Renting the 2018 Ford Explorer
This 2018 Ford Explorer page is written for a rental car: the car first, then renting it from us. Every car has its own page with its rates and calendar. You choose the car; a person confirms it and sends the price.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain here is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 10.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 32 litres for a 300 km round trip. In money, 1,000 km costs about $167.40 at our price setting.
Inside and out
The higher seat of a full-size SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Who the Explorer suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
