Published horsepower and torque ratings are based on premium fuel. These are independent ratings and may not be achieved simultaneously. Verify the V6 rating for the specific vehicle rather than assuming every configuration produces 400 horsepower.
Make the Seating Work for Your FamilyCaptain’s chairs provide an aisle between the second-row seats, while an available bench adds a seventh seating position on eligible trims. Think about who regularly uses the third row and how often you need passenger space and luggage room at the same time.
For an afternoon at Fox Pond Park, check whether your stroller, folding chairs, or cooler fit with the third row upright. Bring regularly carried items to the test drive so you can assess the loading space you will actually use.
Try the second-row entry mechanism and third-row seating before deciding. Depending on trim and equipment, third-row folding is manual or powered.
The standard Class III Trailer Tow Package supports towing up to 5,000 pounds when the Explorer is properly equipped. Review the vehicle’s ratings against your loaded trailer, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight. Towing capacity and available payload are separate limits.

Around Fairgrounds Road, evaluate visibility, turning space, and camera views during your drive. Suitable tires and driving adjusted to conditions remain important in every configuration.
