2022 Ford Explorer Limited

The Ford Explorer is an excellent SUV. It has a large cargo hold, numerous tech and safety features, and powerful engines; its base four-cylinder engine outperforms some rivals' V6s. The Explorer is also adaptable, with trims geared toward performance, off-roading, and luxury. However, the interior falls short. The cabin is basic, passenger space in the second and third rows is limited, and the upgraded infotainment system has a few quirks that make it difficult to use.

2022 Ford Explorer Limited

The Ford Explorer Limited costs $45,495 and features genuine leather upholstery, ventilated first- and second-row seats, heated second-row seats, and front parking sensors. For $700, you can get a hands-free liftgate and a power-folding third row.

Ford offers eight trim levels for the 2022 Explorer: Base, XLT, ST-Line, Limited, Timberline, ST, King Ranch, and Platinum. The first five trims are powered by a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, while the remaining trims are powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6. The base trim is well-equipped, and the engine is powerful enough to satisfy the majority of buyers.
