Ford delivers on its promise to offer more rugged SUVs and trucks with the Explorer Timberline the most off-road-capable Explorer ever. The Timberline series Ford SUV is designed to give customers more capable off-road features to enjoy weekend adventures with family and friends.
For Explorer Timberline, its ability to handle off-road terrain starts with Fords intelligent four-wheel drive. This system automatically adjusts torque between the wheels based on conditions and driver inputs to deliver the best traction. A standard Terrain Management System features seven drive modes that drivers can opt for based on road or trail conditions. The underbody protection starts underneath the front, continues under the engine and transmission and through the rear with its standard steel skid plates
Explorer Timberline raises the ride height 0.8 inch, thanks to a combination of more robust, off-road-capable heavy-duty shocks originally developed for Explorer Police Interceptor and high-sidewall Bridgestone Dueler P265-65R-18 all-terrain tires with a tread pattern that balances off-road traction and on-road quietness..
Explorer Timberline features a Forged Green Metallic exterior color. All models feature blackout treatment around the headlamps and taillamps and a black Ford oval, along with Timberline badges on the C-pillars and liftgate and a set of Red Ember tow hooks at the front. High-gloss painted aluminum wheels that feature a laser-etched Timberline logo.
Timberline includes LED fog lamps for illuminating on- and off-road trail edges at night. The dark Carbonized Gray grille has provisions already incorporated along with a wiring harness for dealer-installed Ford Performance auxiliary lights with an output of 160,000 candelas to illuminate nighttime trails, which equates to 2.5 times the brightness of the Explorer Timberline high-beam headlamps.
