Tons of Options

Whether you are yearning for an SUV with off-road capabilities, luxurious features, or a hybrid engine, the Ford Explorer is definitely a good choice. To attain a massive towing capacity, the Ford Explorer requires the Class IV Trailer Tow Package, which is available with three engines: the 2.3L EcoBoost®, the 3.3L PowerBoost® hybrid, and the 3.0L EcoBoost® engine. In the Ford Explorer Platinum and the Ford Explorer ST, the available 3.0L EcoBoost® allows for a 5,600-lb. towing capacity. These models are luxurious and capable, but the Ford Explorer Timberline is the best option for those who plan to take their journey off-road. This configuration comes with the 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 4WD powertrain, which can tackle nearly any terrain and tow up to 5,300 lbs. when equipped with the Class IV Trailer Tow Package. With the hybrid powertrain, the Ford Explorer towing capacity remains impressive at 5,000 lbs. To even further maximize the towing capabilities and ensure confidence in your Ford Explorer, let us know if you’re interested in adding Trailer Sway Control.
