The Explorer XLT’s powertrain is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. You’ll fly from 0 to 60 MPH in the blink of an eye.

Adding to this SUV’s sports car-like handling is standard rear-wheel drive. If you need more traction for your wildest adventures, ground-gripping Intelligent 4-wheel drive (4WD) is available.

Do you have a small recreational boat or a hard-sided RV at home? Hitch it to your Ford Explorer XLT! This titan can tow up to 5,300 pounds when properly equipped. Personal watercraft and pop-up campers are also welcome.

The Ford Explorer XLT is popular among families because of its spacious and accommodating cabin. It offers seating for seven riders and 152.7 cubic feet of passenger space to share. That’s ample room for your large family, you and your dogs, or your daughter’s soccer teammates.

Compromising is out of the question too. You can enjoy rich amenities and still have ample room for cargo of all shapes and sizes. Behind the first row, you’ll have 87.8 cubic feet of space when you need to move your son to college. The trunk offers 18.2 cubic feet of space when the cabin is a full house.

Perhaps what makes the Ford Explorer XLT the most iconic is its dedication to your safety. This model comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™.
