2022 Ford Explorer

In 2022, the Ford Explorer comes in eight trim levels: Base, XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, Limited, ST, King Ranch, and Platinum. With an athletic build and classic lines, the Ford Explorer stands out from other vehicles on the road. The Timberline features rugged exterior styling with steel underbody skid plates for enhanced ground clearance. The ST-Line, an all-new addition to the Explorer lineup in 2022, features bold styling with a black rear fascia applique and a unique EXPLORER badge on the hood.

The 2022 Ford Explorer comes equipped with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost engine, delivering 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. For ultimate power, an available 3.0-liter V-6 engine gives the Explorer an extra boost with 400 horsepower, 415 lb.-ft. of torque, and top speeds of 143 mph. The enhanced engine comes standard on ST, King Ranch, and Platinum models. With this engine, the Explorer has an impressive maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds. Both engines pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth, rapid acceleration.

The 2022 Explorer delivers the performance you expect from the iconic Ford brand. Rear-wheel drive comes standard on most trims, though four-wheel drive is available as an option for many models. The intelligent four-wheel-drive system, standard on the Timberline trim, matches road conditions to deliver the exact amount of traction you need in various conditions. It features seven drive modes and hill-descent control to optimize your driving experience.

There's no shortage of comfort and convenience features inside the 2022 Ford Explorer. The SUV fits up to seven passengers with three rows of seats. When you need maximum storage space for your gear or equipment, fold down the rear seats for 87.8 cubic feet of cargo volume. The Ford Explorer comes standard with rich cloth upholstery and an eight-way power driver's seat. Some upper trims add leather seating surfaces with heated and ventilated front-row seats and heated second-row seats. Tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control allows passengers to personalize their temperature settings.

USB ports come standard in the vehicle, and the King Ranch and Platinum trims include an AC power outlet for added convenience. An in-vehicle Wi-Fi hot spot and voice-activated navigation are available options for some trims.

The 2022 Ford Explorer comes equipped with plenty of safety features to protect you and your passengers.
