Refine your travels"This Explorer stands out most for its impressive lack of interior noise and vibration. We'd venture this is the smoothest, quietest body-on-frame truck ever…"
So says AutoWeek.* And we say, the difference is in the details. Explorer's smooth, quiet ride stems in part from its solid foundation, a fully boxed frame that's remarkable 63% stiffer that that of the previous generation.
Thoughtful engineering went into details like the sound-deadening carpet and headliner materials, the roof structure, overall powertrain of these elements help give Explorer its impressively quiet, comfortable ride – one that's quieter than the previous generation on rough roads and on coarse surfaces. A 4-wheel independent suspension with monotube shocks also helps Explorer hug the road.
Powering your journeys, Explorer's standard 4.0L SOHC V6 engine pumps out 2 10 hp and 344 Nm of torque. Matched with a 5-speed floor shift automatic transmission, the V6 meets Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle II (ULE VII) standards.
