Ford Explorer Base For Sale 2023 Ford Explorer Review

Check the price in your area:

The base model's exterior design is handsome, despite not being very exciting, and features automatic LED low- and high-beam headlights and LED taillamps. Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.3-liter four-pot engine sends a healthy 300 hp to the rear or all four wheels via a smooth ten-speed automatic transmission. Inside, the Explorer won't blow you away with a stylish design and premium materials, but it offers lots of space in the first two rows and the driver's seat has eight-way power adjustment. Interior features include a 10.1-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and driver aids such as lane-keep alert and assist, driver alert, and rear parking sensors.
