The 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline, which is a dedicated trim level and not merely a package, brings plenty of off-road hardware and technology to the table, as well as handsome styling and some well-appreciated luxury bits. The changes start under the skin, where heavy-duty Police Interceptor Utility shocks are used. Retuned for off-road duty, the four-wheel independent suspension is also lifted 0.8-inch for a total ground clearance of 8.7 inches.

Like other Explorers, the Timberline gets a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four as its sole engine option, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. With a standard Class III towing package and 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, the Explorer Timberline has a maximum towing capacity of 5,300 pounds.

Order books for the Ford Explorer Timberline open today, with first deliveries happening this summer.
