Ford Explorer 2010, jeep / SUV 5 doors, 5th generation (12.2010 - 05.2016) - Specifications and Equipment

-
The fifth generation of the Ford Explorer SUV (the first was released back in 1990) was marked by the abandonment of the frame structure in favor of a monocoque body. The technical basis is characterized by a whole set of multi-brand borrowings. For example, the model is built on the Ford D4 platform, which was a further development of the D3 platform for light SUVs, and the latter, in turn, is based on the P2 platform, originally created by Volvo engineers during the period when the brand was owned by the Ford concern. 

Ford Explorer 2010 Specifications


The black body pillars (only the center rear ones painted in body color) hint at the design of the Land Rover SUVs that the same Chief Design Engineer Jim Holland worked on. The body is also adorned with trendy headlights and taillights of "stepped" shape. The basic equipment includes fog lamps, roof rails, LED direction indicators in the side mirrors and taillights. The seven-seater salon is upholstered in leather and trimmed with wood-like inserts, there are two hatches. The "Limited" package includes a premium audio system. A separate position is occupied by Explorer Sport - a luxury version of the SUV, equipped with a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6.

The all-wheel drive system Terrain Management 4WD System allows you to select the mode depending on road conditions: "Mud / Rut", "Snow / Grass", "Sand", "Track". The independent front and rear suspension provides a close-to-passenger driving character, and the sports suspension has become an invariable attribute of the "charged" Explorer Sport modification. Interestingly, the car, as before, is offered in a mono-drive or all-wheel drive version, however, unlike previous generations, the mono drive is front-wheel drive. This unites the Ford Explorer with most modern crossovers and is a distinctive feature of this particular generation, demonstrating a completely new concept of model development.

Safety systems in the Ford Explorer equipment include ABS, belt pretensioners, front and side airbags, side curtain airbags for all three rows of seats, stability control, including Roll-Over Control (RSC) and Traction Control. A blind spot monitoring system has been added to the Sport package. Among the options available for the Explorer are adaptive cruise control and active parking assistance. 




Despite all the radical changes that actually break traditions, the Ford Explorer, as before, allows you to comfortably accommodate seven passengers and will be an excellent choice for large families and for those who often have to carry loads - the two rear rows of seats fold down, increasing the volume of the luggage compartment from 595 to 2285 liters. In addition to cars offered by official dealers, you can find second-hand copies from the North American market on the market, including 2-liter modifications, which demonstrate a good fusion of dynamics and economy.

Returning to the models of past years, you can see a variety of ideas and forms. But in the matter of evolution, not only victories, but also defeats are important. Failed attempts help to create more successful models that can later become legendary. One of these attempts will be described in this article.   The Ford Corsair was designed to fill the price gap between the cheaper Cortina and the expensive Zephyr and Zodiac variants. He went into production in 1964 in the back of a sedan and in 1967 in the back of a station wagon. FORD CORSAIR 1967   A distinctive feature of this model is the arrow-shaped nose, and the Ford Thunderbird model is taken as the basis for the design. The design of the model was a cross between Taunus and Thunderbird. But, nevertheless, such a design did not delight the imagination of customers, and rather rejected than attracted to itself.   In the first versions, the car had a 1.5-liter engine with 60 horsepower. In subsequent versions, under the hood
