Ford Explorer Overview
The Ford Explorer's history traces back to more than 20 years ever since it was introduced early in the 1990s. It went through a lot of changes, including a recently redesigned platform that transitioned it from a midsize SUV to a midsize crossover. Through the years, the new Explorer has grown up greatly and is now packed with more of what our fellow Filipino cross-country adventure seekers need for the most amazing journey. As a midsize crossover, the Explorer sports a body dimension that's already locally regarded as one of the largest in its class. Standing tall and looking extra masculine with a hint of the 21st-century design ideas, the Explorer kept its status greatly, and it all continues inside where seven people can sit in comfortable leather, moving about in wide spaces, and enjoying the ride with a bevy of cool entertainment and connectivity features. In the Philippines, it's available with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine and comes packed with smarter and safety features. It also received a facelift with its new front grille, headlamps, fog lamps, and tail lights.
