New Ford Explorer for Sale

New Ford Explorer for Sale in Lawrenceville, NJ

When it first launched in the early 1990s, the Ford Explorer was instrumental in popularizing the modern SUV area, helping demonstrate that SUVs didn't have to be strictly utilitarian. Now in its sixth generation, it remains a compelling choice for drivers seeking comfort, capability, and practicality in a family-friendly package. The Explorer offers roomy, well-equipped accommodations, expansive cargo capacity, and satisfying performance. It's also available in myriad configurations to suit many needs and preferences. You can find the perfect fit for your Trenton-area lifestyle at Ciocca Ford of Lawrenceville.

Performance

The Ford Explorer is one of the segment's quickest three-row SUVs, thanks to its 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine (300 horsepower, 310 pound-feet of torque) and smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. A rear-wheel-drive layout and smart suspension tuning provide impressive handling for its size. Or you can select Intelligent 4WD for confident control in all seasons.

Explorer ST, King Ranch, and Platinum trims dial up the excitement with a punchy 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 that makes 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. The ST trim turns the Explorer into a genuine performance SUV with sport-tuned suspension and available high-performance brakes. If you want higher efficiency from your midsize family mover, Limited and Platinum models are available with a 318-horsepower V-6 hybrid powertrain.

Accommodations and Utility

The Ford Explorer's cabin is modern and inviting, with cozy seats, quality materials, and attractive design details. Standard comforts and conveniences include a power-adjustable driver's seat, a power-operated liftgate, and three-zone automatic climate control. Depending on the trim level or package, you can enjoy experience-enhancing upgrades like heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, a hands-free liftgate, leatherette or leather upholstery, and Active Motion massage.

The base Ford Explorer has a second-row bench and seating for seven. Captain's chairs are standard in all higher tiers, providing a more open cabin feel and easier third-row access. However, you can still opt for the bench if you need the extra seatbelt. With all seats upright, the Explorer retains 18.2 cubic feet for your groceries or gear behind the third row. When an errand or outing requires more cargo capacity, you can fold rear seats for 47.9 cubic feet behind the second row and 87.8 cubic feet behind the first.

Infotainment and Safety Technology

The Ford Explorer comes standard with a 10.1-inch touchscreen and SYNC® 3 infotainment, providing easy access to hands-free calls and messages, your music library, streaming media, and the available Voice-Activated Navigation System. If you prefer your smartphone's familiar interface, you can integrate with the central display via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Numerous advanced driver aids are available across the Ford Explorer's roster, including convenience-enhancing technologies like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Centering, and a 360-degree camera system. However, you'll get Ford Co-Pilot360™ regardless of your selected configuration. This suite of safety technologies monitors your surroundings and augment hazard detection and avoidance. Standard driver-assistance features include:
