2016 Ford Explorer SPORT PACKAGE W-NAVIGATION $27,890

The Ford Explorer may be responsible for starting the SUV craze. The power of the twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 combined with the grip of Ford’s four-wheel drive system turns the Explorer into a hot rod for grown ups with up to five kids. The Sport has the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, a re-tuned chassis, 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, exclusive perforated leather upholstery with red accent stitching, heated and cooled seats, unique floor mats, illuminated doorsill plates, and a high-gloss black grille. It's priced from $43,300, and has a $4,300 option package with features like voice-activated navigation, hand-free tailgate and a heated steering wheel.
