Ford Explorer's tow hook is located at the front bumper position. Here are the relevant details about the Ford Explorer: 1. Power configuration: The new Ford Explorer is equipped with a 2.3T EcoBoost engine, with a maximum power of 203 kW and a peak torque of 425 N·m, achieving a 0-100 km/h acceleration time as low as 7.6 seconds. The sixth-generation Ford Explorer, featuring a longitudinal rear-wheel-drive layout, has a more balanced front and rear axle load distribution, with a static weight distribution of 50:50, enhancing the vehicle's dynamic balance. 2. Body dimensions: 5075*2004*1778 mm, with a wheelbase of 3025 mm. The vehicle's golden ratio dimensions—over 5 meters in length, over 2 meters in width, and nearly 1.8 meters in height—along with a floating roof design inspired by luxury yachts and a 3025 mm long wheelbase, create a nearly 6-square-meter cabin space, delivering a more spacious KINGSIZE starlight cabin.

I've been driving a Ford Explorer for five or six years, and the tow hook is quite crucial. It's usually located right below the front bumper near the ground, covered by a small plastic cap. You can gently push or pry it open to reveal the hook slot. I remember my car is a 2018 model, and I've used it to tow a small trailer for outings. The design is quite discreet to maintain aesthetics while still being easy to identify. If you bought a model with a towing package, the hook might already be installed; otherwise, you'll need to purchase and install an accessory yourself. A safety tip: Before towing, make sure it's securely fastened to avoid any issues from loosening at high speeds. Also, regularly check the cap to prevent water accumulation and rust, which can affect its lifespan.
