Drivers who think that family-friendly cars and fun-to-drive cars can’t be ubiquitous have not met the 2014 Ford Explorer. We know what you are thinking. The Explorer is just another midsize-SUV right? WRONG! The 2013 Ford Explorer with the Sport trim package is everything a parent could want from their family car. With high-performance output, the Explorer Sport has been built to handle tough conditions and hold a wide range of game-changing technology.
The Explorer Sport is built with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that can churn out 365 horsepower and up to 350 lb.-ft. of torque. And with a starting price of just $40,780, this models underpinnings can be compared to the SUVs of luxury brands like Mercedes and Porsche.All that power from the engine can be allocated to specific wheels to help traverse bad roads or adverse conditions. Using a knob on the center console, drivers can change driving modes between: Sand Mode, Mud and Rut Mode, Snow Mode, Wet Grass mode and Normal Driving Mode. All of these options help to decrease the risk of you spinning out or losing control when your family is in tow.
Other features on the Explorer Sport include: a folding-third-row seat, heated steering wheel, power liftgate, sport seats, power-adjustable pedals, and 20-inch wheels.
