Driving the 2015 Ford Explorer Limited on a daily basis is pleasant, thanks to its quiet interior and comfortable ride. You'll also likely be pleased with the interior's high-quality materials and collection features.
This Explorer comes equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine. It produces 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 20 mpg combined (17 city/24 highway).
The Explorer has a very smooth ride quality on the highway, with good composure that gets only a little busier with the Limited model's 20-inch wheels over broken pavement. The Explorer's interior is pretty well-trimmed. Materials are attractive and luxurious, with a soft-touch dashboard and precise-feeling controls. The front seats are very supportive, and the cabin is particularly quiet as well.
Trim level features on this Limited include 20-inch wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated and power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, ventilated front seats, an eight-way power driver seat with power-adjustable lumbar, keyless ignition and entry, remote engine start, driver memory settings, power-adjustable pedals, a 110-volt power outlet and a 12-speaker Sony sound system with HD radio.
