Just recently, I had the opportunity to drive from Montana to Wyoming in the new 2016 Ford Explorer. It was a beautiful car, with plenty of room and a smooth ride. We had a pleasant trip through some very scenic states and areas, and had so much fun getting to take this auto on quite the test drive.
Taking a little break to enjoy the scenery.
The new Ford Explorer has lots of updates and improvements, but the most noticeable thing about the new Explorer is its ease to drive and fun to get behind the wheel. From an ecologically minded engine, to many places to plug in your devices and music players, to all the “extras”, there is so much that will make you fall in love with the Ford Explorer.
The road trip begins! We all get into an Explorer and go exploring. Fairly apt, don’t you think?
The vehicle itself sports new lift gate, new tail lamps, new fascia and new exhaust tips,Redesigned hood, headlamps, grille, fender and fog lamps,Five all-new wheel designs and three new colors, Unique interior and exterior and premium appointments on the new Platinum series,Nirvana Leather with perforated and quilted seats on Platinum model.
Plenty of room for 3 people’s bags and computers with lots of spcace to spare.
The engine is a 280 hp beats which delivers 310 lbs of torque using its twin turbochargers which give the engine faster pickup and enhances acceleration.
The hands free parking is a thing of wonder. It helps keep the guess work out of weather you are in the spot or not. The Explorer uses its available ultrasonic systems to help you in nearly all parking situations – park out assist, perpendicular parking, and Forward and Side Sensing Systems. While the car is large, you wont’ feel like you are parking a boat. It is also really nice to be able to see behind you easily via screen while you are backing up.
The navigation system was super easy to use, and very accurate. It was even great when we had to take a route we didn’t know, after a road was closed and no “alternate route” was posted at all. No problem!
Available enhanced active park assist adds the ability for Explorer to help you with perpendicular parking. Utilizing the vehicle’s 12 ultrasonic sensors, Explorer will scan for suitable parking spaces and will assist in backing the vehicle into the spot. All you have to do is shift, accelerate and brake, and active park assist will take care of the steering.
Gone Exploring…..So much to see! How beautiful is this scenery?
What a great family vehicle! Looks really nice and spacious!
I like how roomy the Ford Explorer is and I like the vehicle’s 12 ultrasonic sensors, that will help me scan for suitable parking spaces and will assist in backing the vehicle into the spot! Boy I need this. I would love to own one of these cars.
This car looks amazing. I have a Ford Edge and absolutely love it. The Sync and navigation are really great and easy to use.
We have a neighbor who just bought a new Explorer. He has nothing but good to say about it!
I had an Explorer for years and it served me well. That’s a great make/model to go with for a new car.
Beautiful trip, neat car. I love Yellowstone & Jackson Hole.
