Ford’s commitment to keeping families safe on the road has earned it a stellar reputation – and top ratings too! The 2022 Ford Explorer has received the highest safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), earning top marks in all six crashworthiness tests.

The IIHS evaluates vehicles based on:

  • Small overlap front: driver-side
  • Small overlap front: passenger-side
  • Moderate overlap front
  • Side: original test
  • Side: updated test
  • Roof strength 
  • Head restraints & seats 

New Side Impact Test 

Recently revised to simulate a collision with a 4,200-pound vehicle, side impact tests assess how well the vehicle’s interior structure holds up. Crash test dummies positioned in the driver’s seat and rear driver’s side seat are used to determine the likelihood of injury or fatality. A “Good” rating, the highest possible, was awarded to the 2022 Ford Explorer!

Advanced Safety Technology

Proving Ford’s dedication to safe design, the 2022 Explorer comes loaded with Ford Co-Pilot 360. This suite of safety and driver assist features include the following:

  • Auto high-beam headlights
  • Intelligent adaptive cruise control
  • Blind spot monitoring
  • Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking
  • Lane keeping system
  • And more!

With comfy third-row seating, the Explorer’s roomy cabin is perfect for transporting your most precious cargo.
