We are all adventure-seekers in our own right, so it’s only fitting that we’d seek out a vehicle that’s not only built for our
adventurous spirit, but named for it too. EXPLORER.
Whether you’re an extreme-adventure enthusiast, or the “get out there and see the world with the family” type, the 2021 Ford
Explorer is ready for almost anything. Convenient features like multiple USB ports, an LCD touchscreen, and an available
wireless charging pad1 help keep you in touch along the way. And, with seating for 7 passengers, a powerful 2.3L EcoBoost® engine,
and plenty of cargo space behind the front row seat with the 2nd- and 3rd-row seats folded down – Ford Explorer helps get you
where you want to go – with almost anything you want to take with you.
In Explorer, your adventures are ready and waiting.

Getting away doesn’t have to mean being disconnected, thanks to some convenient features right at your
fingertips. Like the 8" LCD touchscreen that responds quickly to your voice or touch prompts and makes
it easy to view available navigation map details. A simple turn of the finely calibrated rotary gear shift dial
for the 10-speed automatic transmission lets you easily switch from Park to Reverse to Drive. While an
available wireless charging pad 1 lets your phone charge cord-free, and available powerpoints located
throughout the vehicle – including 2 USB-C ports – help keep everyone’s devices charged and ready to go.
In here, we take the term “staying connected” literally.

Settle in to one of the 1st- or 2nd-row seats, and you’ll quickly see that Ford Explorer is as big on
space as it is on comfort. With room for 7 and 3 rows, passengers will appreciate the expansive
space on long trips – or on quick spins around the block. Available heated and ventilated driver
and front-passenger seats keep everyone comfortable. While a dual-wall dashboard between the
engine and passenger compartments, as well as acoustic-laminate glass for the windshield and
1st-row windows, help keep road noise to a minimum. And an available B&O™ Sound System with

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make a big difference. Like the power liftgate, standard on
XLT, that allows you to open or close the liftgate with a simple press of a button. Or the available
hands-free, foot-activated liftgate that opens or closes with a simple kick of your foot beneath
the bumper — all while keeping your key fob in your purse or pocket. An adjustable liftgate lets you
choose how high it opens. And convenient step pads just inside the rear doors make it easier to
load and unload cargo from the roof should you need to.

At first glance, you can’t help but notice the distinctive black mesh grille with chrome bars and signature LED
headlamps that make this vehicle a standout. Take a closer look inside, and appreciate the leather-wrapped steering
wheel and high-end ActiveX™ Seating Material. And, with standard features like a 10-way power driver’s seat, and a
