Meet the 2021 Ford Explorer at Florence & White Ford in Smithville, TN
The Ford Explorer is a rough and ready midsize SUV that's prepared to thrive with its rugged build and powerful performance. It's not your average SUV and has a unique combination of features and characteristics you won't find anywhere else around Smithville, TN. You have a lot of room to configure the new Ford Explorer so that it comes just the way you want it, giving you the best value for money through trims and packages. If you need a three-row SUV with a lot of power and base features, give the 2021 Ford Explorer a close look.
Performance
You can choose from three different engines on the Ford Explorer. The base engine gets 300 horsepower from four cylinders and a turbocharger. That's good, but the upgrade choices are a significant step up and provide a lot of authoritative force for a midsize SUV. Both of them are turbocharged V6s. The first upgrade is rated for 365 horsepower, which is noticeably faster to accelerate than the V4 around Cookeville, TN. The third and last engine gets 400 horsepower, which is even more of a boost. They all use the same automatic transmission, which simplifies choosing the engine that fits you best.
Design Features
The Explorer's design feels muscular and powerful on the exterior appearance, and that is a good fit for the power under the hood. On the inside, what sticks out is just how much space there is. Many three-row SUVs feel cramped or crowded, and they don't leave much room for cargo space. That is not the case with the Explorer. Whether you have it filled with people or stuff, there's plenty of room for your adentures in McMinnville, TN. That holds true whether you configure the Explorer to have seven or eight seats.
Safety
The Ford Explorer comes with several active safety measures, and you can add on more through trims. Forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keep assist are the biggest stars, and there are also sensors and other warning systems onboard. The optional features include adaptive cruise control, evasive steering, read traffic signs, and some parking assistance features. The base kit is extensive and boosts the Explorer's case to be a proper family car. The more advanced features are good luxuries but not essential.
Trim Levels
There are a total of five trims for the new Ford Explorer.
The Base trim has an eight-inch touchscreen, smartphone connectivity, remote start, Wi-Fi, and quite a few other features. It's a robust base trim compared to other midsize SUVs around Murfreesboro.
The second trim, the XLT, adds on a few nice features like USB ports and front seat heating, and you can add captain's chairs to the second row to make a seven-seat configuration.
The Limited adds several luxury elements like leather upholstery, seating upgrades, sound system upgrades, and the optional active safety and sensing tech.
The ST trim has the big 400-horsepower engine and some sporty upgrades to the suspension, seating, brakes, and more.
