2022 Ford Explorer Preview
2022 Ford Explorer Preview
Have you been looking for a versatile new SUV? True versatility in an SUV means you will not only have a powerful and spacious driving experience but will also be provided with excellent efficiency. This is an area where the Ford Explorer excels for Waldorf, Clinton, Accokeek, and Upper Marlboro, MD, drivers.
Could the Ford SUV be an appealing option for you? Take the first step in finding out with this 2022 Ford Explorer preview from our team at Waldorf Ford.1
An Efficient and Effective Engine
While not yet on the market, our team expects the 2022 model to feature an engine similar to the one found on the 2021 Explorer. Therefore, you’ll likely find an engine like the 2.3L EcoBoost® engine that pumps out a balanced, but forceful 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. When this engine is properly equipped, it has 5,300 pounds of towing capacity. This engine will also likely be mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission that will optimize and distribute this force.
The result of this powertrain? A ride that is not only peppy with plenty of power but also one that performs with efficiency and saves you money at the pumps, earning around an EPA-estimated 27 city/29 highway MPG.2
Carrying the Load
The Explorer has always been a sizable SUV, and we expect nothing less from the 2022 model. In addition to having plenty of towing ability, you can also expect to find plenty of cargo volume in the cabin when you look at the 2021 iteration of this set of wheels. Behind the third row, you’ll have a cargo volume somewhere in the ballpark of 18.2 cubic feet.
This space can likely be extended by folding down the second and third rows of seats to max out your cargo volume somewhere around 87.8 cubic feet.
The Explorer should also prove quite spacious in terms of its ability to seat you and your passengers comfortably. Based on the 2021 model, we expect the 2022 Explorer to offer 152.7 cubic feet of passenger volume across its three rows of seats, allowing you to seat up to seven with ease.
Advanced Technology and Driver-Assistance Features
The 2022 Ford should also come with a suite of technology that will prove quite capable when it comes to both multimedia and safety. In terms of multimedia connectivity, the 2021 model came equipped with a FordPass Connect™ system. This feature provides drivers remote access to their vehicles from their mobile devices. So, you should have a similar ability in the 2022 model.
Similarly, you can also expect the 2022 Explorer to come configured with some helpful driver-assistive features such as:
- Trailer Sway Control
- Reverse Sensing System
- Lane-Keeping System
- Rear View Camera with Washer
