Questions About 2019 Ford Explorer’s Transmission

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ford's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Ford tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Explorer is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Explorer's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Ford Explorer’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
