2015 Ford Explorer reviews say it blows most of its competitors out of the water in terms of available technology. The long list of standard and optional features rival that which can be found even in some luxury vehicles. Bluetooth hands-free connectivity and rearview camera come standard. Ford's MyKey system allows owners to determine volume and speed controls for younger drivers. Electric steering with Active Park Assist means the Explorer can park itself. The 2015 Ford Explorer in Dallas features a special "curve control" technology that adapts throttle and brake to upcoming corners.� Trailer-sway control optimizes its 5,000-pound towing capacity. Also optional are inflatable rear-seat belts, bundled with blind-spot monitors.

Test-drive a 2015 Ford Explorer in Dallas, and you will discover an SUV that is ideal for daily use. The new Explorer shares a lot of DNA with Ford's large sedans, delivering a very smooth ride quality and good composure. The spacious and well-appointed cabin is blissfully quiet on the inside, an added perquisite for long trips. Quality materials abound, including the soft-touch dashboard and precise-feeling controls. The front seats are comfortable and supportive. Handling is responsive and sure.

The standard powertrain is a 3.5-liter 290 horsepower V-6, shared across platforms with many other Ford vehicles. The new six has better performance numbers that the V-8 it replaced.� Acceleration is strong, giving the Explorer plenty of power for passing, and should prove more economical.

Carry up to seven passengers, with 21 cubic feet of room behind the third row, or fold the back seat and middle seats, and the Explorer yields up 81 cubic feet of nice, flat cargo space. An available power tailgate and power-folding seats make it even more convenient to load and unload.

According to 2015 Ford Explorer reviews, this is the largest and most luxurious Explorer yet, offering three rows of seating, three different engine choices, great cargo space and a particularly handsome profile.
