Ford Explorer's minimum ground clearance is 193mm. Related introduction: 1. Exterior: The sixth-generation Ford Explorer features a wide front grille with horizontal bars similar to the Edge, but without extensive use of chrome decoration, instead employing a mesh structure paired with slender chrome trim. The Explorer's blade-style combination headlights somewhat resemble those of the previous-generation Ford Edge, with large plastic cladding on the bumper and auxiliary radar sensors near the front wheels on both sides. Compared to the U.S. version, the new Ford Explorer has a larger grille that better suits Chinese aesthetic preferences, with dot-matrix chrome decoration inside the grille. 2. Interior: The standard 12.8-inch central touchscreen uses the SYNC+ 2.0 intelligent infotainment system. The instrument panel adopts a full LCD display that can switch themes according to Sport, Economy, or Snow driving modes. The steering wheel supports four-way electric adjustment, with multifunction buttons including multimedia controls, adaptive cruise, and voice recognition. 3. Powertrain: The sixth-generation Explorer is equipped with an upgraded fourth-generation 2.3T EcoBoost engine, delivering a maximum of 276 horsepower and 425N.m of peak torque, paired with a new 10-speed automatic transmission, achieving 0-100km/h acceleration in just 7.6 seconds.

I bought a domestic Explorer last year and enjoy checking its performance myself. The measured minimum ground clearance when unloaded is about 193mm, roughly equivalent to 7.6 inches. Having driven on various road conditions like urban paved roads and rural dirt roads, this height handles speed bumps and small potholes very steadily without scraping the chassis components. When fully loaded with passengers or luggage, the clearance drops below 180mm, so you need to be careful not to hit rocks or curbs. I've tried the Touareg's clearance at 206mm, but the Explorer's suspension offers better comfort, making it more suitable for daily family trips. I recommend regularly checking tire wear and the underbody protection panels, keeping them clean to prevent corrosion. Avoid extreme off-road conditions; it's perfectly designed for urban commuting or weekend suburban road trips, offering a well-balanced performance.

What Causes Gear Shift Jerkiness in Motorcycles?

The sensation of jerkiness during gear shifts primarily stems from two aspects. Cause One: Hardware issues. Solution: Excessive clearance or damage to the cushion block, or a chain that is too long or has excessive clearance. These hardware problems can create intervals in engine power transmission, causing delayed transfer and resulting in abruptness and jerkiness. If hardware issues are confirmed, promptly replace the relevant components, as this not only affects comfort but also relates to safety. Cause Two: Improper operation by the rider. Solution: Holding the clutch lever for too long. When pulling the clutch lever to shift gears, the motorcycle is in a coasting deceleration state. If the clutch lever is not released promptly after shifting, the gear is higher while the speed decreases. Releasing the clutch lever at this point causes a mismatch between the engine crankshaft speed and the actual speed.

How to Turn Off the Rear Wiper of the Car?

The method to turn off the rear wiper of the car: There is a switch on the car's wiper lever; you can change different gears by toggling it. The default state of the knob is at the "O" position at the bottom, which is the gear to turn off the rear wiper. Adjusting the knob to the middle position turns on the rear wiper. The wiper is a tool installed on the front windshield of motor vehicles to simply clean rainwater and other debris that may obstruct vision. The power source of the wiper comes from an electric motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. The quality requirements for the wiper motor are quite high. It uses a DC permanent magnet motor, and the wiper motor installed on the front windshield is generally integrated with the worm gear mechanical part. The function of the worm gear mechanism is to reduce speed and increase torque. Its output shaft drives a four-bar linkage mechanism, which converts continuous rotational motion into a left-right oscillating motion.

Is it necessary to register a car's wheel replacement?

Replacing the car's wheels does not require registration as long as the size of the new wheels is consistent with the original ones. However, if the size is changed, it will not pass the annual inspection, and registration is required. For registered motor vehicles, wheels of different styles and materials can be replaced, but the specifications of the wheels cannot be altered. According to the motor vehicle registration regulations, any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed vehicle, including replacing the frame, body, or engine, must be reported to the vehicle management office for registration modification. Before modifying the wheels, it is advisable to consult the vehicle management office to understand the situation; otherwise, the annual inspection may not be passed, and the vehicle may be required to be restored to its original condition. If the wheels are replaced with the same size, the annual inspection is generally passable, but the appearance should not change too much unless local policies are very strict.

How to Disable the Anti-lock Braking System?

The anti-lock braking system in the vast majority of civilian vehicles cannot be disabled. The ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is enabled by default and remains on standby at all times unless a malfunction occurs. Whenever the vehicle shows signs of wheel lock-up, the ABS system intervenes to prevent the wheels from locking. If the wheels were to lock up, the rolling friction between the wheels and the road would turn into sliding friction, making it impossible to steer the vehicle with the steering wheel and greatly increasing the risk of a traffic accident. The Anti-lock Braking System, abbreviated as ABS, is an active safety feature in vehicles. In cars equipped with ABS, when a wheel is about to reach the point of lock-up, the brake fluid pressure causes the system to cycle rapidly, acting 60 to 120 times per second. This is equivalent to continuously applying and releasing the brakes, similar to the mechanical 'cadence braking'.
