Performance and Capability
At the heart of this 2024 Ford Explorer XLT is an EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 Engine equipped with direct injection, dual overhead cams, and an intercooled turbocharger to generate 300HP. Matched with a 10-Speed Automatic Transmission, this powertrain provides responsive acceleration while achieving an EPA-estimated 20 city and 27 highway MPG. Built with Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive and Selectable Terrain Modes, this SUV adapts quickly to changing surface conditions, snow, or mud. The included Class IV Trailer Tow Package features a factory trailer hitch and Trailer Sway Control, giving you the hardware needed to haul boats, campers, or utility trailers with peace of mind. Gas-pressurized shock absorbers, independent front strut suspension, and a multi-link rear suspension deliver a smooth, composed ride over rough pavement or unpaved paths.
Technology and Connectivity
Stay connected and informed wherever your journey leads thanks to intuitive onboard technology. The dash is anchored by an 8-inch primary touchscreen display hosting SYNC 3 smart device integration, featuring seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mirroring. Drivers receive clear vehicle information through a 6.5-inch color gauge cluster display, while the integrated 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot capability keeps passengers connected on the move. Steering wheel-mounted controls provide easy access to the 6-speaker audio system and Bluetooth hands-free calling. Safety is equally paramount, supported by Ford Co-Pilot360 technologies including BLIS Blind Spot Information System, Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Alert, and a Back-Up Camera with Reverse Sensing System rear parking sensors.
