Why the Ford Explorer Continues to Be One of America's Favorite SUVs

Few SUVs have earned the reputation of the Ford Explorer.

For decades, it has been one of the best-selling family SUVs in America because it offers something many competitors struggle to match—a balance of passenger space, comfort, technology, and everyday practicality.

Unlike many smaller crossovers, the Explorer provides genuine three-row seating while remaining easy to drive, easy to park, and comfortable enough for long-distance travel.

For buyers comparing the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Chevrolet Traverse, Jeep Grand Cherokee, or Nissan Pathfinder, the Explorer continues to stand out as one of the most well-rounded SUVs in its class.

2.3L EcoBoost®: Turbocharged Performance with Everyday Efficiency

Under the hood is Ford's proven 2.3L EcoBoost® turbocharged four-cylinder engine, paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. This combination delivers responsive acceleration, confident highway passing power, and impressive fuel economy for a three-row SUV.

Whether you're commuting through Flagstaff, heading to Phoenix, or taking the family on vacation, the EcoBoost engine provides an excellent balance of performance and efficiency.

For many buyers, it's the ideal powertrain for everyday driving.

Driver Connect Package: The Features Everyone Wants

• Forward Sensing System
• Comfort Package

These upgrades make the Explorer feel significantly more upscale while improving everyday convenience for both drivers and passengers.

Compared with earlier Ford infotainment systems, SYNC 3 delivers:

Even years later, SYNC 3 remains one of the most user-friendly infotainment systems available in its class.
