Our Tennessee Dealership Offers A Preview of the 2016 Ford Explorer

Ever since making its debut at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2016 Ford Explorer has captivated consumers who want to own a high performance SUV that delivers top of the class fuel economy. The Explorer dazzles the eyes with satin chrome accents that run through the entire body of the vehicle. Ford engineers created a unique platinum grill that encircles the rear liftgate. The standard two-panel moonroof enhances the exterior appearance of the 2016 Explorer, while guiding moonlight to reflect off the sleek SUV frame. Our team of Ford automotive experts makes sure to point out the 20-inch bright-faced wheels that include artistically designed dark painted pockets.

The 2015 Explorer Gives You Lots Of Options

Not many SUVs provide three engine options, but that is exactly what the 2016 Ford Explorer offers its owners. The new 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine delivers more horsepower and torque than what the previously installed 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine delivered. Twin independent camshaft timing highlights the features that power the 3.5-liter V6 engine. As the most powerful engine for the 2016 Explorer, the 3.5-liter EcoBoost comes equipped with twin turbochargers and direct fuel injection.

Here are the standard specifications for the 2016 Ford Explorer:

• Engine Size: 2.3-liter EcoBoost
• Cylinders: 4 Cylinder Engine
• Horsepower: Estimated 270 HP
• Transmission: 6-Speed SelectShift® Automatic

Comfortable Rides to Knoxville Area Landmarks

The seven-seat Explorer SUV provides plenty of room to take large families to and from Knoxville area landmarks such as the Sunsphere, Ramsey House, and Bijou Theater. Adults can stretch their legs in the back seat and never have to worry about bothering the passenger sitting next to them. Plush leather provides a high degree of breathability, which helps remove perspiration on the sultry days when you and your family head for the Great Smoky Mountain foothills or decide to enjoy a leisurely walk through the Gatlinburg business district. Quilted inserts provide multi-contour functionality and the leather-draped dashboard with contesting stitiching exudes top of the class style.

Finding the Best Parking Spot for Shakespeare on the Square

The 2016 Ford Explorer includes several safety features that help our customers avoid collisions. Ford engineers also make it much easier to parallel park and back out of crowded parking lots by installing a front 180-degree camera. The camera surveys alleys, parking lots, and around sharp bends to ensure you park safely. Camera sensors alert you to potential dangers, such as oncoming vehicles and pedestrians that you cannot see. The 180-degree parking camera helps you park in the full capacity Knoxville Museum of Art parking lot, as well as next to Knoxville parking meters that you fill for annual events such as the Foothills Fall Festival and Feast with the Beasts.

The 2016 Explorer Continues the Safety Tradition of the Popular SUV

The Ford Explorer is not only one of the safest Ford vehicles, it is one of the safest vehicle manufactured by any other automaker. Safety innovations that include inflatable rear seatbelts and traction control technology keep you and your family out of harm’s way. Whether you attend a University of Tennessee football game or decide to pack up the gear form a camping trip to Lookout Mountain, you can travel with the peace of mind that Ford cannot measure in dollars and cents.
