The Fifth Generation of the Ford Explorer has been running from 2011 until the present. It is the ideal family car with plenty of space and comfort as well as many features to enhance the ease of driving. Buying a Ford Explorer in Elgin can be a great option and a worthwhile addition to your life.

Enhanced Parking System

This new feature, first offered in the 2016 model of the Ford Explorer, handles your parking and can cut down the time you spend trying to achieve that perfect parallel parking alignment. This feature allows the vehicle to parallel park, and also assist with perpendicular parking.

Safety Features

The Ford Explorer has earned a 5/5 star rating for overall crash protection for both frontal and side impact protection. The main safety feature is the latest air bag technology for the driver, passenger, and rear occupants. Some additional safety features that are optional include:

  • Roll stability control
  • Curve control
  • Forward collision warning including a brake support pre-crash system- this provides a visual warning for the driver in the form of a warning light. In the event that the driver does not respond, the system can increase the brake sensitivity to maximize the braking performance.

2018 Expectations

In 2018, the Ford Explorer is set to undergo a second facelift after the 2016 one which brought impressive redesigns such as new bumpers, LED headlights and fog lights. The main changes were focused on style, color combinations, technology, and power with a boosted engine. The 2018 facelift is set to focus once again on redesigns of the LED lighting system, new colors as well as new wheel designs.
