Other new models are added too.
The Ford Explorer was recently enhanced with a more luxurious King Ranch model, something that should appeal to the brand s customers who want space and comfort in equal measure. But at the other end of the scale, Ford is looking after customers who want cheaper Explorer models too. There was already a large price cut last year, but now the Blue Oval has added fresh models to the lineup to further encourage sales. Excitingly, one of these new models is a cheaper version of the Explorer ST, called the Enthusiast ST. And don t worry - there s no cut in performance.
Thanks to two brand-new trim levels.
Ford has enthusiasts covered with its upcoming Bronco and Bronco Sport models, both of which are built to handle off-road elements. Though it won t be as capable as the Bronco family, Ford has another capable SUV on the way. Car And Driver reports that the 2022 Ford Explorer will offer a new off-road package, rumored to be called the Explorer Timberline. Ford trademarked the Timberline name back in 2018 with the Maverick name, though we were unsure what the former would be used for until now.
Maverick is still expected to go on an upcoming compact pickup truck model, while the Timberline should grace the back of the most off-road-ready Explorer. This new Explorer option was formerly rumored to be called the FX4, but Ford s recent introduction of the Tremor name shows that it s willing to use other names for its off-road packages.
It s an unusual marketing technique, but it ll probably help.
The correlation between a vehicle manufacturer and a gaming console is usually made as a result of games like Gran Turismo, where you get to race all sorts of vehicles from all sorts of automakers. However, Ford in Spain is now making the connection in a different way. The brand is now offering a PlayStation 5 gaming console with the purchase of a new Ford Explorer, eschewing the usual discount offerings in favor of something that is certainly a massive part of pop culture right now. Of course, buying an SUV just to get a PS5 seems like overkill, but demand for the console has been insane.
