New Ford 2022 Ford Explorer for Sale in Hyannis, MA
Overview
When the Ford Explorer was introduced in 1991, it began a critical role in the SUV revolution. Back then, it emerged as the replacement for the Bronco II, and now it joins the reborn Bronco in Ford’s 2022 lineup. This new model year brings the addition of sport ST-Line for a blend of aggressive styling with the powerful turbocharged EcoBoost engine. Plus, the aggressive Explorer ST is now available with rear-wheel drive. With seating for six or seven, the 2022 Ford Explorer is an ideal road-tripper thanks to cargo space that maxes out at just about 88 cubic feet (when both back rows are folded flat). It also makes itself mighty useful for big jobs with a payload capacity up to 1,560 pounds and a towing maximum of 5,600 pounds.
Trims and Powertrains
Buyers of the 2022 Explorer can choose from eight trim levels: the Base, XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, Limited, ST, King Ranch, and Platinum. A turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque is standard on the Base, XLT, ST-Line, Timberline, and Limited. The ST and King Ranch get a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine that makes 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is available on the Platinum, which is also available with a hybrid powertrain (that model is covered in a separate overview). A ten-speed automatic transmission is standard across the Explorer lineup. Rear-wheel drive (RWD) is the standard configuration on all trims except for the Limited, which is made only with all-wheel drive (AWD). AWD is available on all other trims.
The EPA-estimated fuel economy for four-cylinder Explorers with RWD is 21 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. With AWD, that changes to 20 city/27 highway. With the larger engine, the 2022 Explorer with RWD is rated at 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Highway mpg drops to 24 in Explorers with AWD and the bigger engine.

They call it the Base, but it’s so nicely equipped that you’d think otherwise. It has LED headlights, a power liftgate, tri-zone automatic climate control, 12-volt power outlets, a 35/30/35-split folding second-row bench seat, and 50/50-split folding third-row seats.

XLT
The XLT is sweetened with signature LED headlights, heated side mirrors, roof rails, keyless entry, push-button ignition, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, second-row captain’s chairs (reduce seating from seven to six), and second-row USB charging ports.

Black exterior trim sets the ST-Line apart in looks. It also gets LED fog lights, power-folding side mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, remote start, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, ambient interior lighting, red interior contrast stitching, a heated and leather-wrapped steering wheel, synthetic leather seats with microfiber inserts, and a wireless phone charger.
