With a huge number of vehicles on the market, many drivers are basing their car-buying choices on which cars have innovative features that are going to benefit them during their day-to-day lives. The vehicles you’ll find at your Ford dealer have plenty of those. If you’re looking for a three-row SUV when you head to the dealer, then you’ll want to check out the 2024 Ford Explorer.
A Closer Look at the Innovative Features of the 2024 Ford Explorer at Your Ford Dealer
Ford Co-Pilot360
You’ll find some of the best driver assistance features on the market in the Ford Explorer. Cameras mounted around the vehicle help you see everything around you, and they work together with sensors to give your car a set of eyes of its own. It can keep track of lane markings, hazards in your path, drivers in your blind spot, automatically adjust your speed, and much more.
The innovative safety features you’ll find on the Explorer include:
- Blindspot monitoring system
- Pre-collision assist
- Lane-keeping system
- Adaptive cruise control
Terrain Management System
Driving on loose terrain versus a normal tarmac requires a different type of performance from your Explorer. Trails and wet roads need to be handled differently, too. Plus, when you’re towing, then your Explorer needs to optimize its performance to handle the extra weight and the tugging and swaying of a trailer.
With the Terrain Management System, you can tell your car what type of surface you’re driving on, or you can let it know if you’re towing. It will then adjust its performance so that its performance is best suited to the terrain/situation you’re dealing with at the time. There are also settings for sporty driving, conserving fuel, and driving normally.
Active Park Assist
Some forms of parking are downright loathsome—parallel parking, for example. With Active Park Assist 2.0, you’ll never have to deal with parallel or perpendicular parking by yourself again. This system can park your car for you by taking over the steering, acceleration, braking, and shifting. The cameras and sensors on the car ensure the vehicle knows exactly what’s going on around it, guaranteeing safe parking every time.
Trailer Sway Control
Trailers tend to sway when towing, and this can impact your driving performance and make driving a little uncomfortable. Trailer Sway Control gets rid of those issues by adjusting your engine power and selectively breaking while you’re towing. This stops your trailer from swaying, even when you’re going around corners or driving on curved roads. The Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds, so you’ll certainly get plenty of use out of this feature.
