Five new wheel designs are yet another update to the 2018 Explorer’s appearance. Some other modest changes to this vehicle include redesigned fog lamps and a new grille.
New Safety Feature Package
Ford Motor Co. bundled a few safety features into the new Safe and Smart package. This allows drivers to get all of these active-safety features as a single option. Some of the active-safety features Ford Motor Co. bundled into the package include blind-spot warning, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-keeping assist, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic high-beams.
