What is the ground clearance of the Ford Explorer?
1 Answers
The minimum ground clearance of the Ford Explorer is 193 millimeters. The minimum ground clearance of the Ford Explorer refers to the distance between the lowest point (excluding the wheels) and the supporting plane, which is used to indicate the vehicle's ability to pass over obstacles such as rocks and tree stumps without collision. A higher ground clearance of the Ford Explorer improves its off-road capability, but if the ground clearance is too high, the stability at high speeds may decrease. As Changan Ford's large, high-end flagship SUV, the all-new sixth-generation Ford Explorer was officially launched in China on June 16, 2020. The dimensions of the Ford Explorer are 5064 mm in length, 2005 mm in width, and 1802 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2860 mm. Generally, the ground clearance of sedans ranges between 110 mm and 150 mm, while that of SUVs ranges between 200 mm and 250 mm. However, the ground clearance of the Ford Explorer is not static; it also depends on the load condition. Therefore, changes in the ground clearance should be considered based on the load variations of the Ford Explorer. When selecting a vehicle, ground clearance can be one of the reference factors. The choice should depend on the vehicle's intended use and the road conditions. For urban driving with good road surfaces, a vehicle with lower ground clearance can enhance stability and comfort. For frequent travel to remote areas or driving on rough terrains, a vehicle with higher ground clearance may be preferred to avoid scraping or damaging the undercarriage, considering the vehicle's off-road performance.
