ALL AROUND
Getting off the
beaten path makes
.
life interesting.
Explorer features Intelligent 4WD with the Terrain
Management System,
shift-on-the-fly confidence on all sorts of surfaces.
NORMAL
Normal is ideal for everyday driving on wet or dry paved
roads. Using Hill Descent Control
helps regulate your speed on steep declines, so you can
concentrate on maneuvering.
MUD, RUT
Backroads can get muddy after a good rain. In this mode,
powertrain torque is a bit more aggressive, limiting
transmission upshifts and letting the wheels spin to get
you through the thick stuff.
SAND
A day at the beach or on the dunes is a
blast in a vehicle that takes the soft stuff
in stride. This mode uses more aggressive
throttle progression and holds gears longer
to help transfer optimized torque to the
wheels. They can spin aggressively to maintain
momentum and keep the fun going.
SNOW, GRAVEL, GRASS
Getting off the beaten path makes life interesting.
When you go there in this mode, the transmission delivers
earlier upshifts and less aggressive engine torque
distribution, limiting wheelslip to help improve traction
on tricky terrain. All-season adventures await.
