  • Overview

    It's not uncommon to see an SUV on the road these days. Their popularity has recently exploded, and manufacturers offer countless variations to consumers. There's no shortage of offerings that pop up each year, with some aimed at the family-oriented driver and others made for those who crave adventure. But through all the changes and developments that have taken place, the Ford Explorer remains the old veteran who has seen and done it all. At the dawn of the new millennium, when SUVs were starting to become more accessible to consumers, the Explorer had already provided drivers with a capable and versatile vehicle for over a decade.

    Making its debut for the 1991 model year, the Ford Explorer has been praised by critics and consumers, with over 8 million units sold in the United States alone. This fact attests to the longevity and reputation of the model. Through the years, the Explorer has undergone numerous changes and modifications. After all, the industry is in a constant state of evolution. One of the newest incarnations of the Explorer is the 2022 Ford Explorer ST-Line, a trim level that offers more than the base model while remaining affordable. As it carries the torch for the blue oval, we're looking at what it has to offer.

  • Performance

    Modern Performance

    In the past, the Explorer has offered large V6 and V8 engines. Powerful, yes. But less impressive when it comes to fuel consumption. Times have changed, and a slightly smaller engine now powers the 2022 Explorer ST-Line. The EcoBoost 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder has been tested in various Ford vehicles. First appearing in the 2015 Ford Mustang, it has powered the Ford Bronco, the Ford Ranger, and even the Lincoln Corsair. When placed underneath the hood of the Explorer ST-Line, it generates 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission, this proves that big things come in small packages.

    Drivetrains and Efficiency

    There are two different drivetrains to choose from, each with its own unique advantages. RWD is standard, but if you are an off-road enthusiast or simply desire superior traction in all weather conditions, Intelligent AWD is available. Selecting this option also adds Ford's Terrain Management System with seven selectable drive modes. You'll have no trouble configuring your ride with a dial conveniently located on the center console.

    When it comes to fuel consumption, the Explorer ST-Line is quite efficient for an SUV that's powered by gasoline. With RWD, the Explorer ST-Line achieves 21 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. These numbers are above average for a powerful midsize SUV such as the Explorer. And they're one more example of how Ford has continued to deliver performance to the people.

    Keeping Comfortable

    Few things make a potential vehicle buyer turn away quicker than a lack of comfort. A vehicle might look nice and move at an admirable speed, but if you can't be comfortable behind the wheel, that's a red flag. Luckily, Ford has never been known for cutting corners when it comes to giving its customers the very best in comfort. The 2022 Explorer ST-Line is no exception and provides you with all necessary amenities.

    Standard on the ST-Line is tri-zone automatic climate control. This means that everyone can have the temperature at their perfect setting. Should your passengers want to change their comfort level, rear temperature controls placed behind the center console mean they can do it themselves, and you can keep yourself focused on the road ahead. Automatic climate control isn't the only thing that will ensure comfort. ActiveX seating material and second-row captain's chairs are standard, ensuring comfort remains high. First-row heated seats keep you warm, even when the weather drops a few degrees.

    Digital Features

    Comfort and climate are always great to enjoy, but what about 21st-century features? Not to worry, Ford has you covered. With the latest Sync 3 technology, all the goodies are easily accessible with the help of an 8" infotainment display. This software is compatible with Android and Apple products and comes with a three-month all-access trial to SiriusXM satellite radio.

    Whichever you prefer, podcasts or music, you'll have no trouble accessing all of your favorites. But a new question arises—what is the sound quality like? That's a very good question. How does a high-quality Bang & Olufsen 12-speaker stereo system with a subwoofer sound? Because it sure sounds good to us! Other standard technology features include a voice-activated navigation system, a 4G LTE wireless hotspot, and an HD radio. While the 2022 Explorer ST-Line may not be the top trim of the lineup, it is filled with high-tech features to keep you comfortable.

  • Safety

    Safe and Secure

    Performance and comfort are part and parcel of choosing a new vehicle. But there's nothing more important than having peace of mind knowing that you're safe and secure while you're on the road. Ford has a successful track record of providing drivers with safe vehicles. The Explorer ST-Line is one of many in a long line of models that Ford put a great amount of effort into regarding safety concerns.

    Ford's Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package is a standard feature to ease everyone's mind. A comprehensive suite of safety technologies will make any journey easier to undertake, so let's break down this layer of protection to better inform you of its advantages.

    Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert

    The blind spot is the Achilles' heel of even the most responsible and experienced driver. With this technology, the objects that would normally be obscured from your vision will be visible. This is meant to protect not only you but also the other drivers and pedestrians who share your surroundings.

    Lane-Keeping System

    While the lines painted on the road are there to let us know where we need to keep our vehicles, fatigue and distraction can cause you to drift from your lane. This system helps you safely maintain your position through a combination of alerts and gentle steering inputs.

    Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

    Quick reactions before a collision are vital. This system sounds the alarm when it senses an impending collision, so you can take evasive maneuvers and apply the brakes. It can even apply the brakes automatically if you don't react in time.

    Evasive Steering Assist

    Speaking of reaction time, sudden maneuvering to avoid hazards is something all drivers will experience at least once in their lifetime. This feature provides additional steering support when you're maneuvering to avoid the worst.

    Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control

    One of the biggest advancements in driving assistance, adaptive cruise control monitors traffic patterns and watches for slower vehicles ahead of you. If necessary, it will reduce your vehicle's speed, allowing you to follow at a safe distance without touching the brakes.

    Rear View Camera

    If you live in an area that includes residents who tend to be younger and shorter, being able to see behind you is imperative. A rearview camera allows you to back up safely while keeping an eye on anything in your way.

    Auto High Beam Assist

    Bright high beams can let you see the road ahead of you in the dark, but they can also hinder the vision of other motorists you come into contact with. This feature will automatically dim the high beams when it detects oncoming traffic so as not to interfere with whoever you share the road with. This allows you to keep your focus on the road ahead.

    Hill Descent Control

    Remember when you rode your bike down a steep street? It might have been fun, but your parents were worried. This function acts to help you get down inclines much easier. By automatically applying the brake when necessary and maintaining a set speed, you'll be able to get to the bottom in one piece.

    While the Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package certainly makes things less stressful, it does not replace the responsible habits of an experienced driver. Always keep your eyes on the road and watch for what's ahead.
