What Makes the Explorer a Family Favorite in Bangor

The Explorer has been hauling families for decades — and the current generation does it better than ever. Three rows of seating mean there's room for the whole crew, whether that's kids, grandparents, or the carpool from Orono. The cargo area swallows gear for weekend trips to Acadia, and the available all-wheel drive keeps everyone safe when Penobscot County roads turn slick. For Bangor families who need space, capability, and comfort in one package, the Explorer delivers.

All-Wheel Drive Built for Bangor Winters

Maine winters test vehicles — and the Explorer's available all-wheel drive with Terrain Management passes every time. The system adapts to snow, ice, mud, and sand automatically, providing confident traction on I-95, the back roads to Hermon, and everywhere in between. Combined with the Explorer's solid stance and composed handling, you get a three-row SUV that makes winter driving less stressful for the whole family.

Towing That Brings the Adventure Along

The Explorer isn't just a people-mover — it's a capable tower that brings the toys along. Boats to the lake, campers to Bar Harbor, jet skis to the coast — the Explorer handles it. The integrated trailer sway control keeps things stable, and the rear-wheel-drive-based platform provides a solid foundation for pulling weight. For families who want to bring the adventure with them, the Explorer makes it possible.

A Cabin Built for Bangor Families

The Explorer interior is designed for family life — comfortable seats across all three rows, SYNC infotainment that keeps everyone connected, and Ford Co-Pilot360 that adds driver-assist technology for highway cruising and parking lot maneuvering. The second row slides and reclines, the third row folds flat for cargo, and there's enough cupholders and USB ports to keep everyone happy on the drive from Bangor to wherever the weekend takes you.
