The 2019 Ford Explorer is built for families with kids. It is a popular three-row crossover SUV that has become trendy for all the right reasons.
Different configurations of the Explorer include the XLT, Limited, Platinum, and Sport trim levels. Most Explorers will leave the factory with a standard 3.5 liter V6 engine that is capable of reaching 290 horsepower. Buyers can opt for turbo-4 on most trims is an exciting option. The turbo-twin V6 engine for the Explorer Platinum and Sport trims are capable of reaching 365 horsepower, which is impressive.
Front wheel drive is standard across all configurations. Most trims offer an all-wheel drive, but being a tall minivan, don’t expect serious performance on off-road terrains.

All engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with optional all-wheel-drive, and the front-wheel-drive is standard.
