The new Ford Explorer delivers impressive performance and capability to take on any adventure in the Northampton area and beyond. With a range of powerful engine options, an advanced four-wheel drive system, and smart towing features, the Explorer is ready for everything from your daily commute in Westfield to a weekend camping trip in the Berkshires.
Robust and Efficient Powertrains
Under the hood, the new Ford Explorer offers a choice of three compelling engine options. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, balancing power and efficiency for cruising along I-91 through Holyoke. For even more power, the available 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engines deliver 365 or 400 horsepower and 380 or 415 pound-feet of torque respectively, making merging and passing a breeze.
Despite its impressive performance, the Explorer is also engineered for fuel efficiency. With the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine and rear-wheel drive, the Explorer achieves an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined, ideal for long road trips from Amherst across New England.
Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive for Maximum Traction
When the weather turns or the terrain gets tough around Northampton, the Explorer's available Intelligent four-wheel drive system provides enhanced traction and control. With seven selectable drive modes - including Trail, Deep Snow/Sand, and Sport - the Explorer can optimize its performance for nearly any road or trail condition.
High-Performance Explorer ST
For driving enthusiasts seeking the ultimate Explorer performance, the ST model is powered by a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 producing 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. With a top speed of 143 mph, a sport-tuned suspension, and powerful brakes, the Explorer ST brings exhilarating performance to any drive through the Pioneer Valley.
Towing with Ease
Planning to tow jet skis to the Connecticut River or a trailer to a job site? The new Explorer makes towing simple, with a maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds when properly equipped. Features like the Class III Trailer Tow Package, intelligent four-wheel drive, and available reverse brake assist help you tow confidently.
