If you happen to be on the hunt for a full-size utility hauler, we here at McLarty Ford would be quick to point you in the direction of ours, the 2017 Explorer.
Wondering why we would?
Then, check the clip below. The fine folks over at MotorWeek are here to provide you with some context for our claim:
Quite possibly the most well-rounded option throughout the Explorer engine lineup, the mid-level 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder is sure to be a popular pick.
Optional on the Base and XLT trims, this turbo-four makes a muscly 280 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. It receives a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive as standard; all-wheel drive, meanwhile, is offered as an option.
Better still, this engine is also the Explorer's most fuel-efficient. When had with front-wheel drive, for example, it'll return 22 mpg combined (19 city/28 highway).
If you'd like to learn more about this standout SUV, or wish to get behind the wheel of one, we encourage you to drop by our Texarkana, TX dealership. Our automotive aficionados are ready to answer your every question about the Explorer, or any other Ford model within the present portfolio.
