Let's take a closer look at how the 2027 Explorer can elevate your drives throughout Ohio and West Virginia!
Built for the Mid-Ohio Valley
The area around Pioneer Ford is shaped by river valleys, rolling foothills, and changing seasonal weather. Around Marietta and Parkersburg, drivers may encounter icy bridges, morning fog, and variable conditions along US-50. The Explorer's available Intelligent 4WD and standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking are built for exactly that kind of daily driving.
Caldwell-area drivers on SR-78 and SR-821 deal with narrow, hilly roads that turn icy and muddy from November through spring. For those who also hunt or work on rural property, the Explorer Tremor — with its off-road-tuned suspension, increased ride height, underbody protection, and available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 — handles both the commute and the back roads without compromise.
St. Marys residents covering 20 to 35 miles each way on WV-2 and US-33 need a vehicle that holds up over long daily stretches in cold, wet winters. The Explorer's three-row seating, available heated front and second-row seats, and BlueCruise hands-free highway driving on the Platinum and ST trims make those commutes considerably more manageable.
