2024 Ford F-150 in Wichita Falls, TX
The 2024 Ford Explorer
The Ford Explorer is a popular SUV, ranking just below the F-150 truck as Ford's top-selling model in the U.S. Now in its sixth iteration, it shares its base with the Lincoln Aviator but comes at a more wallet-friendly starting price. This puts it head-to-head with other popular midsize three-row SUVs.
The 2024 model remains unchanged except for the discontinuation of the hybrid option for regular buyers. It's still available as a police vehicle. While prices mostly remain steady this year, some trims see slight increases.
The 2024 Ford Explorer lineup includes eight options: base, XLT, ST-Line, Limited, Timberline, ST, King Ranch, and Platinum. You can now find a 2024 Ford Explorer for sale in Wichita Falls, TX.

Interior Review of the 2024 Ford Explorer
The 2024 Ford Explorer features a modern setup featuring a portrait-style touchscreen on the dash and all the usual gadgets you'd expect. Higher trims throw in leather seats and wood accents to spruce things up. Big doors make getting in easy, and squeezing into the third row isn't too tough.
The Explorer has a decently long 119-inch wheelbase. The first two rows are spacious, and the third is perfect for kids. The base model features a second-row bench and seats seven. Other trims come with captain's chairs in the second row, reducing seating capacity to six or just four adults if you consider the tight squeeze in the third row. However, you can swap out those captain's chairs for a bench if you prefer.
Trunk space is generous at 18.2 cubic feet, more than what some rivals offer. Folding down the 50/50-split third row increases trunk volume to 47.9 cubic feet. When you stow away the 35/30/35-split second row, you get a maximum of 87.8 cubic feet, which is right up there with some of the best in its class.
Storage inside is convenient, with plenty of nooks and crannies to stash your stuff, like a glove compartment, front-row storage bin with a wireless charging pad in the center console, door pockets, two front seatback pockets, an overhead sunglasses holder, and a plethora of cup holders. Meanwhile, if you have captain's chairs in the second row, there's a small receptacle at the back of the center console and a shallow storage tray between them.
Exterior Review of the 2024 Ford Explorer
The 2024 Ford Explorer is pleasing to the eye with its square stance and appealing front end featuring standard LED headlights all around. The sloped C-pillar adds a nice touch while standing out against the mostly blacked-out glasshouse that resembles a visor. Different trims ride on varying sizes of wheels ranging from 18 inches on the base models and the Timberline with black alloys and all-terrain tires to 20-inch ones for most trims and hefty 21-inch wheels for ST models. Only base models don't have roof rails.
Grille designs differ depending on trim levels. The ST models have sportier looks with black grilles and dark accents, while the Timberline boasts enhanced angles, along with red bumper striping and tow hooks up front. A twin-panel sunroof comes standard on the King Ranch and Platinum versions but can be added as an option on select lower trims.
The 2024 Explorer is available in various colors, including:
- Stone Blue Metallic
- Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat
- Star White Metallic Tri-Coat
- Iconic Silver Metallic
- Forged Green Metallic
- Carbonized Gray Metallic
Power and Performance of the 2024 Ford Explorer
The 2024 Ford Explorer's base models have a 2.3-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. Meanwhile, the ST, King Ranch, and Limited trims have a more robust 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 engine that generates 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. The sporty ST variant can reach a top speed of up to 146 mph.
The hybrid trim from last year is now exclusive to law enforcement's Interceptor model and is not available for general consumers anymore. All trims are offered with two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD), except for the Timberline, which is strictly four-wheel drive. All models also have a 10-speed automatic transmission.
When it comes to towing, the Explorer falls within the average range with a maximum capacity of 5,300 pounds for the four-cylinder versions and 5,600 pounds for the V-6 models with the Trailer Tow package installed. The Timberland trim is most suitable for off-road adventures, boasting an impressive ground clearance of 8.7 inches.
