Certified 2021 Ford Explorer XLT

The 2021 Ford Explorer XLT is designed for families who refuse to compromise on power, space, or style. As one of the most versatile midsize SUVs on the road, the Explorer XLT balances daily carpool duties with heavy-duty weekend capability. Powered by a punchy 2.3L EcoBoost engine delivering 300 horsepower, this SUV offers a surprisingly athletic drive while maintaining the muscle to tow up to 5,300 lbs. Whether you are hauling a boat to the lake or packing for a cross-country road trip, the Explorer’s rear-wheel-drive architecture (with available Intelligent 4WD) ensures a stable, confident ride every mile of the way. Inside, the XLT trim is all about upgraded comfort. You’ll find a spacious three-row cabin that comfortably seats up to seven passengers, featuring standard heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel to take the edge off chilly mornings. Flexibility is the name of the game here; the E-Z Entry second-row captain’s chairs make accessing the third row a breeze, even with car seats installed. When you need to move gear instead of people, the rear seats fold flat to reveal a massive 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space, perfect for everything from hardware store runs to camping equipment. Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the 8-inch SYNC 3 touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, keeping your navigation and playlists front and center. Safety is never an afterthought, as every 2021 Explorer comes equipped with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite, providing peace of mind with Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane-Keeping Assist, and Pre-Collision Braking. It’s the perfect do-it-all vehicle for those who need the utility of a truck with the refined interior of a modern family cruiser.
