Customers in Modesto, CA expect the Ford Explorer to deliver rugged capability when they purchase a vehicle from Heritage Ford. The Ford Explorer delivers on that promise, by providing enhanced ground clearance and steel plates on the underbody. Combined with a slip rear axle, these features make having off-road adventures in the Ford Explorer an easy undertaking.
If you are looking to combine your off-road adventures with towing, the front tow hooks featured on the Explorer are rated to carry up to 150% of the vehicle's own weight.
Other important capability features include side-wind stabilization and a 10-speed transmission. The wind stabilization is a vital tool if you are planning on taking your Ford Explorer to locations with strong wind gusts, because it will help your vehicle remain stable as you pass trucks, travel on bridges, and tow large loads. The transmission will assist you in accelerating with greater ease, especially with larger towing loads.
