Ford Explorer Specs
When shopping for a car, it’s imperative to know how the Ford Explorer specs differ by trim. If a particular feature is of value to you, you’ll want to make sure that the trim model you’re considering purchasing comes correctly equipped. Above, we present the Ford Explorer specs in an easy-to-read format so you easily see at a glance how the trims differ.

You can view the Ford Explorer specs all at once, or narrow down the features to only see one category at a time. For instance, if you’re interested in “Safety,” you have the option of only viewing those features pertinent to that category. This helps you focus in on features that are important to you, which makes the car buying process that much easier. Besides feature-based specifications, we also display pure numerical values. This is helpful in determining whether a vehicle will meet your needs. This is particularly useful when comparing one vehicle against another. You can use CarsDirect’s compare tool to perform this assessment.

Besides Ford Explorer specs, CarsDirect also provides other tools to help you make a purchasing decision. You can look at reviews, pictures and even get a price, which is backed by our Low Price Guarantee. CarsDirect makes buying a car and getting research information, including Ford Explorer specs, extremely simple. It’s no wonder CarsDirect is America’s number #1 way to buy cars online.
