New Ford Explorer for Sale near Hillsborough
The Ford Explorer is among the most popular midsize SUVs, having helped pioneer the modern segment in the early 90s. Today, it remains an excellent option for its comfortable accommodations, appealing amenities, and abundant practicality. The Explorer offers roomy seating for up to seven passengers, an expansive cargo area, and an extensive features list - including standard Co-Pilot360™ driver aids. It's also enjoyable to drive, with potent performance options and confident handling in various conditions. Hillsborough shoppers can find the latest Ford Explorer models for sale or lease here at Ciocca Ford of Flemington.
Performance
While three-row SUVs aren't typically chosen for their sportiness, the Ford Explorer exhibits impressive athleticism for the segment, thanks to its rear-wheel drivetrain, balanced handling, and well-tuned suspension. A 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine (300 horsepower, 310 pound-feet of torque) and a smooth-shifting 10-speed transmission give the Explorer surprising quickness, reaching 60 mph in ~6.0 seconds. Hillsborough shoppers seeking more surefooted all-season traction can add available Intelligent 4WD to any model.
Want something even more potent to propel your US-206 commute? Explorer ST, King Ranch, and Platinum models utilize a 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V-6 with 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. The ST trim delivers a genuine performance SUV experience with sport-tuned suspension, quad exhaust, paddle shifters, and available high-performance brakes.
Do your adventures sometimes take you beyond the asphalt? The Ford Explorer Timberline provides trail-ready capability with a 3.58 TORSEN® limited-slip differential, a Terrain Management System™, off-road suspension tuning, and all-terrain tires.
Interior
The Ford Explorer's spacious and inviting cabin is a pleasant place to spend time, with comfortable seven-passenger seating, ample head and leg room, and a refined, modern design. If your Hillsborough family doesn't need the extra seatbelt, you can get second-row captain's chairs for a more open cabin feel and easier rear-seat accessibility. Fold the third row expands the cargo area from 18.2 to 47.9 cubic feet. When an errand or outing requires more capacity, you can fold all rear seats for 87.8 cubic feet.
The Ford Explorer offers numerous comfort/convenience enhancements, including standard features like a power driver seat, three-zone automatic climate control, and a power liftgate. Available amenities include heated/ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, leather upholstery, and Active Motion massage.
Technology
The 2024 Ford Explorer's SYNC® 3 infotainment system provides seamless access to hands-free calls, your favorite music, or turn-by-turn directions via available Voice-Activated Navigation. If you prefer your smartphone's familiar interface, you can integrate it with the standard 10.1-inch touchscreen via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Since your family's safety isn't optional, the Ford Explorer comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™ safety technologies, including:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pre-Collision Assist
