2021 Ford Explorer: A Detailed Overview

The 2021 Ford Explorer continues its legacy as a capable and versatile three-row SUV, offering a blend of comfort, technology, and driving dynamics. For 2021, it received a significant refresh, solidifying its position in a competitive segment.

Highlights

  • Engine Options:

    • Standard 2.3L EcoBoost I-4: This turbocharged engine provides a good balance of power and efficiency, producing 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive is standard, with four-wheel drive available.
    • 3.0L EcoBoost V6: Found in higher trims and as an option, this twin-turbocharged V6 delivers a more potent 365 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It also utilizes the 10-speed automatic and RWD or AWD.
    • Explorer ST: This performance-oriented trim features a more powerful version of the 3.0L EcoBoost V6, tuned to produce 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
    • Explorer Hybrid: For those seeking better fuel economy, a hybrid powertrain combines a 3.3L V6 with an electric motor, delivering a combined 318 horsepower. It's available with RWD or AWD.
  • Safety Features: Ford Co-Pilot360™ is standard across all trims, offering a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems:

    • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): Detects potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes to mitigate or avoid them.
    • Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert: Monitors blind spots and alerts the driver to vehicles in those areas, as well as approaching traffic when reversing.
    • Lane-Keeping System: Helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane by providing steering input if it detects unintentional drifting.
    • Rearview Camera: Provides a clear view of what's behind the vehicle when backing up.
    • Available features: Adaptive Cruise Control, Evasive Steering Assist, and Parking Package are available on higher trims or as optional add-ons.
  • Trim Summary:

    • Explorer Base: The entry-level model offers a solid foundation of features and the standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine.
    • Explorer XLT: Builds upon the Base with enhanced comfort and convenience features, often including upgraded upholstery and amenities.
    • Explorer Limited: Steps up luxury and technology, typically featuring leather-trimmed seats, a larger infotainment screen, and premium audio.
    • Explorer ST: The performance variant, distinguished by its more powerful V6 engine, sport-tuned suspension, unique styling cues, and performance-oriented interior.
    • Explorer Platinum: The top-tier luxury offering, boasting premium materials, advanced tech, and a refined driving experience.
    • Explorer Timberline: A new off-road-focused trim for 2021, featuring increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, a revised suspension, and unique styling elements for enhanced capability.
  • Other Notable Aspects:

    • Rear-Wheel Drive Architecture: The 2021 Explorer moved to a rear-wheel-drive platform, which generally improves handling and provides a more car-like driving feel compared to its front-wheel-drive predecessors.
    • Spacious Interior: The cabin offers comfortable seating for up to seven passengers, with a usable third row for children or shorter adults. Cargo space is also generous.
    • Technology Integration: A user-friendly infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility is standard, with larger touchscreen options available on higher trims.

What to Expect

A typical ownership experience with the 2021 Ford Explorer is generally positive, characterized by a comfortable ride, a quiet cabin, and a good amount of modern technology. The driving dynamics are a step up from many competitors, especially with the RWD platform. Routine maintenance will involve oil changes, tire rotations, and fluid checks, following Ford's recommended service schedule. Expect to visit a Ford dealership or a trusted independent mechanic for these services. Insurance costs will vary depending on your location, driving record, and the specific trim level chosen, with higher-performance trims like the ST potentially incurring higher premiums. The Explorer's reputation for reliability is generally good, but like any vehicle, individual experiences can vary.

Potential Considerations

While the 2021 Ford Explorer is a strong contender, buyers should be aware of a few potential considerations. The third-row seating, while functional, is best suited for children or occasional use by adults due to its limited legroom and ingress/egress. Some reviewers have noted that road noise can still be noticeable at highway speeds, particularly on rougher surfaces, despite efforts to improve cabin insulation. While the infotainment system is generally intuitive, some users have found the touchscreen interface can occasionally be a bit slow to respond. Finally, the overall fuel economy for the V6 engines, while competitive for the class, is not class-leading, especially when towing or driving aggressively.

Overall Summary

The 2021 Ford Explorer presents itself as a well-rounded and appealing three-row SUV that successfully blends everyday usability with engaging driving characteristics. Its range of powertrain options, robust safety features, and comfortable interior make it a compelling choice for families and individuals seeking a versatile vehicle. Whether prioritizing performance in the ST, off-road capability in the Timberline, or everyday practicality, the 2021 Explorer offers a compelling package that solidifies its place as a strong contender in its segment.
