Explore NEW Ford Explorer Vehicles for Sale in Hay River, NT

You want one SUV that can cover a lot of ground. School runs. Highway miles. Winter mornings that do not mess around. The Ford Explorer is built for that kind of real life. It’s a mid-size, three-row SUV with a roomy cabin and a confident feel on the road.

Shoppers often consider the Explorer because it balances space, power, and day-to-day comfort in one package. And around Hay River, that matters. Long stretches of highway, cold snaps, and changing road conditions make available 4WD and helpful drive modes worth a close look on the specific vehicle you’re considering.

Popular New Ford Explorer Trim Levels

Most Explorer shoppers start by picking the trim that matches your mix of comfort, style, and capability.

  • XLT: A well-equipped, family-friendly starting point, commonly found with key comfort features and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist tech.
  • Limited: A more premium step up with commonly available leather seating and upgraded tech features, depending on configuration.
  • ST-Line: A style-focused trim that leans sporty, with blacked-out accents and a more aggressive look, depending on model year.
  • Timberline: Off-road oriented, commonly found with rugged tires and added underbody protection for rougher roads and trails.
  • ST: The performance pick, typically paired with the stronger turbo V6 for quicker acceleration and a sport-tuned feel.

Trim availability can vary by model year, configuration, and current listings.

Ford Explorer Key Features

The Explorer brings a nice mix of power, space, and smart tech. The details can change by year and trim, so it’s worth checking the specific vehicle listing you’re considering.

Engine and Fuel Economy

Many Explorer models use a turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Some trims offer a twin-turbo 3.0L V6 for extra passing power and stronger towing capability, depending on configuration. A hybrid powertrain is also offered in certain trims and model years, giving you another option if fuel use is high on your list. In Canada, many models are commonly equipped with Intelligent 4WD, but exact drivetrain availability can vary by trim and year.

Seating, Towing, and Cargo Capacity

You get three rows and seating for six or seven, depending on whether the second row has captain’s chairs or a bench. The third row is generally best for kids or occasional adult use, which is pretty typical for this class. Cargo space is practical, with decent room behind the third row for everyday gear, and a much larger area when you fold the rear seats. Towing capability depends heavily on engine and package, so if you plan to pull a trailer, confirm the exact rating and equipment on the specific Explorer you’re viewing.

Technology and Connectivity

Depending on model year, you’ll commonly see SYNC infotainment (SYNC 3 on many 2020 to 2024 models, and SYNC 4 on refreshed newer models). Many Explorers offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, often with wireless connectivity. Screen sizes and layouts vary, and some newer versions may feature a larger portrait-style display. Connected services like remote features through FordPass can be available, but subscription details and trial periods can vary.

Safety

Explorer models commonly include Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist features, such as automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping support, and auto high beams, depending on year and trim. Some configurations add extras like adaptive cruise control with lane centring and other advanced assists. If hands-free highway driving is on your wish list, BlueCruise availability can depend on model year, trim, and subscription, and it works only on approved divided highways.
