2021 Ford Explorer for Sale in Richfield Springs, NY
One of the original nameplates of the modern SUV era, the Ford Explorer, continues to impress with its bold style, spacious and comfortable accommodations, and robust performance. Over its three-decade (and counting) run, Explorer has garnered a reputation as both a dependable and safe family mover and rugged and versatile adventure machine. And when Ford completely redesigned the venerable three-row utility vehicle in 2020, the experience got even better.
Continuing its sixth generation, the 2021 Explorer rolls into the new model year with a few trim alterations that make many desirable features even more accessible. If you're in the market for a roomy, featured-packed SUV with lots of cargo capacity and standard safety technologies, Cooper Ford invites you to explore what the 2021 Ford Explorer has to offer.

Performance
Despite its larger physical footprint, the Ford Explorer delivers quick and confident acceleration for safe merging and highway passing maneuvers. Under the hood, Explorer finds its motivation in a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that generates 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. A new 10-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels, and four-wheel-drive is optional on any trim. Need to transport more than what fits in the cargo area? Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds when properly equipped.
Accommodations and Utility
The Ford Explorer offers a spacious and refined cabin with attractive style, intuitively arranged controls, abundant accommodations for passengers and cargo. In its standard configuration, Explorer provides comfortable seating for up to seven people. Amsterdam NY families that don't require the additional seatbelt can choose a six-seat configuration with second-row captain's chairs. Explorer also offers numerous amenities to enhance the experience, including a standard power liftgate and three-zone automatic climate control and available heated and ventilated seats, leather upholstery, second-row sunshades, and a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen premium audio system.
With all seats in use, Explorer retains nearly 20 cubic feet for luggage and groceries. And when you need to prioritize cargo, you can fold the third row for 47.9 cubic feet or both rear rows for 87.8 cubic feet of maximum carrying capacity.

Technology
Explorer's standard SYNC 3 infotainment seamlessly integrates essential smartphone apps and functions via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Using steering wheel buttons, voice commands, or the responsive 8-inch (or available 10.1-inch) touchscreen, you'll have intuitive access to hands-free calls and messages, streaming media, maps and directions, traffic data, weather info, and more.
Available Adaptive Cruise Control helps mitigate the stress and fatigue of a tedious commute or long road trip. Leveraging advanced radar and camera technology, this system automatically controls the brake and throttle to maintain a preset distance from leading vehicles up to predetermined speed.
Have you ever had to pass up a prime parking spot because you were unsure of your parallel parking ability? With Active Park Assist 2.0, you won't have to worry about that again. At the press of a button, the system can determine a suitable parking spot, help you find the ideal starting position, and steer you into the space automatically.
