If you’re looking for the ideal family SUV, your criteria and priorities are different than most. When you visit Kearny Mesa Ford and test-drive the new Ford Explorer, you’ll find an SUV that can adapt to your and your family’s lifestyle with many family-friendly features.

Model Overview

The 2023 Ford Explorer has eight trims, from the spacious but simple base trim to the fully-loaded and surprisingly premium King Ranch and Platinum trims. Each step up the ladder brings additional features, with the entry-level model giving you the space you need and every successive trim adding more technology and amenities for your safety and enjoyment.

Interior

All trims seat seven passengers across three rows, supporting Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Bluetooth® connectivity through the Ford SYNC® infotainment system. Choosing higher model variants gives you more options, several of which are standard in higher trims. These include E-Z Entry™ sliding seats, wireless charging, a hands-free power liftgate, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a power-folding third row.

Safety

This new Ford SUV offers several standard safety features, such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, hill-descent control, and hill-start assist. Stepping up to the XLT trim gives you access to optional Co-Pilot360 Assist+® with adaptive cruise control and traffic speed sign recognition, which are standard on select upper trims. Other optional and trim-specific safety features include a standard 360-degree camera, a backup alarm that warns passersby, and reverse automatic emergency braking.

Power and Capability

Rear-wheel drive is standard on most trims. Four-wheel drive makes this enormous SUV enormously capable; it’s usually optional, though it’s standard on select trims. Aside from the hybrid (which can tow 5,000 pounds), a 5,300-pound towing capacity is standard, complementing 18.2 to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo volume.
