2017 Ford Explorer Police

The 2017 Explorer is Ford's three-row family SUV, slotting between the Edge and the Expedition. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Chevrolet Traverse in the midsize three-row segment. The Explorer drives with a composed, car-like feel, and the available turbo V6 gives it genuinely quick acceleration. Inside, there's room for seven, and the second-row seats fold and tumble for easy access to the third row. With the rear seats folded flat, the Explorer swallows bulky cargo like a full-size mattress with ease. The Police package is the heavy-duty version of the Explorer, built for fleet use with upgraded cooling, a beefier alternator, and unique steel wheels. Its 3.7L V6 makes 304 horsepower and pairs with automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, giving it strong highway passing power and confident traction in snow. You get a column shifter instead of a console, a vinyl rear floor, and no third-row seats, so it's strictly a five-passenger utility vehicle.
