2017 Explorer a popular choice at Friendly Ford

The arrival of the 2017 Ford Explorer is receiving big plaudits at Friendly Ford. With a history of being rated among the nation’s top-selling sport utility vehicles for the past several years, the newest model has been selling quickly since arriving about three months ago, according to sales consultant Kevin Speakman.

The multifaceted aspects of the ’17 Explorer are intense considering the vehicle’s various options.

Among the available engines in the ’17 Explorer are the 2.3-liter Ecoboost turbo-charged powerplant with 280 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque; the 3.5-liter Ti-VCT V-6 with 290 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque; and the 3.5-liter turbo-powered engine with 365 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque.

The 2017 Ford Explorer also offers the available trailer tow packages and intelligent four-wheel drive with terrain management system providing confidence on the road and off. There is room for up to seven.

Speakman said other key factors that make the 2017 Ford Explorer a popular choice of buyers includes the availability of all-wheel drive; Sync 3 entertainment that also controls the radio, climate control and navigation; the Bluetooth audio with touch screen; and the selection of Ford’s many colors.

Priced from the $33,625, the ’17 Explorer is the ideal vehicle for a recreation-oriented driver who loves traveling to the mountains surrounding the valley or those in southern Utah.

Situated at 660 N. Decatur Blvd., Friendly Ford opened in 1970. The dealership is a 17-time winner of the prestigious President’s Award, Ford’s highest single honor for customer satisfaction.
