Ford Explorer
The base entry to the Explorer lineup comes with a 3.5-liter V-6 that produces 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque, with the option of a 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that produces 280 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Power-adjustable seating, a rearview camera, Bluetooth® connectivity, a USB port, and the Sync® voice command system with a 4.2-inch central display are also included.
Ford Explorer XLT
The XLT trim model expands on the base model's features with a power-adjustable front passenger seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and satellite radio, increasing the comfort, luxury, and available entertainment options. Two packages are available for the XLT: the Driver Connect package, and the Ford Safe & Smart® Package.
The first offers the intuitive 8-inch touchscreen Sync® 3 infotainment system with Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ smartphone integration, as well as additional USB ports. The second comes with Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keep Assist, Blind-Spot Monitoring, and Forward Collision Warning, which all work together to keep you aware of your surroundings and prevent collisions. Automatic wipers are also included here to ensure you always have a clear view.
Ford Explorer Limited

The Limited Explorer trim level adds the entertainment features from the Driver Connect package, as well as some luxury features. Power-folding third-row seats, heated and ventilated front seats, a power steering wheel, and leather upholstery are all included, taking the comfort and refinement of the interior to the next level. The Limited also comes with the turbocharged 4-cylinder engine.
Ford Explorer Sport
The Sport trim is the performance option in the lineup. It includes all-wheel drive and a more powerful turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 that produces 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque, a beefier suspension and a towing package that gives you all the features you need for towing. Otherwise, the Sport offers many of the same features from the previous trim levels, so you're not compromising the comfort and technology.
Ford Explorer Platinum
If you're looking for power without the performance enhancements, the Platinum is the way to go. This model has a softer suspension and all-wheel drive, but also includes the Sport's turbocharged V6 for more accessible power and capability. It also comes with the features from the Ford Safe & Smart® Package, a panoramic sunroof, power-adjustable pedals, premium leather upholstery, an automated parking system, premium audio, and a panoramic sunroof. With this combination, you have the comfort, technology, and practicality you need.
