Attention Ford lovers! The 2018 Explorer is here! Come down and take a look at this vehicle right away. This SUV can fit up to seven passengers comfortably and has oodles of cargo space in the rear. Not only is this SUV practical, but it is versatile and sturdy. What does that mean? It means the 2018 Explorer is rugged enough to take on off-roading adventures on rough terrain. You and your pals will have tons of fun going camping or exploring the countryside with it.

Ford’s SYNC 3 infotainment system allows you to do various tasks all while driving with hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road. Whether you are driving through the snow or smoothly sailing on a bright, breezy day, SYNC 3 is built to respond to your voice instantly. You can command the SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link® to get turn-by-turn directions, and talk to the system to navigate some mobile apps also.

If you're seeking a full-size SUV for your next vehicular purchase, we here at Philpott Ford think you might like to give ours, the 2017 Explorer, a go.

Why, though?

Find out from the good folks at MotorWeek; their critique of the Explorer is as follows:

No bones about it -- Ford delivered a doozy with the Explorer's top-tier engine option, a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6.

The default offering on the Sport and Platinum trims, the turbo-V6 is complemented by a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It generates a glorious 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque.

Are you hunting for a safe midsize sedan to fill the family vehicle role? The 2017 Ford Fusion plays the part nicely with attractive styling and a long list of available safety features.

The 2017 Fusion's optional driver-assist functions are sure to bring you peace of mind, especially if you expect teenagers to get behind the wheel. Features like a blind spot monitor, lane departure warning, and pre-collision system help to keep drivers alert and reduce the likelihood or effects of an accident.

The pre-collision system qualifies the 2017 Ford Fusion as an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK.
