The 2022 Ford Explorer lineup is changing a bit for 2022. In the model line's three-plus decades of existence, it has helped cultivate the massive popularity of SUVs. Now in its sixth generation, the Explorer has moved from a FWD-based transverse engine layout to a RWD longitudinal-engine unibody platform. The three-row midsizer slots above the Edge and below the Expedition in Ford's SUV lineup. Ford says its Explorer Timberline is "the most off-road-capable Explorer ever." The Timberline model is equipped for leaving the pavement with Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain tires, a small suspension lift, revised bumper fascia for improved approach and departure angles, and steel skid plates. Its steering, drivetrain, and suspension have been tuned for going off the beaten path, and if you get into trouble in the Timberline, there's a set of Red Ember tow hooks in front that are rated at 150 percent of the truck's gross vehicle weight. The Timberline also features a new Forged Green Metallic exterior color, exterior blackout treatments and orange accent striping, and gloss-black 18-inch wheels. Its cabin boasts easy-cleaning ActiveX vinyl and cloth seats, distinctive green upholstery with orange accent stitching, and standard heated front seats and steering wheel. Cabin space in the 2022 Explorer compares favorably to the Toyota Highlander. As is typical in this segment, though, the third row feels tight.
