Expect to see the outside appearance updated and a possibility of the twin turbo EcoBoost V6 3.5L being an option. If it Happens, the Addition of this engine will address the complaint of the Explorer being on the slow side. Offered the other motors should see modest gains power.

2013 Ford Explorer Interior :
2013 Ford Explorer Interior. - Interior of Ford Explorer is complite. How about outstanding second row legroom, at nearly 40 inches, and good third-row space at 33.2 inches?... Two 12 year olds will be happy in the third row, with that legroom to squirm in and their own cupholders and bins. Because the rear doors swing wide and open easily, and because the second row seat flips forward in a heartbeat, reaching the rear row is an easy climb, even for adults.

Powertrains and Performance :
Powertrains and Performance. - The 2013 Ford Explorer comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6 that produces 290 hp and 255 pound feet of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission and front wheel drive are standard. Four wheel drive (there is no low range gearing) is optional and includes Ford's Terrain Management System, a selectable four mode system that optimizes traction electronically for different conditions. Hill descent control and hill start assist are also included.

Driving Impressions :
Driving Impressions. - The 2013 Ford Explorer feels rock solid at freeway speeds, well-damped over broken pavement and very confident when negotiating a corner. The responsive steering demonstrates Ford's skill at tuning an electric power steering system (a setup that improves fuel economy and accommodates the automatic parking feature).
