2021 Ford Explorer King Ranch

The 2021 Explorer is Ford's three-row family SUV, slotting between the Edge and the Expedition with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. It competes with the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Kia Telluride, offering more engine choices than most. The Explorer handles well for a large SUV, with responsive steering and a composed ride on the highway. The cabin offers generous passenger and cargo space, though some owners find lower trims a bit basic inside. Ford Co-Pilot360 safety tech is standard, and the available SYNC 3 infotainment is easy to use. The King Ranch is the Western-themed luxury pick, with premium leather and wood trim that set it apart from the more mainstream Limited. Its 3.0L V6 makes 365 horsepower and pairs with a ten-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, giving it effortless passing power on the highway. The ride is tuned for comfort, so you get a quiet, relaxed highway cruiser that still feels stable in corners.
