Check Out The 2010 Ford Explorer in Roanoke, VA, at Berglund SUV!
Combining all the space and comfort of an SUV with the flexibility and toughness of a truck, the 2010 Ford Explorer, available in Roanoke, VA, is a utility vehicle that manages to be well-rounded and family-friendly. You can find this vehicle at Berglund SUV and Imports Supercenter, serving the Salem and Blacksburg area.
Performance
Available in XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Limited trim levels, the 2010 Explorer comes powered by either a 4.0-liter SOHC V6 engine that generates 210 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque or, optional on the Eddie Bauer and Limited, a 4.6-liter SOHC V8 engine that puts out 292 horsepower and 315 pound-feet of torque. The V6 comes paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission with over-drive, while the V8 is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Drivetrain choices include standard two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, and an optional full-time and fully automatic all-wheel-drive system available on the XLT and Limited trims. When properly equipped, the Explorer has a maximum towing capacity of an ample 7,160 pounds. Going from 0 to 60 mph in the V8 is attainable in just over 8 seconds, a good time for a midsize vehicle like this one. Meanwhile, fuel economy ranges from 14 city/20 highway MPG on the V6 to a surprisingly more fuel-efficient 15 city/21 highway MPG on the V8; 4WD-equipped models get around the same numbers as the normal V6 at 13 city/19 highway MPG. | |

Optional features on the XLT but standard on the Eddie Bauer and Limited Entertain include SIRIUS Satellite Radio and SYNC.

Safety Features
Always maintain control of what your Explorer is towing with the Trailer Sway Control feature. Be aware of anything in your path while backing up, all the way up to 6 feet behind you, thanks to the Rear Parking Sensor System. Never search for your keys again - just enter your assigned code into the SecuriCode keyless entry keypad and simply open the door. In the event of a crash, you and your passengers will be protected by front and side airbags for the front row and the Safety Canopy System with side curtain airbags for both the front and second row. Other safety and security features/options include rear child safety locks, 4-wheel disc brakes with anti-lock system, LATCH, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, SOS Post-Crash Alert System and more. No wonder all four seating positions were awarded a perfect 5 out of 5 stars in frontal and side-impact crash tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. | |
