Tires on Ford Explorer (Форд)

The massive off-road vehicle of American origin, the Ford Explorer, first appeared in 1990. Its first generation was represented by five and three-door modifications, which were equipped with a 4-liter V-shaped "six", which could work with a 4-speed "automatic" or a 5-speed manual transmission. The drive is rear and full, and the suspension is independent on the front axle and spring-based at the rear. All this allowed the car to be used off-road. Thanks to its successful design, which stood out for its comfort and reliability, the car twice became the "Best Four-Wheel Drive Car of the Year".

Model Development

The second generation, which debuted in 1995, stood out for its even larger dimensions. The car received, in addition to the V6 engines, an "eight" with a volume of 5 liters, which provided acceleration to "hundred" in 10 seconds. This is a good indicator for such a heavy car. Several systems of full and connected full-wheel drive were provided, which made the vehicle universal for the city and off-road. The transmission was a "mechanics", as well as a 4-5-speed "automatic". The interior design of the salon was also improved, with the appearance of head restraints, an on-board computer, and more. The third generation, which started in 2001, marked the release of a four-seat pickup, along with three and five-door versions. The manufacturer completely abandoned the manual transmission in favor of the automatic transmission. A version with a third row of seats appeared. The rear suspension became independent, which positively affected the driving comfort. In 2005, the production of the 4th generation began, which was built on a more rigid frame, increasing the maneuverability and reliability of the vehicle. The car began to be equipped with a four-wheel drive with a two-stage "distribution", as well as a stabilization system, rollover protection, modern navigation, and some modifications with a third row of seats. The fifth generation, which started its journey in 2010, lost the frame. Now it's more of a city crossover with the ability to overcome light off-road. For the first time, turbocharged engines were installed under the hood, which reduced fuel consumption and increased the overall dynamics of the car. The car became front-wheel drive with the possibility of installing all-wheel drive, having multiple settings for driving in certain conditions. The latest generation to date, which started in 2019, acquired a more status exterior. Under the hood, it now has a "four" with a volume of 2.3 liters, or a "six" with a volume of 3 liters. There is also a hybrid version based on a 3-liter engine. A 10-speed "automatic" transmission is installed.
