Are you on the hunt for an SUV that seats the whole family and has a bit of an adventurous streak? Richmond Ford West is happy to introduce our friends and neighbors from Glen Allen, Ashland, and Rockville, Virginia, to the 2022 Ford Explorer.
The Ford Explorer is an impressive SUV ready to take on whatever the day throws at it. You can head out on the highway or hit the off-roading trails for a day or two of adventure.
A Fun and Exciting Drive
The 2022 Ford Explorer has no shortage of power under its hood. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine delivers 300 horsepower, while the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 offers 400 horsepower. The Explorer even offers an available hybrid engine that keeps up with both gas engines.
The vehicle also has a 10-speed automatic transmission, which offers smoother shifting for a better-feeling drive.
Are you someone who likes to bring along some gear or a small boat on your next adventure? The Explorer can handle it with a maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds when properly equipped.
To help you navigate off-roading trails, the available Intelligent 4WD (4-wheel drive) system comes with a Terrain Management Systemâ„¢ that adjusts your driving experience to the terrain.
Some drive modes include:
- Trail
- Deep Snow/Sand
- Tow/Haul
- Eco
Furthermore, standard side-wind stabilization helps counteract intense wind conditions so that you can focus on driving and not fighting the wind.
Ford Explorer Interior
The interior of the Explorer is made for comfort. With a spacious interior, everyone can relax while you drive. There's room for seven people (depending on seating configuration), plus a maximum cargo space of 87.8 cubic feet.
The Explorer also gives you the option for true luxury with the available multi-contour front seats with Active Motion®. These seats give you five massage themes that help prevent fatigue on long drives.
An infotainment system is standard, too, with an available 10.1-inch touchscreen. Through this system, you can:
- Stream music.
- Call people hands-free.
- Get step-by-step navigation.
Exterior of the 2022 Ford Explorer
The 2022 Explorer is a stylish SUV that combines a classic SUV look with an athletic style. The muscle-car-inspired grille and sleek lines create a striking combination.
You can make the Explorer truly feel like yours with many exterior colors to choose from, such as:
- Agate Black
- Rapid Red
- Forged Green
- Atlas Blue
Automatic LED low-beam headlamps are standard on the Explorer. These headlamps turn on and off automatically, depending on ambient lighting conditions. Combine this with the standard Auto High Beams, and the Explorer is here to help you see clearly.
Want to load up the SUV for the next trip, but don't want to set anything on the ground? You can opt for the available hands-free, foot-activated liftgate. With a swipe of your foot under the bumper, the Explorer opens the liftgate for you so that you can load up with ease.
