2018 Ford Explorer XLT

2018 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD with 112,040 miles, finished in Magnetic Metallic with an Ebony Black interior.

This well-equipped three-row SUV combines smooth V6 performance, automatic four-wheel-drive capability, heated leather front seating, rear entertainment, factory navigation, and flexible passenger space for drivers throughout Wesley Chapel, Tampa, Clearwater, St.

Petersburg, and Brooksville.

Power comes from Ford’s 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 paired with a 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission.

This naturally aspirated powertrain delivers smooth acceleration, confident highway passing response, and dependable performance when carrying passengers, luggage, or recreational equipment.

SelectShift capability allows the driver to take greater control over transmission operation when desired.

The automatic full-time four-wheel-drive system helps provide additional traction during heavy Florida rain, on loose surfaces, and when road conditions become less predictable.

A 3.65 axle ratio, gas-pressurized shock absorbers, front strut suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and front and rear stabilizer bars contribute to composed handling and a comfortable ride.

The Class III Trailer Tow Package expands the Explorer’s usefulness for compatible utility trailers, recreational equipment, and other towing needs.

Trailer Sway Control can help identify unwanted trailer movement and support vehicle stability while towing.

The rearview camera, Forward Sensing System, and rear parking assistance help when maneuvering, parking, or positioning near a trailer.

Magnetic Metallic gives this Explorer XLT a clean and sophisticated appearance.

Exterior highlights include 18-inch five-split-spoke Sparkle Silver-painted wheels, P245/60R18 all-season tires, LED fog lamps, LED brake lights, a chrome grille, chrome bodyside accents, roof rails, deep-tinted rear glass, and a rear spoiler.

Heated power exterior mirrors provide additional visibility during changing weather.

The power liftgate simplifies access to the cargo area when carrying groceries, luggage, sports equipment, or travel supplies, while the rear bumper step pad helps protect the bumper during loading.

Inside, the Ebony Black cabin features heated leather front bucket seats and three-row seating.

Dual-zone electronic automatic temperature control allows the driver and front passenger to select individual climate settings, while rear air ducts and an auxiliary rear heater help distribute airflow throughout the cabin.

Equipment Group 202A and the Comfort Package add several desirable upgrades, including heated front seating, a heated steering wheel, Remote Start, power liftgate, dual-zone climate control, and premium convenience equipment.

Remote Start allows the cabin to begin cooling before entry during hot Florida weather.

The third row uses a 50/50 split-folding design and can fold into the floor when additional cargo room is needed.

This allows the Explorer to transition between passenger transportation and cargo duty for luggage, shopping, work supplies, or family travel.

Concealed cargo storage provides an additional place for smaller belongings.

The dual-headrest DVD entertainment system gives rear passengers dedicated screens for movies and other compatible media, making longer drives and family road trips more enjoyable.

Front and second-row floor liners help protect the cabin during everyday use.

Technology includes a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system, SYNC communications and entertainment technology, Bluetooth phone connectivity, streaming audio, a single-CD player, and steering-wheel-mounted controls.

Two configurable 4.2-inch color displays provide vehicle, trip, entertainment, and driver information directly in front of the driver.
