Updated Features of 2024 Ford Explorer
While the Explorer awaits a refresh for 2025, the 2024 model carries over the previous year's styling. However, the hybrid powertrain has been discontinued, though it remains on the police interceptor. An 8-inch touchscreen is standard, featuring Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and WiFi hotspot. For the optional 10.1-inch vertical screen, upgrade to a higher trim. Every Explorer also offers voice navigation and rear entertainment, except the base model. A 12-speaker B&O audio system comes standard on most trims.Base, XLT, and Limited Explorers use a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder producing 300 horsepower. Our Timberline tester hit 60 mph in 6.0 seconds with this engine. Opt for the higher-end King Ranch, Platinum, or ST, and you'll get a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 with 400 horses. Rear-wheel drive is standard, but opt for all-wheel drive as well for improved traction. A 10-speed automatic transmission pairs on all models.
What Makes It Unique, Why Shop New Ford
The Explorer's diverse engine and drivetrain combos yield a wide range of EPA estimates. Rear-drive models with the four-cylinder rate up to 21/28 mpg city/highway, dropping 1 mpg with all-wheel drive. The twin-turbo V6 checks in at up to 18/26 mpg with rear-drive or 18/24 mpg with all-wheel drive. On our test route, the ST achieved 25 mpg, 1 better than rated. A four-cylinder all-wheel drive model returned a stellar 28 mpg. Furthermore, the Explorer can handle payloads up to 5,600 pounds when properly equipped.Its ability to efficiently shuttle seven while towing heavy loads is what makes the Explorer stand out.
