Large yet stylish and brawny yet brilliant, the new Explorer checks off many of the boxes that car shoppers looking for an SUV fit have on their list. Want to see if it's right for you? Get some specifics on the SUV below!

Safety

The protective elements of a vehicle are among the first that many car shoppers look at, and the 2019 Ford Explorer will impress these car shoppers. It scored exceptionally well in the front, side, and overall crash test ratings that the NHTSA conducted as airbags and force-absorbing design aid in the event of a crash. But, as it is a 2019 model, the Ford Explorer's best safety features are those that may prevent an accident from occurring. Its package of driver-assist features includes everything from auto high beams for the headlights to a rear parking sonar system for when you're backing in to or out of a spot. Other advanced driver-assist systems include:

• Adaptive cruise control
• Rain-sensing wipers
• Lane-keeping assist system
• Front 180-degree camera
• Blind spot monitoring

Cabin Room

Having space in your vehicle's cabin is one of the main reasons so many choose a three-row SUV, and it's a large part of the Ford Explorer's popularity. The three rows of seats will hold seven passengers comfortably, and there are21 cubic feet behind the last row, but power-folding seats for the back two rows making expanding the cargo area to 81.7 cubic feet an absolute breeze. It's also easy to pick and choose which seats you want to fold down, so, for instance, you could fold down only those on the right side of the cabin if you have long items you need to move. Plus, features like the hands-free open tailgate help parents when their hands are full!

Performance

We know plenty of Chester drivers worry about their large SUV feeling sluggish, but the Ford Explorer avoids this with the various powerful engines it offers. It has two V6 engines and one four-cylinder option, and the most powerful of them has 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque so that acceleration is quick and poor conditions are no worry to you. That engine also provides drivers the ability to tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is enough for many boats, campers, and more!

Other Features in the 2019 Ford Explorer

Beyond safety, design, and performance, it's the many features and technologies of the 2019 Ford Explorer that make it so amazing. Some of these are simple amenities, like a ton of cupholders and charging ports including a 110-volt outlet, while others are more high-tech, like the touchscreen in the center dash that allows for control over everything from heated seats to the navigation system. Prefer natural light and air in your cabin? The twin-panel moonroof provides both so that rides in the Explorer are relaxing instead of a chore you dread.
