Ford Explorer Bold Moves

Ford Explorer was a Bold Move when it first appeared. And it’s even Bolder now…offering one of the greatest values in its class given its innovation, features, content, power, safety, comfort and value. It has literally set the bar when it comes to the design of sport utility vehicles in America. In 2006 and 2007, this SUV received a 5-star crash test rating for all four crash seating positions. It also helps protect you with its standard Intelligent Safety System and standard side-impact airbags. Your peace of mind is enhanced through the patented Safety Canopy™ System, offering improved 1st- and 2nd-row outboard occupant protection. It is standard on Eddie Bauer and Limited and available on XLT. Adaptive dual-stage front airbags use a venting system that tailors airbag size to occupant size. Plus, the front passenger's airbag features a first-in-class adaptive airbag tether to help tailor airbag shape and size to the passenger's needs. Second row seats fold out of the way to allow easy access to the available 3rd-row seating, featuring a 50/50 split design with manual or optional PowerFold operation. In the optional 7-passenger seating configuration, the 2nd-and 3rd-row seatbacks fold and tumble out of the way. The available DVD-based Navigation System features class-exclusive intersection programming that calls out upcoming street names, rather than just telling you which direction to turn. The 4.6L V8 uses 3-valve technology to help produce 292 horsepower and 300 ft.-lb. of torque. It’s teamed with a first-in-class 6-speed automatic transmission. In extreme driving situations, standard AdvanceTrac with first-in-class Roll Stability Control to helps make those situations less difficult. AdvanceTrac with RSC is an electronic stability enhancement system consisting of anti-lock brake system, traction control, yaw control and a vehicle-roll motion sensor. Through computer-control, they give you greater driving control and peace of mind when you get behind the wheel in any driving situation.
