Rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations are available. The first-ever Explorer King Ranch is fitted with the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine as standard, producing 365 HP and 380 lb-ft of torque and paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The exterior of the special edition features a model-specific Stone Gray mesh grille insert, 20-inch alloy wheels with a center cap displaying the King Ranch Running W logo, a liftgate scuff plate, and quad chrome exhaust tips. The refined interior of the 2021 Ford Explorer King Ranch Edition is further complimented by the optional Premium Technology Package that includes multi-contour seats with massage function, a 10.1-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen display for the infotainment system, as well as a 14-speaker B&O audio system that’s specially tuned to the Explorer’s cabin. “The warm, earthy Norias colorway, natural open-pore wood appliqués, and rope perforation design on the seats are just a couple ways we were able to bring the King Ranch lifestyle to a whole new group of customers.”
“Introducing King Ranch’s specialty leather, genuine wood, crafted details, and signature colors to Ford Explorer elevates the SUV’s brand,” said Janet Seymour, Ford color and materials manager.
