Aptly named, the Ford Explorer goes from Wayland streets to off-road adventures without missing a beat. Its powerful engine contributes to a staggering 5,300-pound towing capacity. That's where this ride's capability features merely begin. Our Ed Koehn Ford of Wayland team has a few other features worth noting.

Standard Rear-Wheel Drive

The Ford Explorer comes equipped with Rear-Wheel Drive. Rear-wheel drive leaves the Explorer's front wheels to specialize in steering while the rear wheels shoulder the responsibility of driving. This arrangement enhances cornering grip and steering feel. Combining this with the Class III Trailer Tow Package raises the Ford Explorer's tow capacity to 5,600 pounds.

The Class III Trailer Tow Package is compatible with the Ford Explorer's entire engine lineup: 2.30-liter EcoBoost, 3.0-liter V6 and 3.3-liter hybrid

Towing and Trailer Sway Control

Towing and Trailer Sway Control helps prevent or mitigate the forces of rollover even when you're towing large loads. When activated, this feature adjusts engine power and selectively brakes, maintaining trailer control.
