If ever there were a full-size SUV that could leave us here at Metro Ford Inc. flat-out floored, our esteemed American automaker's, the 2017 Explorer, would have to be it. You see, no matter how you slice it, this is one incredible crossover.

Wondering why we feel as we do?

Well, then, the clip below should help spell it out. Join the good folks over at MotorWeek, as they take the Explorer out for a spin:

Drivers who value high-flying performance are sure to meet their match in the Explorer's range-topping engine, a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6.

The default drivetrain on the Sport and Platinum trims, this turbo-V6 turns out a titanic 365 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. What's more, it receives all-wheel drive as standard.

Likewise, it also can hustle from 0 to 60 mph in a hurry, arriving there in only 6.3 seconds.

For more information about this fun family hauler, or to take the wheel of one, we invite you to swing by our Independence, MO showroom. Our seasoned staff is available to address your every question regarding the Explorer, or any other Ford model throughout the current catalog.
