2023 Ford Explorer

For 2023, the Ford Explorer comes in seven trim levels: base, XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, Limited, ST, King Ranch, and Platinum. Sticking with the base trim level gets you 18-inch alloy wheels, a power liftgate, and LED headlights, while the XLT trim adds heated exterior side mirrors and roof rails. Up next is the ST-Line trim, which adds 20-inch alloy wheels with a machined-finish to the SUV, as well as dark-tinted headlights and tailights, black exterior styling details, a black grille, and power-folding exterior side mirrors. If you want to off-road with your next SUV, pick the Explorer Timberline. This version of the 2023 Ford vehicle comes with off-road ready features like all-terrain tires, 18-inch black alloy wheels, trailer towing equipment, front tow hooks, unique front styling, and underbody skid plates. Meanwhile, the Limited trim level adds more touches of luxury, such as 20-inch alloy wheels and chrome exterior trim. For those who desire something sportier, opt for the ST trim level. The Explorer ST comes with sport suspension tuning, trailer towing equipment, and quad exhaust outlets. On the other hand, the King Ranch trim features power-folding exterior side mirrors with LED turn signal indicators, exterior approach lighting, and a hands-free liftgate. The top-of-the-line Platinum trim level finishes things off with 21-inch alloy wheels with a polished finish, adaptive headlights, and a satin aluminum grille.

The base engine offering of the 2023 Explorer is a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. However, if you desire greater strength, you can upgrade to the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine that produces 365 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque with the Platinum trim, or 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque with the ST trim.

If you're in the market for an SUV, you may be looking for something that can tow your trailer, camper, or boat during your next road trip. When you add the Class IV Trailer Tow package to the Ford Explorer, the SUV can tow as much as 5,600 pounds.

An 8-inch touchscreen display sits on the dash of this 2023 Ford SUV. It is compatible with a standard built-in Wi-Fi hot spot, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The Explorer can seat up to seven and offers generous space for both passengers and cargo.

Safety is key, which is why Ford designed the 2023 Explorer to come standard with Ford Co-Pilot360. Drivers can benefit from a 360-view of the vehicle with the built-in camera, making it easy to navigate the vehicle in a variety of tight situations. Other safety features like lane-keeping assist, automatic high-beam headlights, a rearview camera, adaptive cruise control, pre-collision assist, reverse brake assist, blind-spot information system, are also available with this outstanding and family-friendly SUV.
