From the enticing SRP, to the tough exterior looks and the very interesting MyFord TouchTM with 2 configurable displays in the instrument panel, these are just the teaser the All-New Ford Explorer can brag. Inside, at the helm of the driver seat in perforated leather-trim, you will feel in total control with (heated) electric controlled front seat adjustment in 10-ways plus memory settings for the driver seat only. Even the 2nd and 3rd row seats are adjustable and capable of split folding, while only the 3rd row can be folded with a flick of a button in several ways. Everything seem to be within reach, even the diameter size of the steering wheel creates a nimble feel especially in tight maneuvers. The dual-zone electronic automatic temperature controlled air-conditioning system can set the positive mood. The 8-inch LCD touch screen located on the center of the dashboard is very hard to miss out and for techy people it would be a sin not to tinker with it. The “bombastic” sound system will not only appeal to the young but to the young at heart as well and during night driving the cabin could be lit in several choices for ambient lighting. The auto lamp feature with U.S. specs would function earlier than other vehicles this writer had tested but the headlamp beam even with the absence of HID still provided good density over the road ahead.
Nevertheless even with the size of the All-New Ford Explorer and a power plant of a 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 that could push 346nm/4000rpm of maximum torque linked to a 6-speed automatic transmission with high IQ 4-wheel drive capability and the rest of the alphabet safety aids, driving felt so easy and long road trips seemed shorter. Check out the All-New Ford Explorer, in Quezon City visit your nearest Ford dealer in Balintawak, Quezon Avenue, Libis and Commonwealth and feel the difference.
