Is the 2024 Ford Explorer redesigned?
Although we originally expected a mid-cycle refresh for this Explorer, it looks like that won’t happen till the 2025 model year! The only change for this 2024 Explorer is that the hybrid powertrain is no longer available.
Does the 2024 Ford Explorer have comfortable seats?
Not only does the Explorer deliver an especially driver-friendly cruise, but all three rows provide the comfort and support you need to tackle family road trips and off-road adventures. Better yet, every Explorer trim model comes with tri-zone automatic climate control and a power-adjustable driver’s seat to help maximize your comfort.
The mid-level XLT trim model and up feature heated front seats, and the Limited, King Ranch, and Platinum also include ventilated front seats. The entry-level Explorer XL treats you to seven seats, whereas the XLT and up come standard with second-row captain’s chairs and six seats.
Does the 2024 Ford Explorer offer a V6 engine?
Yes! The Explorer ST returns for the 2024 model year with its exclusive turbocharged V6 engine, pumping out 400 horses and 415 pound-feet of torque. That’s almost more power than any Explorer could need, and it certainly lends itself to a thrilling ride! The Explorer ST is built for a quick, agile ride, with an exclusive sport-tuned suspension, quad exhaust outlets, and transmission paddle shifters.
Other Explorer trim models feature the base engine, a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine. It’s also incredibly powerful, helping you surge up to speed with 300 horses and 310 pound-feet of torque. Most Explorer trim models, including the ST, come standard with rear-wheel drive but offer all-wheel drive as an option.
If you’re shopping for family-style off-road adventure, the Explorer Timberline trim model can help. Under its hood, you’ll find the standard 300-horsepower engine, but this is the only Explorer that comes standard with traction-boosting all-wheel drive. The Timberline helps you handle off-road trails with underbody skid plates, off-road-tuned suspension with increased ground clearance, and a limited-slip rear differential.
The 2024 Explorer engine options include:
- Turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder engine (300 hp, 310 lb-ft)
- Turbo 3.0L V6 (400 hp, 415 lb-ft)
- 10-speed automatic transmission
- Rear-wheel drive or optional all-wheel drive
