If you want a rugged SUV that performs athletically and is feature-packed, consider the 2021 Ford Explorer. The Ford Explorer has been a powerhouse vehicle in terms of popularity for years, and that reputation isn't going away in 2021. We adore this SUV for its third-row seating, its new standard features, and its convenience functions. Let's talk about the key features to see if you'll fall in love with the Ford Explorer, too. 1. Luxurious Seating If you're not comfortable in your vehicle then you're not going to have a good time, no matter how well it performs on the road. Luckily, there are several features in the Ford Explorer that create comfort for anyone who sits in it. One of these features is the available leather upholstery, which creates a comfortable feel and stylish look. Another feature is the heating in the first and second-row seats; most SUVs only have heating in the front row. The third-row seats aren't let out, either, as they have a power-folding feature. This isn't a comfort feature for third-row passengers; it's a convenience-based feature for the driver. Instead of having to struggle with folding down the rear seats when you need to, you simply push a button and they fold away by themselves. This is just one of many features made for the driver's benefit - another is the front row massage function made to reduce fatigue. more 2. Parking Assistance and Other Convenience Many drivers despise parallel parking, and sometimes backing into a parking space isn't fun either. With the Ford Explorer, you'll have a stress-free experience no matter how you choose to park. There's an active parking assist feature; you press a button and your vehicle senses the best position to stop in. It'll help you figure out which way to steer, then it tells you when to park. Eliminating the stress of parking is a sure way to make yourself happy. You should be aware that the parking assist feature is an upgrade - it's not a base model feature. Although, there are several features available in the standard Ford Explorer that don't exist in standard competitor models. These include other convenience features like LED taillights and a power liftgate. 3. Incredible Safety Features If you like the sound of those two standard features listed above, you'll love the standard safety features in the Ford Explorer. Unlike many competitors, Ford doesn't make you pay for your own safety and peace of mind. Post-collision braking is standard, as are several alert functions that help you drive more efficiently. On top of the standard safety, there are a few available via upgrade-only. The upgraded safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and reverse brake assistance. If you're interested in the Ford Explorer, come and see us at Lenoir City Ford. We'll get you into the SUV for a test drive and help ensure you have the best time possible. If you're in love with the vehicle when you return, talk to us and we'll talk you through all your options with trims, features, and more. Image via ford.com.
