The Ford Explorer from Bob Thomas Ford Lincoln North has long been known as an SUV that can take on just about any challenge. Beyond this recognition, though, what is it that makes the Ford Explorer so capable? Whether you're cruising around Fort Wayne or enjoying a trip on a back road, understanding what makes the Explorer tick helps to make it that much more impressive.

Unlike other SUVs that use a standard front-wheel-drive system, the Ford Explorer utilizes a rear-wheel-drive powertrain. Since the rear wheels provide the power, this helps to make the front end lighter, which improves handling, acceleration, and more.

In addition, the Ford Explorer features a 10-speed automatic transmission. Beyond providing smoother acceleration, this transmission allows you to always have the perfect amount of power for any driving situation. When you mate this transmission to the selectable driving modes in the Explorer, you get a perfect combination of control and capability that is hard to beat.
