New Ford Explorer for Sale

New Ford Explorer for Sale in Flemington, NJ

The Ford Explorer was one of the first vehicles of the modern SUV era-when utility vehicles started to become more practical and comfortable for on-road and family use. Today, Ford's longest continuously running SUV nameplate remains an excellent pick for drivers seeking versatility and capability in a spacious feature-filled package. The Explorer offers roomy three-row accommodations, a capacious cargo area, potent powertrain options, and an abundance of appealing amenities. And drivers from Princeton to Pipersville can find one suited to their family's lifestyle here at Ciocca Ford of Flemington.

Performance

While the Explorer is on the larger end of Ford's SUV lineup, it has no issues getting up to speed for quick and confident highway merges. It's one of the quickest options in the midsize SUV class thanks to its 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that makes 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. A skillfully tuned 10-speed automatic transmission keeps power in the ideal rev range for optimal efficiency and responsiveness. And a standard rear-wheel-driven layout delivers athletic handling and strong towing performance (5,600 pounds when properly equipped). Ford's Intelligent 4WD system is standard on Timberline and available for all other tiers for improved surefootedness for wintry New Jersey conditions.

If you're seeking an SUV with even more under-hood motivation to power your family's drives, Explorer ST, King Ranch, and Platinum models have you covered, equipping a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 with 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Or if efficiency is at the top of your priorities list, Limited and Platinum models are available with a 318-horsepower hybrid V-6 that gets an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined.

Accommodations and Utility

The Ford Explorer's cabin is attractive and inviting, providing a pleasing place to pass the miles with ample headroom and legroom, modern design details, quality materials, and intuitive controls. Base models offer standard seating for seven. However, if you don't require the additional seatbelt, you can open the interior even more with second-row captain's chairs, which come standard on all other tiers (7-passenger seating remains an option).

The Explore comes standard with convenient amenities like tri-zone automatic climate control, a power driver's seat, and a power liftgate. You can further enhance your cabin experience by moving up the trim ladder, where you'll find niceties like heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, premium leatherette and leather upholstery, a hands-free liftgate, and even front-seat Active Motion massage.

With all seats occupied, the Explorer retains 18.2 cubic feet to carry your luggage or groceries. When you need to prioritize cargo space for an errand or adventure, you can fold the third and second rows for access to 47.9 and 87.8 cubic feet, respectively.

Connectivity and Safety Technology

Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment makes it keep in touch with contacts, listen to your favorite music or podcasts, find the perfect route, and more. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto seamlessly integrate your smartphone for convenient access to features like hands-free calling, streaming media, Google or Apple Maps, calendars, or your phone's assistant. The available 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system lets you enjoy your playlist with immersive fidelity.

Ford knows your family's safety isn't just an option. That's why it equipped every Explorer with Co-Pilot360™, a suite of advanced driver aids that keep watch of your surroundings, alert you to potential hazards, and help mitigate accidents. There's no substitute for attentive driving, but you'll enjoy peace of mind knowing you have the support of features like:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pre-Collision Assist
• BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
• Auto High-Beam Headlamps
• Lane-Keeping System (Lane-Keeping Assist, Lane-Keeping Alert, and Driver Alert)
