2018 Ford Explorer

The 2018 Ford Explorer offers a compelling blend of rugged capability, modern technology, and family-friendly utility, solidifying its position as a stalwart in the midsize SUV segment. This generation of the Explorer, which received a mid-cycle refresh for 2018, presented a refreshed exterior design, updated technology, and continued emphasis on comfort and versatility for up to seven passengers.

Highlights

  • Engine Options:
    • 2.3L EcoBoost I-4: This turbocharged four-cylinder engine provides a good balance of power and efficiency for everyday driving, offering robust acceleration and respectable fuel economy.
    • 3.5L EcoBoost V6: Available on Sport and Platinum trims, this twin-turbocharged V6 is a powerhouse, delivering exhilarating performance for those seeking more spirited driving dynamics and enhanced towing capabilities.
    • 3.5L Ti-VCT V6: The standard engine on XLT and Limited trims, this naturally aspirated V6 offers smooth power delivery and proven reliability, suitable for most family needs.
  • Safety Features:
    • Standard Airbags: Comprehensive airbag system including front, front-side, and full-length side-curtain airbags for enhanced occupant protection in various collision scenarios.
    • Rearview Camera: Standard on all models, aiding in safe backing and parking maneuvers.
    • Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert: This available system monitors the blind spots on both sides of the vehicle and alerts the driver to approaching traffic when reversing, significantly improving situational awareness.
    • Adaptive Cruise Control: Allows the driver to set a desired speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting speed to maintain that gap, reducing driver fatigue on long journeys.
    • Lane-Keeping System: Helps prevent unintentional lane departures by providing steering assistance if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane, contributing to safer highway driving.
    • Forward Collision Warning with Brake Support: Detects potential frontal collisions and alerts the driver, also automatically applying the brakes if a collision is imminent and the driver doesn't react.
  • Trim Summary:
    • Explorer (Base): Offers a good foundation of features, including the 3.5L V6, rearview camera, and Ford's SYNC infotainment system.
    • XLT: Builds upon the base trim with desirable upgrades such as alloy wheels, satellite radio, and enhanced interior appointments. Often includes the option for the 2.3L EcoBoost engine.
    • Limited: Steps up the luxury with leather-trimmed seating, heated and cooled front seats, a power liftgate, and additional advanced safety features. Typically offers both the 2.3L EcoBoost and the 3.5L V6.
    • Sport: Positions itself as the performance-oriented model, exclusively featuring the powerful 3.5L EcoBoost V6, sport-tuned suspension, and unique styling cues.
    • Platinum: Represents the pinnacle of luxury, boasting premium leather, enhanced technology, a panoramic sunroof, and the potent 3.5L EcoBoost V6.
  • Other Notable Aspects:
    • Spacious Interior: The Explorer provides ample room for passengers in all three rows, making it a comfortable choice for families or those who frequently transport multiple people.
    • Cargo Versatility: With flexible seating arrangements and a decent-sized cargo area, the Explorer can accommodate various hauling needs, from groceries to luggage for a road trip.
    • User-Friendly Technology: Ford's SYNC infotainment system, particularly the available SYNC 3 with an 8-inch touchscreen, offered intuitive controls for audio, navigation, and smartphone integration.
    • Towing Capability: The Explorer, especially with the V6 engines, offers respectable towing capacities, making it suitable for hauling boats, trailers, or other recreational equipment.

What to Expect

Owning a 2018 Ford Explorer typically involves a comfortable and capable driving experience. The ride quality is generally well-balanced, absorbing road imperfections effectively for a pleasant journey. The cabin is relatively quiet, allowing for easy conversation even at highway speeds. Routine maintenance will align with industry standards for a midsize SUV, including oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, and fluid checks. Ford's reliability has generally been good, but proactive maintenance will be key to longevity. Insurance costs will vary based on individual factors such as driver history, location, and chosen coverage, but as a popular midsize SUV with available advanced safety features, it generally falls within a moderate range.

Potential Considerations

While the 2018 Ford Explorer is a strong contender, buyers should be aware of a few potential considerations. Some critics noted that the third-row seating, while present, can be a bit cramped for adults on longer journeys, making it more suitable for children or occasional use. Fuel economy, particularly with the V6 engines, may not be as competitive as some rivals in the segment. Additionally, while the interior is well-appointed, some may find the overall interior design and material choices to be slightly less premium than some competitors, especially in the lower trim levels. The infotainment system, while functional, might not feel as cutting-edge as the latest offerings from some manufacturers.

Overall Summary

The 2018 Ford Explorer stands out as a competent and well-rounded midsize SUV that excels in providing family-friendly space, versatile cargo options, and a range of powerful engine choices. Its comprehensive suite of available safety features and comfortable ride make it an appealing choice for those prioritizing practicality and passenger comfort. Despite some minor drawbacks in third-row space and interior refinement compared to certain competitors, the 2018 Explorer remains a solid option for buyers seeking a capable and dependable SUV for their daily commute and weekend adventures.
