Miles Overview
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 Base Explorer skips the XLT's power liftgate and roof rails but keeps the same 2.3L four-cylinder and all-wheel drive. Its 270 horsepower four-cylinder and ten-speed automatic return 23 mpg combined, which is competitive for a three-row SUV with AWD.
