In and around Tarpon Springs, FL, the right SUV is a handy vehicle. Ford's versatile and popular Explorer is that SUV.
Today's Ford Explorer comes with rear-wheel drive and Ford's dial-selected Terrain Management System as standard features. Switching this legendary vehicle to RWD gives the Ford Explorer a sporty footprint, and it maximizes its towing capacity. Of course, if traction optimization is important to you, Ford also offers the new Explorer with Intelligent 4WD. This traction-directing system helps you keep moving in a variety of conditions. It also boosts the Terrain Management System's drive-mode count to seven, giving you access to Slippery, Trail, and other modes.
Most SUVs are built with all-wheel drive, so they quiver when faced with surfaces that aren't paved. Intelligent 4WD is a four-wheel-drive system that is comfortable on a wide range of surfaces. The vehicle's Hill Descent Control will help you steadily brake during steep situations, too.
