Three cheers for our esteemed American automaker! It's seemingly poised to have a massive hit on its hands in its fully redesigned full-size SUV, the 2016 Ford Explorer.

And if you aren't quite buying what we at Richmond Ford West are selling, we invite you to view the video review below. Autotrader pundit, Jabari Jones, is here to provide you with five great reasons one should consider going with the Explorer:

The biggest, burliest engine of the bunch is a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, available with the top-of-the-line Sport and Platinum trims. And true to form, it does not disappoint.

Kicking out a colossal 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, this six-banger is an absolute beast. This fact is also reflected in its 0-to-60 mph time, which clocks in at a very quick 6.3 seconds.

If you'd like to meet this muscle-bound machine "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Glen Allen, VA location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the Explorer, or any other Ford model that's piqued your interest.
