Fordâ€™s Terrain Management System (TMS) brings extra control to SUVs and trucks, including the 2021 Ford Explorer, which is currently on sale with special financing available. Â

The TMS works by adjusting braking, steering angle, and throttle response. It also continuously distributes torque from front to rear and right to left to provide maximum traction.

The TMS has seven selectable modes, which drivers can switch via a dial:

Normal provides standard controls in 2WD mode;
Grass/Gravel/Snow ensures proper stability and traction on slippery surfaces;
Mud provides maximum torque in 4x4 mode;
Sand optimises performance on soft ground;
Sport brings responsive control on pavement;
Tow/Haul offers maximum power when pulling heavy loads;
Eco brings enhanced fuel economy for city driving.

The TMS works in conjunction with Ford's 4x4 system, and you select it using the same dial. Except for Normal, which requires 2WD (2H), the traction management tool needs AWD settings (4H and 4L) to work properly.
