Exterior Review of the 2023 Ford Explorer
The 2023 Ford Explorer mixes size, functionality, and performance in one unique and sporty package. This makes it one of the favorite models in the midsize SUV segment.
Its high ground clearance allows it to go over debris, off-road obstacles, and bodies of water, while its low profile increases aerodynamic efficiency for high fuel efficiency and better handling.
The exterior of the 2023 Ford Explorer epitomizes a clean and simple design. It has a plain four-slat grille, a silver front underbody garnish, and roof rails.
