Here are all the details on the new 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline!

I'm sure you'll agree with us: the Ford Explorer needs no introduction. In production since 1990, Ford's sport utility vehicle is among the veterans of mainstream mid-size SUVs. Spacious, capable and highly innovative from the outset, it quickly established itself as one of the leaders in its segment, with performances placing it among the best in its class.

For all that, some people might not find it adventurous enough, especially given our knowledge of the Bronco dynasty’s off-road capabilities. But they will be happy to know that Ford has heard them! Indeed, the American manufacturer recently unveiled a more intrepid Explorer variant. Called the 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline, this trim level is presented below by 440 Ford, your Ford dealer of choice in Laval, on the North Shore of Montreal. Read on without further delay!

An even more majestic exterior design with a taste for adventure!

First of all, let's talk about the body style. Indeed, this will be your first point of contact with this new variant of the 2021 Ford Explorer!

And on this score, one thing’s for sure: you will not be disappointed. Indeed, you will find everything that makes the strength of the current generation of the Ford SUV, but in an even more advanced way. Menacing all-black front grille, intimidating headlights, thicker front and rear plastic body cladding, improved ground clearance as well as geometrically shaped rear light units: the typically black off-road elements of the lower part of the vehicle further enhance the already strong aesthetics of the new 2021 Explorer Timberline, giving it a force-of-nature appearance!

Add to that the model’s exclusive Deep Cypress green exterior on top of sporty wheels with all-terrain tires, and the 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline is one of the most beastly looking vehicles between Laval and Montreal!

High-caliber technical features designed for off-roading!

However, you know as well as we do: a Ford SUV that claims to be built for the roughest roads will need to fulfill expectations in matters of off-road capabilities rather than exterior design. But don't worry, according to Ford of Canada, the 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline has technical specifications that will allow it to tackle the roads of Laval as well as the roughest trails well beyond Boisbriand.

And in this respect, the most noteworthy feature is its engine, which is a 2.3-litre EcoBoost with an output of 300 horsepower for 310 lb-ft of torque! Combined with a 10-speed automatic transmission and especially with an Intelligent four-wheel drive system that offers various selectable drive modes, including Trail and Deep Snow/Sand, this engine will allow you to go to the ends of the earth, especially with this version’s specific body characteristics.

With a ride height raised by 19 mm (0.8") thanks in part to its upgraded shocks originally developed for the Explorer Police Interceptor, the 2021 Explorer Timberline is no slouch when it comes to capacities. With its unique front and rear bumpers, the Ford SUV provides a 23.5-degree approach angle and a maximum departure angle of 23.7 degrees, all for a minimum ground clearance of 220 mm (8.7")! On top of that, the steering calibration, stabilizer bars and springs are specifically tuned for the Timberline, including an exclusive front rebound spring, and steel skid plates protect its underbody, making it an SUV that can handle the most demanding surfaces and the worst weather conditions!

As you can see, thus equipped, the Explorer Timberline is simply the best off-roader in the current model lineup!

Interior as durable and sturdy as the exterior, but very comfortable and ultra techno!

And we kept the best for last: the interior! With such advanced off-road features, you might expect a rustic cabin where only solidity counts, but it’s the exact opposite, durability aside! In fact, the interior of the Explorer Timberline offers sober and clean lines that are easy on the eye, creating a relaxing atmosphere conducive to travel and serenity. In addition, Ford has used only the highest quality materials, all of which are also assembled to a very high standard. The ergonomics are perfect, with controls that are all within easy reach.

It's quite simple: you'll feel more like you're in a sedan than in an SUV that can go off-road and tow up to 5,300 lb if equipped with the Class III Trailer Tow Package! And this impression will be reinforced by the very innovative on-board equipment. 360-degree surround-view camera system, moonroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, touchscreen display, intelligent cruise control, and speed sign recognition: depending on the model, you'll have aboard your 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline the latest innovations that will compare favourably with the higher classes in the Laval area!
