2013 Ford Explorer Overview

The 2013 Ford Explorer continued its strong presence in the mid-size SUV segment, offering a blend of practicality, modern technology, and a more car-like driving experience compared to its truck-based predecessors. This generation, which debuted in 2011, represented a significant departure, prioritizing comfort and efficiency.

Highlights

  • Engine Options:

    • 2.0L EcoBoost I-4: This turbocharged four-cylinder engine provided a good balance of power and fuel efficiency, delivering 240 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque. It was a strong choice for everyday driving and offered impressive MPG.
    • 3.5L V6: The naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 was the standard engine in some trims, producing 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. It offered more robust performance for towing and heavier loads.
    • 3.5L EcoBoost V6 (Sport Trim): Exclusive to the Sport trim, this twin-turbocharged V6 was a performance powerhouse, generating a substantial 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.
  • Safety Features:

    • Standard Airbags: The Explorer came equipped with a comprehensive suite of airbags, including front, side-impact, and curtain airbags for all three rows, offering excellent occupant protection.
    • AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control: This system actively monitors vehicle dynamics, helping to prevent skids and rollovers by automatically applying brakes and reducing engine power when it detects instability.
    • SOS Post-Crash Alert System: In the event of a moderate to severe collision, this system automatically unlocks doors, sounds the horn, and flashes the hazard lights, alerting emergency responders to the vehicle's location.
    • Available BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert: BLIS warns the driver of vehicles in their blind spots, while Cross-Traffic Alert alerts the driver to approaching traffic when backing out of a parking space.
    • Available Adaptive Cruise Control: This feature automatically adjusts the vehicle's speed to maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead, reducing driver workload on highways.
  • Trim Summary:

    • Explorer Base: The entry-level option, offering essential features for a comfortable and safe family vehicle.
    • Explorer XLT: Added more creature comforts and desirable features, often including alloy wheels, a better sound system, and upgraded interior materials.
    • Explorer Limited: Represented a step up in luxury and technology, featuring premium leather upholstery, advanced infotainment options, and more driver-assist technologies.
    • Explorer Sport: The performance-oriented trim, distinguished by its powerful EcoBoost V6 engine, sport-tuned suspension, and unique styling cues.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Unibody Construction: Unlike its truck-based predecessors, the 2013 Explorer utilized a unibody chassis, contributing to a smoother, more refined ride quality and improved handling.
    • Terrain Management System (Optional on some trims, standard on Sport): This system allowed drivers to select different driving modes (Normal, Snow/Gravel, Sand, Mud/Ruts) to optimize traction and performance for various conditions.
    • Spacious and Versatile Interior: The Explorer offered a family-friendly cabin with ample passenger space and a flexible cargo area, with the third row of seats being particularly useful for carrying more passengers.
    • SYNC Infotainment System: Ford's SYNC system, available with MyFord Touch in higher trims, provided voice-activated control for audio, climate, and phone functions, enhancing connectivity and convenience.

What to Expect

Owning a 2013 Ford Explorer typically provides a comfortable and capable ownership experience. Its car-like driving dynamics make it easy to maneuver in urban environments and a pleasant companion on long road trips. Maintenance is generally straightforward, with routine oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks being the most common needs. Following Ford's recommended maintenance schedule will help ensure longevity and optimal performance. Insurance costs will vary depending on your location, driving record, and chosen coverage, but as a mid-size SUV with advanced safety features, it's likely to be in the mid-to-higher range compared to smaller sedans.

Potential Considerations

While the 2013 Explorer is a well-rounded vehicle, potential buyers should be aware of a few common considerations. Some owners have reported issues with the MyFord Touch infotainment system, which could sometimes be slow to respond or prone to glitches. The 2.0L EcoBoost engine, while efficient, might feel less potent when fully loaded or when tackling steep inclines compared to the V6 options. Additionally, the third-row seating, while present, is best suited for children or shorter adults due to its limited legroom. Some owners have also noted that the interior materials, particularly in lower trims, might not feel as premium as some competitors.

Overall Summary

The 2013 Ford Explorer is a competent and versatile mid-size SUV that successfully transitioned to a more car-like platform. It offers a comfortable ride, a spacious and practical interior, and a range of engine options to suit different needs, including a fuel-efficient four-cylinder and powerful V6 choices. With its strong safety features and available technology, the Explorer remains a solid choice for families seeking a capable and refined daily driver, though potential buyers should be mindful of the MyFord Touch system's quirks and the third-row's limited space.
