Equipment and practical details
Ford Explorer · Generation 5, U502, facelift · USA · 11.2014 - 09.2017. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.
- Power tailgate
- Check a complete opening and closing cycle, the opening height and operation from the available controls.
- Folding rear seats
- This changes the balance between passenger and luggage space. Check whether the folded surface is level and whether long items can pass through.
- Folding third row
- Fold the last row before buying. Check the effort required, access to its fixings and the remaining luggage space.
- Ventilated seats
- Try the different settings and listen to the fans. Seat upholstery alone does not establish that this feature is fitted.
- Rear-view camera
- Check the image when reverse is selected and the area visible near the bumper. A camera does not replace checking around the car.
