with the tri-zone climate control, which allows you to set three separate temperature settings to accommodate different preferences, and for taking in views of the stars on clear nights, there’s also an available twin-panel moonroof.

Advanced Technology

Putting entertainment, vehicle setting controls, and turn-by-turn navigation software at your fingertips, the SYNC 3 infotainment system offers both a 10.1-inch touchscreen and voice recognition, so you can choose how you’d like to control it.

When venturing off-road or maneuvering your way through parking lots, the 360-degree camera provides detailed views of your surroundings in full color, and if you’d like to charge smartphones quickly without the hassle of using cables, you’ll love the wireless charging pad.

Intelligent Safety Systems

Whether you’re driving off-road, cruising highways, or parking the vehicle, this edition’s safety and driver-assist features will be more than appreciated. Take Pre-Collision Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking, for example, two features that work together to either warn you whenever you’re moving toward vehicles or objects too quickly or bring the vehicle to a stop if necessary to avoid a collision.

There are also the Automatic High-Beam Headlamps, which automatically toggle between high and low beams, depending on exterior lighting conditions. Active Park Assist 2.0 is capable of directing the vehicle into parking spaces by handling acceleration, steering, and braking after you’ve selected an appropriate area to park.

With impressive off-road capabilities, muscular engine performance, and all the tech and comfort amenities needed to enhance road trips, the 2023 Explorer has it all. Come experience it for yourself by reaching out to us today at Cloninger Ford of Salisbury to arrange for a test drive, and we’ll see you when you get here!
