Explorer Timberline: Ready for the Off-Roads

In the 2022 Explorer Timberline, you’ll find a trim that’s designed to be taken out to the roads less traveled. In fact, it’s so dedicated to that ideal, a specific Off-Road Ready feature comes standard on this trim. This umbrella term for multiple features includes steel skid plates on the front, rear, and underbody that provide an extra amount of protection from challenging terrain, and the 3.58 TORSEN® Limited-Slip Rear differential offers additional capability while off-road. Also included is Trailer Sway Control, which ensures crosswinds or high-velocity driving don’t cause your trailer to become hazardous.

The Timberline also offers more advanced tech than just the previously mentioned features. There’s Hill Descent Control™, which helps you safely navigate when driving down from hills or other elevated terrain. Also here is the formal introduction of the Terrain Management System™, which provides better control while driving over difficult terrain by selecting a drive mode best suited for it. These modes include the following: Normal, Trail, Deep Snow/Sand, Slippery, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Eco mode.

Furthermore, the Explorer ST features the available Intelligent 4WD that continually adjusts its performance to meet the demands of the road as you drive. It makes every drive an adventure as you’ll always be prepared for the next big challenge.
