The Explorer's smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission makes efficient use of its power. When properly equipped, the Explorer earns 21 mpg in the city and 28 mph on the highway.


Interior
Get inside the new Ford Explorer and you'll be enamored with its attractive, tastefully styled cabin. It comes standard with cloth seats, but synthetic or genuine leather upholstery is available. The Explorer comes with three rows of seats that hold seven passengers. Optional second-row captain's chairs reduce the Explorer's capacity to six but allow for more shoulder room.
The new Ford Explorer is ideal for camping out or tailgating at ballgames because it has plenty of room to stow your supplies in its voluminous cargo hold. It has 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row of seats, 47.9 cubic feet behind the second row, and 87.8 cubic feet of storage room with all the back seats folded down.

The Explorer's available towing package includes an easily accessed receiver hitch, four- and seven-pin wiring, full support for an add-on electric trailer brake controller, and a tow-haul transmission mode that simplifies the towing process.
The new Ford Explorer Timberline trim has standard all-wheel drive, a terrain management system, skid plates, off-road shocks, and all-terrain tires that make it great for tackling off-road trails. It also has a unique Timberline grille and a Torsen limited-slip differential for enhanced traction on challenging landscapes.
