Now in its fourth year, this generation of the Ford Explorer remains an attractive choice in the crowded and competitive three-row crossover segment.

New For 2014

Several mechanical changes introduced last year for the Explorer Sport trickle down to all models, including larger brakes, a larger brake master cylinder, and solid steering-rack mounts that improve steering feel. Heated second-row seats and adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning join the options list for Limited models. There are also two new paint colors, sunset and dark side.

There is a version of the Ford F-150 to suit every buyer, from the barebones XL model all the way to the glamorous Limited; from the base 302-hp V-6 engine up to the 411-hp V-8; with a choice from regular, SuperCab, and SuperCrew cabs; and short and long wheelbases.
