2024 Ford Explorer Overview
The Ford Explorer, a staple in the American SUV market, is a midsize three-row SUV renowned for its versatility. The sixth generation, introduced in 2020, offers strong performance and modern tech features. With a choice between a turbocharged four-cylinder engine or a more powerful twin-turbo V6, the Explorer is designed for both daily commutes and off-road adventures, particularly with the Timberline model, which provides enhanced ground clearance and underbody protection. Its spacious interior with three-row seating easily adapts to large cargo needs, which makes it ideal for family outings and a variety of hauling needs. These are just some reasons why the 2024 Ford Explorer has remained a popular model at dealerships like the Camp Verde Ford dealer.
The 2024 Ford seats up to seven passengers and is available in eight trims: Base, XLT, Limited, ST-Line, Timberline, ST, King Ranch, and Platinum. The Base, XLT, and Limited are powered by a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. The King Ranch, Platinum, and ST are equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine developing 400 hp and 415 lb-ft. Both powerplants are teamed to a ten-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard on all models except the Timberline, which gets all-wheel drive. The other trims get optional all-wheel drive. According to the Camp Verde Ford dealership, the Explorer’s towing capacity maxes out at 5,600 pounds when properly equipped.
The automotive media praises the 2024 Ford Explorer, with Kelley Blue Book writing:
“Excelling in acceleration and towing, the 2024 Ford Explorer midsize 3-row SUV continues to wow owners who prioritize muscle, styling, and safety.”
The 2024 Ford Explorer’s turbocharged four-cylinder engine returns an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city/28 mpg highway for the rear-wheel-drive model. Opting for all-wheel drive slightly reduces these numbers to 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway. The more powerful twin-turbo V6 engine is rated at 18 mpg city/26 mpg highway with rear-wheel drive and 18 mpg city/24 mpg highway when equipped with all-wheel drive.*

The cargo area is equipped with a handy 12-volt outlet for added convenience.

The Explorer is equipped with a suite of driver aids, including lane-keeping assistance, automated emergency braking, cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning, and automatic high beams. There are a host of additional standard and available safety features, depending on the model.
