What do we here at Harold Zeigler Ford dig about the 2017 Explorer, our beloved American brand's full-size crossover?
Well, to be honest ... practically everything. In many ways, we feel it embodies exactly what a big-bodied SUV ought to be.
And, lest you wonder what we mean, we encourage you to check the clip below. Team up with our friends over at MotorWeek, as they take the Explorer out for a test run:
If high-flying performance is the priority, then Explorer's top-of-the-line engine, a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6, is sure to satisfy.
Available exclusively on the Sport and Platinum trims, this turbo-V6 pairs with a six-speed automatic transmission to produce a prodigious 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. We also enjoy how it's equipped with standard all-wheel drive.
And if all that, for whatever reason, fails to get your emotional pistons churning, consider this: the turbo-V6 Explorer is capable of doing the 0-to-60 mph dash in just 6.3 seconds -- a clocking that makes it one of the zippiest in its class.
For more information about this superstar SUV, or to take the wheel of one, we invite you to swing by our Elkhart, IN showroom. Our seasoned staff is available to address your every question regarding the Explorer, or any other Ford model throughout the current catalog.
