Efficient Features

In addition to its EcoBoost® engines and available Hybrid powertrain, the Ford Explorer also offers tons of features that can benefit your fuel economy. For example, Auto Start-Stop Technology conserves gas by turning the engine off instead of idling. Once traffic gets moving again, it'll start up so you can get going. If you're heading out on the highway, cruise control can make your drive more efficient. To take things a step further, the Explorer offers Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. This driver assist technology doubles as a safety feature. Not only can it maintain your speed, but it monitors the vehicle in front of you and automatically slows down or stops your SUV to keep you a safe distance away.Â
