Dealer Comments

The 2012 Ford Explorer puts technology front and center with its AM/FM Stereo with Single CD/MP3 capability, an intuitive trip computer, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls that let you manage entertainment without distraction.

This SUV is tailored for tech-savvy drivers who want to stay connected on every journey, whether it's navigation for the St. Louis commute or streaming music on a family road trip. The Explorer's SIRIUS Satellite Radio and MP3-compatible audio system cater to those who rely on apps and digital entertainment. Remote keyless entry and a trip computer bring convenience to everyday errands, and speed-sensitive wipers and power windows add to the modern driving experience. If you value practical digital features and want a vehicle that keeps you plugged in without overwhelming complexity, this SUV fits the bill.

Driving the Explorer is enhanced by technology that brings both comfort and control. The 3.5L V6 Ti-VCT engine paired with a 6-speed automatic with Select-Shift delivers smooth power, while electronic stability control and speed-sensing steering add digital intelligence to every maneuver. Four-wheel independent suspension and traction control systems automatically adapt to changing road conditions, contributing to a composed and confident ride. The trip computer provides real-time driving data, enabling you to adjust your habits for optimal efficiency, and Select-Shift lets you tailor gear changes for various driving scenarios.

Smart safety features are embedded throughout the Explorer, using digital sensors to help prevent accidents and protect passengers. Electronic Stability Control and ABS brakes leverage real-time processing to maintain traction and minimize skidding in sudden maneuvers. Dual front, side, and overhead airbags, along with an occupant sensing airbag, activate only when needed, reducing unnecessary deployments. Speed control, low tire pressure warnings, and traction control further enhance driver awareness. The IIHS Top Safety Pick award underscores its effective integration of active and passive safety technologies.

Inside, this SUV's Preferred Equipment Package 100A includes cloth bucket seats and a split-folding third row, making it easy to adapt the cabin for cargo or passengers. The infotainment system supports CD/MP3 playback, and SIRIUS Satellite Radio, while steering wheel audio controls and a trip computer put key functions right at your fingertips. Rear air conditioning ensures all occupants are comfortable, and the remote keyless entry provides seamless access. The Trailer Tow Package (Class III) enables weekend getaways or hauling, while the roof rack adds extra flexibility for outdoor gear.

Among mid-size SUVs, the Explorer's tech feature set stands out against competitors like the Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot.

Does this SUV have wireless CarPlay or Android Auto? No, but its MP3-capable audio system and SIRIUS Satellite Radio support broad digital entertainment options. What driver assistance technology is included? It features electronic stability control, ABS brakes, traction control, and multiple airbags, all working together for enhanced safety. How does the infotainment system compare to competitors?
