If you live anywhere near the Windy City, there's a need for a vehicle that can get you through it without breaking a sweat. It's also a reason why you see so many Ford Explorer SUVs on the road throughout the year. Whether people pull it out just for the cold months or enjoy it all year long, a Ford Explorer is a dependable and stylish model to get you and your family around town-and here's why.
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) gives you more traction and control across various terrains. Intelligent 4WD takes it a step further and is available on select Ford Explorer models. Unlike traditional AWD, this system constantly monitors road conditions and controls throttle input, wheel speed, and vehicle acceleration to automatically adjust to the elements. If you lose traction on ice, rain, or gravel, it will immediately shift all of the available torque to the wheel with grip.
We know how tricky Chicago winters can be. From a couple of feet of snow to sleet and ice, you know you need a vehicle that can get you through it all. That's why Ford's Intelligent 4WD is a game changer for the fall and winter months in Dolton and other Midwest cities.
The Ford Explorer delivers dynamic interior features that will make your commute in Homewood more enjoyable by the mile. Select models offer heated/ventilated/massaging leather front-row seats, BlueCruise hands-free driving, a B&O sound system, and other game-changing features.
We know that traffic in Chicagoland can be atrocious. What better way to spend it than with complete comfort? The features certainly can make a difference in how you view your work trip from Palos Heights to Southside Chicago. That's why the Ford Explorer is always a great option. From entry-level models like the Active to the fully loaded Platinum™, you can't go wrong with a Ford Explorer near Blue Island.
Depending on your model year and configuration, the Ford Explorer delivers:
These days, it isn't too uncommon for a family to have a couple of elementary-aged children in the mix with a couple of teens. That means you need room for car seats, diaper bags, and teenage growth spurts. The Ford Explorer handles it all with spacious second row seats and an easy access third row setup to unload the little ones out of the back when needed.
The Ford Explorer brings cargo space to the forefront among its models. Most of our Ford Explorer SUVs offer 16.3 cubic feet behind the 3rd row, 46 cubic feet behind the 2nd row, and 85.8 cubic feet with all rear seats folded flat.
If you want to take your Ford Explorer on a road trip, there's room for luggage. When the kids need to haul sports equipment, and you need to make a grocery trip in one swoop, there's room. You might even have enough space to start your contracting business. In the world of SUVs, space is king-and the Ford Explorer wears the crown.
Many of our Ford Explorer models feature either a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine with 300 horsepower or a 3.0-liter EcoBoost® engine with 400 horsepower. The lighter engines deliver dynamic horsepower to get your large SUV up to speed on the highway while averaging an EPA-estimated 20-27 MPG in the city and 27-29 MPG on the highway.
Because when gas prices climb to uncomfortable limits, you can still fill up your tank and have money left over to pick up a few road snacks. It's a great one-two punch of power and efficiency that can handle city commutes in Chicago or trips to Oak Lawn to visit family.
