PREMIUM SONY AUDIO, 365 HP TWIN TURBO V6!! The 2018 Ford Explorer Sport delivers an impressive blend of muscle, refinement, technology, and everyday versatility that makes it one of the most compelling performance-oriented three-row SUVs of its era. Edmunds called the Sport trim their favorite version of the Explorer lineup, praising its powerful turbocharged engine, composed handling, quiet cabin, and confident highway comfort. With bold styling, standard all-wheel drive, and a twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 under the hood, the Explorer Sport feels far more athletic and upscale than the average family SUV. At the heart of the Explorer Sport is Fords impressive 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 producing 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission and intelligent all-wheel drive, the Sport delivers rapid acceleration and effortless passing power. Edmunds recorded a 060 mph time of just 6.3 seconds, exceptionally quick for a large three-row SUV. The turbocharged V6 provides immediate torque and strong response at virtually any speed, making highway merging, towing, and mountain driving feel easy and confident. Unlike many appearance-focused sport trims, the Explorer Sport genuinely earns its name. Edmunds praised the SUVs firmer suspension tuning, quicker steering, and excellent handling balance, noting that the Sport eradicates the ponderousness found in many large crossovers. Body roll is well controlled, steering feels responsive and precise, and the chassis maintains composure even during aggressive driving. Despite its athletic setup, the Explorer still delivers a smooth and comfortable ride that works extremely well for long-distance cruising and family travel. The Explorer Sport also stands out for its quiet and refined cabin. Wind noise and road noise are impressively muted, creating a calm and upscale atmosphere during highway driving. Edmunds specifically noted how surprisingly quiet the cabin remains even with the larger wheels and performance-oriented tires. The twin-turbo V6 adds a deep, satisfying tone under acceleration while remaining refined during relaxed cruising. Inside, the Explorer Sport combines practicality with premium comfort and modern technology. The cabin features soft-touch materials, attractive trim accents, supportive seating, and a clean dashboard layout centered around Fords improved Sync 3 infotainment system. Edmunds praised the quality of the interior materials and noted that the controls are far easier to use than earlier Ford systems. The elevated driving position provides commanding outward visibility, while the spacious interior offers excellent comfort for both front and second-row passengers. Terrain Management System with selectable drive modes Trailer Tow Package with 5,000-pound towing capability Optional second-row captains chairs Ford also equipped the Explorer Sport with impressive towing and all-weather capability. Standard all-wheel drive and Fords Terrain Management System allow the SUV to adapt to snow, mud, gravel, sand, and wet pavement with confidence. The Sport trim includes a Class III trailer tow package and electronic trailer sway control, allowing up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity enough for boats, campers, or utility trailers. Safety technology is another highlight. Available systems included adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, collision warning with brake support, automatic high beams, and parking sensors. Government crash testing awarded the Explorer five-star ratings in several categories, reinforcing its strong reputation as a family-friendly SUV. Owners frequently praise
