2012 The Ford Explorer is a crossover

In 2011, Ford decided to reinvent and redesign the original Explorer rather than scraping it altogether. Ford got rid of its original truck-based design, full time four-wheel drive, available V8 engine, and just about anything else. The new 2011 Ford Explorer is a crossover, where the only thing in common with its predecessor is the available seven-passenger seating.

The standard powertrain of the Explorer puts together a 3.5 liter V6 engine with 290 horsepower with a six-speed automatic transmission. It is able to tow up to five-thousand pounds. Safety feature of the 2011 Explorer include traction control, ABS, antiskid system, and front side and curtain side airbags. All have MyFordTouch - a touch screen system controlling climate, audio, cell phones, and all navigation controls. MyFordTouch also comes with voice activation. The navigation system uses TeleNav and also has "Eco-Route guidance" so drivers can locate the most fuel-efficient route to the desired destination.

Other standard parts of the Explorer on the Limited edition and option on XLT include leather upholstery, automatic climate control, rearview camera, and heated front seats. Options only available to the 2011 Ford Explorer Limited edition include adaptive cruise control, cooled and heated front seats, hands-free parallel parking system, and forward-collision warning. The Limited and XLT have optional power tailgate and sunroof.
