2018 Ford Explorer Swift Current SK

As one of the country's most popular SUV models, the Ford Explorer knows a thing or two about giving drivers what they want. This capable vehicle is hard to resist thanks to its stylish good look, premium amenities, and spacious cabin that can fit 7 adults comfortably thanks to class-leading third-row leg room. For 2018, the Ford Explorer gets even better with updated driver assistance features and plenty of advance interior comforts. The 2018 Ford Explorer comes available in 5 trims (Explorer, Explorer XLT, Explorer Limited, Explorer Sport, and Explorer Platinum), meaning there is a model for every type of personality.

Depending on your trim choice, the new Explorer features three engines for a drive that's tailored to your drive habits. The first, a 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 engine, gets a horsepower rating of 290 and offers its driver plenty of get-up-and-go. The second, an efficient 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine, gives drivers the ability to reach an EPA-estimated 27 miles per gallon of gas on the highway when equipped with FWD. Finally, a brawny 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine gets 365 horsepower @ 5,500 rpms and can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. All engines are paired with a 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.

4WD

The new Explorer comes available with an Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System. This system allows the driver to choose between 4 different terrains for a drive that is as dynamic as it is adventurous. Go for Sand Mode when at the beach or switch it to Snow Mode to help navigate wintery roads with ease.

Infotainment

Available on all Ford models is SYNC 3, an intuitive infotainment system that makes accessing your media a breeze. Featuring an 8-inch color LCD screen that displays all your phone, messaging, and music tools in one place, SYNC 3 makes it easy to stay connected with the world.
