Throw out your old SUV thinking. The 2011 Explorer is taking
a smart new path to adventure. It’s more fuel efficient
compared to last year’s V6. It’s bringing you
available inflatable rear safety belts. And its available
MyFord TouchTM driver-connect technology fully integrates
your digital world with your vehicle. It’s Explorer.
Reinvented. With its new 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 engine, Explorer achieves
11.9L/100 km (24 mpg) city and 8.0L/100 km (35 mpg) highway
with front-wheel drive. Twin independent variable camshaft
timing (Ti-VCT) contributes to fuel efficiency or power output
as conditions demand. This 290-horsepower engine also helps
Explorer tow up to 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs.) when properly equipped.
You’ll have the utmost confidence while towing thanks
to standard trailer sway control (TSC) and new hill start
assist. When trailer sway is detected, TSC automatically reduces
engine speed and selectively applies the brakes to help you
maintain control of both the vehicle and the trailer.2 Hill
start assist is particularly useful on boat launch ramps,
since it helps prevent you from rolling downhill when you
take your foot off the brake. Whether heading up an incline
in Drive or in Reverse, you’re covered.
World-changing
safety innovations – because we know what matters
most.
Ford has always been a leader when it comes to safety.
The 2011 Explorer continues that heritage with new inflatable
rear safety belts.1 Optional for the 2nd-row outboard seating
positions on XLT and Limited, the belts are compatible with
childsafety seats. They are designed to deploy in less than
a blink of an eye in the event of a frontal or side collision,
distributing pressure across more of the occupant’s
torso than a traditional belt, which helps reduce the risk
of injury.
The more, the merrier.
It’s a common theme among SUV enthusiasts. So the
reinvented Explorer gives you standard seating for 7, along
with plenty of flexibility to transport all sorts of gear.
Up front, a commanding position and excellent visibility
inspire confidence. Available 10-way power, heated and cooled
front seats provide year-round comfort. An available dual-panel
moonroof floods the space with natural light and fresh air.
Best of all, the graceful design includes new soft-touch
surfaces, sustainable materials and premium trim, all crafted
to world-class standards for fit and finish.
Flexibility,
Comfort and Style
Supple leather trim sets a sophisticated tone. Cozy heated
1st-row seats fit like a glove, while Dual-zone Electronic
Automatic Temperature Control ensures the climate is always
just right. Choose from these available amenities and more
to help ensure that all on board arrive relaxed and refreshed
from every drive.
