The new Explorer Timberlake is marketed as the best car for active leisure lovers, combining urban maneuverability with great off-road chops and a spacious, family-friendly cabin.
Ford quotes the results of a study according to which people have made wilderness trips 1.5 times more often than before since the pandemic started. Moreover, 40% of the Americans polled said they had more free times on their hands with the lockdown in effect, so this could also become a major contributing factor.
The Explorer Timberlake boasts heavy-duty shocks, revised steering, off-road tires, a rear differential, stainless-steel guards, and redesigned front and rear ends. Those who find it not special enough will be happy to learn about three customization packages.
Powering the SUV is a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine driving the wheels with 305 PS (302 hp / 225 kW) through a 10-speed A/T.
