Shopping for yourself can be hard enough, but when you’re shopping for your family, it can be even more difficult to find something that makes everyone happy. The Ford Explorer is a versatile SUV that has room for your whole crew. It can also handle towing thanks to its powerful line-up of engines, and it offers stunning new tech like BlueCruise. If you want to test this spacious SUV out, then you can visit us today at Watsonville Ford.
You might be driving your next SUV for years, so it’s important to pick a model that gives you the power you need. The new Explorer gives you two engines to choose from, with the first being a strong 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 Engine that can reliably churn out up to 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft. of torque. This will be more than enough power for most drivers, but if you’re looking for an upgrade, there’s also the available 3.0 EcoBoost V6 Engine. It gives you up to 400 horsepower and up to 415 lb-ft. of torque, so you’ll have instant access to considerable strength. This model also comes with the standard Class III Tow Package, so you’ll be able to reliably move up to 5,000 lbs. If you live close to Hollister, Watsonville, or Prunedale, then you can stop by Watsonville Ford to browse our exciting selection of new Ford models. We also have a used inventory for you to explore, in case you want to see what else is out there. In the meantime, you can use our site to value your trade or estimate your future payments.
When you have a big family, you need an SUV that gives everyone room to stretch out. The Explorer can fit up to seven, but if you need more space for cargo, you can fold down the rear seats so that you have access to up to 85 cubic feet of space. You’ll also be comfortable, as this model offers some pretty stunning available features. You can equip Ambient Lighting so that you can add your own personal touch to your cabin, and you’ll be able to choose between two available Bang and Olufsen Speaker Packages. The first includes ten speakers, while the second comes with a whopping fourteen. Both of these systems come with a subwoofer, and you can choose to go the extra mile by equipping the available Sound Stage. This gives you a soundbar that will take every playlist to the next level.
For those who love to go off-roading, there’s the Explorer Tremor trim. This equips you with all of the essentials, like a Torsen Limited-slip Rear Axle, an Off-Road Tuned Suspension with Increased Ride Height, and more. It also comes with Underbody Protection, which includes both Rear and Front Deflector Plates. While this SUV is capable, it’s also a safe choice for your family thanks to Ford Co-Pilot360. This gives you access to features like the Lane-Keeping System, the Blind Spot Information System, and Adaptive Cruise Control. With features like these, you’ll have an extra layer of protection on the road.
