2024 Ford Explorer Is a Smart Pick for Families

Many drivers don’t realize it, but the Ford Explorer pretty much invented the midsize SUV segment when it debuted in 1990. Ever since it hit the market, the SUV has shuttled countless families from one destination to another, something the 2024 Ford Explorer is more than ready to do. To see how family-oriented the SUV is, read on or stop by John Kennedy Ford of Conshohocken. 


Engine Options 

When you schedule a test drive in a Ford Explorer at our Conshohocken, PA Ford dealership, you’ll have two mighty engines to choose from. The SUV’s base engine is a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder powerplant that produces a stout 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. A twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine powers the SUV’s higher trims, and it delivers 415 lb-ft of torque and 400 horsepower. 

SUVs with the base engine can tow up to 5,300 lbs while vehicles with the V6 powerplant can tow as much as 5,600 lbs with the appropriate equipment. Every Ford Explorer relies on a 10-speed automatic transmission for gear shifts. Rear-wheel drive is standard on all trims except for the Timberline model, with all-wheel drive offered as an option — the Timberline trim is only available with all-wheel drive. 

Cabin Space 

New Ford SUVs are well-known for being roomy, and that’s certainly what the Ford Explorer is – spacious. The SUV can accommodate six or seven passengers depending on the configuration of its middle row. Travelers in the front row have 43 inches of legroom while passengers in the second and third rows have 39 and 32.2 inches, respectively. 

Behind the third row, you’ll have 18.2 cubic feet to stow gear, groceries, or both. Folding the third row frees up 47.9 cubic feet of cargo room. If you fold both the second and third rows, the SUV’s cargo capacity skyrockets to 87.8 cubic feet. 

Standard Equipment 

Features are plentiful for the Ford Explorer, which increases the SUV’s enduring value proposition. Here are some of the SUV’s amenities: 

  • Tri-zone automatic climate control 
  • Power liftgate 
  • Eight-inch infotainment touchscreen 
  • Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration 
  • Wi-Fi hotspot 
  • Forward collision warning and intervention system 
  • Lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist 
  • Driver attention monitor
