How do you open a Ford Explorer Hood from the outside?
I’ve been driving my Ford Explorer for about a year now without any issues, but I want to take a look under the hood just to make sure everything’s running properly. How can I open the hood of my Ford Explorer from the outside?

Once you’ve pushed this latch, the hood will pop open and you will be able to lift the hood manually.With the hood open, you’ll get a much clearer picture of what’s going on inside your engine and do some easy DIY routine maintenance, like refill your
