New Ford Explorer arrives in Puerto Rico
ADVERTORIAL
For more than three decades, Explorer — America’s all-time best-selling SUV1 — has helped define SUV comfort, performance and functionality. Its new lineup just arrived in Puerto Rico, setting a new standard again with updated models, all featuring a redesigned interior, advanced new technology and bolder exterior styling to create Ford’s best Explorer yet.
“With Explorer, Ford redefined a new SUV segment and became the preferred choice for exploration. Today, it returns with greater interior comfort and style, a sportier exterior design and advanced technology to bring that excitement back to the category and empower families with the spirit of exploration anytime, anywhere,” said Rosángela Guerra, director of Ford for Puerto Rico, Central America and the Caribbean.
The new Explorer features a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that delivers up to 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft of torque2, with a 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission. Its Terrain Management System offers seven drive modes to choose from and a Towing package that provides the capacity to tow up to 5,000 pounds3 and offers 4-wheel drive.
The redesigned interior catches the eye with fine details, surfaces and colors that further the premium feel of the updated, more open and spacious cabin, which offers a new level of comfort.
For an elevated driving experience, Explorer expands the digital lives of its passengers with the Ford Digital Experience, allowing access to Google and Amazon apps and services5 through the new built-in native experience, as well as with Apple CarPlay powered by iPhone and Android Auto via other compatible devices4.
The displays on the 13.2-inch touchscreen allow for easy control, while integration with Google Maps allows navigation screens to be displayed on both the touchscreen and the 12.3-inch digital cluster.
Google Assistant serves as the default voice assistant, and Alexa Built-In is also available for in-vehicle controls, such as setting in-vehicle temperature, searching for information, finding destinations and requesting a broadcast or satellite radio station, as well as help with making calls, sending texts, setting a meeting, and managing connected home devices. Customers can enjoy streaming music, audiobooks and podcasts through entertainment apps downloaded from Google Play, such as Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible and iHeartRadio, along with SiriusXM6 integrated with 360L for a personalized listening experience.
5G wireless technology7 brings incredibly fast connectivity, and with a Ford Premium Connectivity plan, the best possible in-vehicle experience. Customers also have the option to activate a Wi-Fi hotspot to connect up to 10 mobile devices.
Technology also enhances the driving experience with the Ford Co-Pilot360 platform with a variety of driver-assistance features for added safety and control8, such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Information System with Cross Traffic Alert and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking.
The new Explorer boasts a bolder appearance and stance, with options that allow Explorer owners to further personalize their vehicle. Its larger front grille, modern LED headlights, front skid plate, and lower and wider air curtains help lower the vehicle’s visual center of gravity.
In addition, the sport-tuned suspension improves driving precision and experience, true to Ford Performance’s highest standards. To safely stop Explorer ST’s great power, Ford equipped it with high-performance brakes and striking red sport calipers designed for high-performance driving.The new Ford Explorer is available at all nine Ford authorized dealerships in Puerto Rico.
