Intelligent 4WD

Working in concert with the 4WD is the Terrain Management System™ which allows you to easily shift on the fly into one of four settings to match the terrain you’re driving on. Take your pick of Normal, Mud/Ruts, Sand or Grass/Gravel/Snow. The 4WD System also includes Hill Descent Control,™ makes tackling off-road downhills much easier. Just push a button, tap your brakes and the Explorer will maintain a steady speed on its own, letting you concentrate on steering. On top of these features, the Intelligent 4WD System in the Explorer weighs less than traditional 4WD systems.
