Exterior - Ford Explorer

All Explorer models available at our Ford dealership serving Orlando Mount Dora Clermont Sanford have a 119.1-inch wheelbase and measure 198.8 inches in overall length, which is about 16.6 feet. The minimum ground clearance is 8.2 inches on most models but higher on the Timberline. Without roof rails, the standard Explorer stands 70.2 inches tall, and without mirrors, it is 78.9 inches wide. The base model features 18-inch painted aluminum wheels and a power liftgate. Splash guards are optional. The XLT model has fancier five-spoke wheels and offers a couple of special 20-inch options. The Timberline is the most aesthetically distinct trim as it boasts a number of exclusive exterior styling cues.

Mechanical - 2021 Ford Explorer

Rear-wheel drive is stand. All-wheel drive is optional across the lineup. This is a change from the inaugural model since the top trim included all-wheel drive in its package and could not be ordered with rear-wheel drive. It is also worth noting that the 2021 Ford Explorer near Orlando is available with a hybrid powertrain. Beyond an engine block heater, there are not many mechanical options for the standard Explorer. The Timberline, of course, features a wide range of exclusive mechanical upgrades. The base 2021 Ford Explorer near Orlando has a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine under the hood—300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque—and Ford pairs it with a sophisticated 10-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels in the default configuration. As mentioned in the Mechanical section, all-wheel drive is optional. Starting with the ST model, a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine becomes standard, and it makes 400 hp and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. A Class III Trailer Tow package is available and included standard with certain trim levels. With that equipment, your Explorer can tow between 5,300 and 5,600 pounds.
