It’s the 2022 Ford Explorer, a multipurpose SUV that’ll take you anywhere you want to go in Hamilton, Madison, and Morrisville, New York, and beyond. Interested in learning more? Check out this 2022 Explorer review by Friendly Ford of Hamilton!
Limitless Driving
What separates the 2022 Ford Explorer from the pack is its ability to make driving on any road condition and/or terrain a breeze. There are many reasons for this.
It starts underneath the hood, with three available powertrains:
- 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine: Produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
- 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine: Produces 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
- 3.3L Hybrid V6 engine: Produces 318 horsepower and 322 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
No gear will be left behind, with the 2022 Explorer at your side. With a maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds when properly equipped, you can haul different-sized trailers, boats, bikes, and so much more. When you pair that with the available Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System™, which can help you tackle snow, sand, and more, nothing will stand in your way.
The 2022 Explorer keeps its undercarriage safe from debris with a standard 8.7 inches of ground clearance, which will also make getting to your destination much easier. If for any reason one of the tires is punctured, the Explorer takes things to the next level, with the available self-sealing tires.
Enough Space for Passengers and Cargo
With so many adventures on the horizon in the 2022 Ford Explorer, you’ll need enough space for your passengers and their cargo. Thankfully, when you choose the Explorer, you’ll have more than enough room.
We’ll start by looking at headroom, legroom, shoulder room, and hip room in all three rows:

Not only is this SUV spacious for its occupants, you’ll almost have enough room to fit an entire department store! With the second-row and third-row seats folded down, the Explorer provides just under 88 cubic feet of space, about 48 cubic feet of space with only the third-row seats folded down, and 18.2 cubic feet with all of the seats upright.
For even more storage, you’ll want to check out the available Cargo Management System, which provides extra side pockets and a storage area underneath the floor.
Stay Connected
Whether you’re going deep into the wilderness or just around the block, it’s satisfying to know that you can stay connected to your digital world. Offering the latest technology, thanks to SYNC® 3, you can do everything from connecting your phone wirelessly to shopping on Amazon. Best of all, the voice activation feature means you’ll never have to look down at your phone while you’re driving.
Speaking of connecting your phone, the Explorer offers wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration through an immersive, available 10.1-inch infotainment screen. Pair that with the available 10-speaker audio system from Bang & Olufsen® and you’ll feel like you’re in the front row at a concert!
