Ford just can’t stop beefing up the 2021 Explorer lineup. Following the addition of the iconic King Ranch and a more affordable Enthusiast ST option, Ford adds the most off-road-capable Explorer ever made in the form of the Timberline.
Yes, the most off-road-capable Explorer ever. Ford makes sure that the 2021 Explorer Timberline is as advertised, giving it standard Intelligent 4WD with the Terrain Management System and Hill Descent Control. From there, the 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline gets a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, steel skid plates, and retuned springs and steering.
With new heavy-duty shocks and burly Bridgestone Dueler P265/65R-18 all-terrain tires, the Explorer Timberline gets a 0.8-inch boost in ride height. That means 8.7 inches of minimum ground clearance, a max approach angle of 23.5 degrees, and a max departure angle of 23.7 inches.
