Austin 2022 Ford Explorer

New Austin Ford Explorer For Sale

Being one of Ford’s best-suited family vehicles, the 2022 Ford Explorer for sale in Austin is a trendsetter. Due to 30+ years of production, the Ford Explorer has played a significant role in gaining popularity for its well-performing lineup. Now, with three rows of seats and ample cargo space, the sixth-generation SUV is the perfect travel companion for Austin families. Though most owners will be satisfied with the new Ford Explorer’s 300-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder base engine, for more power, you can upgrade to either the 400-horsepower twin-turbo V-6 engine or the hybrid powertrain. Moreover, the newly launched midsize SUV has shifted from a four-wheel drive to a rear-wheel drive longitudinal engine as a standard. In short, the model is still fresh; we expect the 2022 Ford Explorer to just keep getting better.

With a combination of looks and high-performance, the 2022 Ford Explorer in Austin lineup now includes an ST-Line model comprising a more efficient turbocharged 4-cylinder powertrain, 20-inch wheels, black badging, and accents. The surprise doesn’t end here; the new Ford Explorer’s sportiest model can now be paired with a rear-wheel drive. Speaking of the high-end models, the Platinum and King Ranch gets a 400-horsepower bump as well as it can now be equipped with both a pair of captain’s chairs or a second-row bench seat. Apart from introducing two new exterior colors - Burgundy Velvet and Stone Blue - the Austin 2022 Ford Explorer Timberline model now comes with an additional second-row bench.

The new Ford Explorer's interior is functional and comfortable. With the upgraded features such as the touch-button mechanism that folds the second-row seats, getting into the standard third-row has become relatively easier. We successfully managed to fit four carry-on suitcases with all rows upfront, whereas 31 bags with the second and third-row folded.
