SUVs have always offered plenty of muscle, but many times it came at the expense of fuel efficiency. Explorer is changing that, thanks to a 30% improvement in fuel efficiency--better than the current Explorer V6--the 3.5L TiVCT V6 engine is best-in-class 25 highway mpg, 290 horsepower and 255 lb.-ft of torque. With all that power and torque, Explorer can tow up to 5,000 lbs. when properly equipped. An SUV that deliver no-compromise power. That’s the all-new 2011 Explorer.

Ford engineers have designed features for the 2011 Explorer that are incredibly innovative and smart. For example, there's the industry-first, Ford-exclusive inflatable rear safety belts* that spread crash forces over more areas of the body compared to conventional safety belts. The available Ford-exclusive Collision Warning System with Brake Support scans traffic ahead of your vehicle to detect slower moving vehicles based on a preset distance. AdvanceTrac® with roll stability control has been enhanced with the addition of Curve Control†, helping provide even more control. There are even available rain-sensing wipers that automatically activate when precipitation is detected on the windshield. In the 2011 Explorer, smart features help provide you with peace of mind.

Explorer has a lot of high-tech intelligence to make your life on the road a whole lot easier. Take, for example, our easy-to-use in-car connectivity system, MyFord Touch. With simple voice commands, you can make phone calls, choose music and more without taking your eyes off the road.* Another great system is the available voice-activated Navigation System with integrated SIRIUS Travel Link™ that provides real-time weather, traffic, fuel prices - even movie times.
