2019 Explorer: Interior Features

This spacious 3-row SUV has room for the whole family. Slide inside the 2019 Explorer, and you’ll find seating for seven people. Available 2nd-row captain’s chairs reduce seating to six but offer even more comfort for those seated in the middle row. They slide forward and back, too, for 3^rd-row access.  

Summers in North Carolina can get hot, but the Explorer is prepared. With available dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control, you can keep a cool temperature in the cabin. As you relax in any weather, you’ll like the comfort of the optional multicontour front seats with Active Motion® for a soothing seat bottom massage. 

Need space for all your adventure gear? Fold the available PowerFold® 3rd-row seats and find nearly 44 cubic feet of cargo volume! From bikes to camping gear, there’s plenty to bring along for the ride.

Specifications: 3 Energetic Engines

When it comes to powering the Ford Explorer, you have three choices. The base engine, a 3.5L V6, is rated for up to 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. That’s more than enough oomph to move you forward forcefully, but if you want more power, there are options for that.

An available 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder serves up 280 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. And, from the range-topping 3.5L EcoBoost® V6, you’ll see 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. It’s obvious that turbochargers under the hood are true performance enhancers!

Need to head off the beaten path? You can take on snow, gravel, grass, or sand with this SUV’s available Terrain Management System™. Choose from four settings and take the terrain head-on.

Technology for Every Adventure

No matter where the road takes you, you’ll want to stay connected to your favorite people, music, and the road ahead of you. The 2019 Explorer makes it possible with available SYNC® 3. This system is top-of-the-line, as far as infotainment goes. It offers useful features, such as:

• Apple CarPlay™
• Android Auto™
• Ford+Alexa
• Wi-Fi® Hotspot

This Ford SUV is concerned for your security, too. It offers an available SecuriCode™ Keyless Entry Keypad. This feature lets you enter a pre-programmed 5-digit code to re-enter your vehicle and keep it secure while you’re not around.
