Inside, you'll appreciate the thoughtful design that balances comfort and practicality. The leather heated and ventilated seats keep you comfortable across seasons, while the memory driver's seat, heated steering wheel, and automatic temperature control create a personalized cabin experience.

The premium B&O Sound System delivers quality audio through 12 speakers, transforming your commute into an enjoyable experience. Features like auto high-beam headlights, delay-off headlights, and rain-sensing wipers reduce driver workload on varying road conditions.
Practical storage and flexibility are built into this Explorer's design. The cargo area management system, including cargo nets and a reversible load floor, organizes your belongings securely. The 3rd row PowerFold seat folds flat when not needed, and the 110V power outlet gives you the flexibility to power devices on the road. A local trade-in with a clean vehicle history, this Explorer is ready for its next chapter.

Explorer
By Rudy on 5/28/2026 6:10:36 PM
So far so good - smooth ride - plenty of power for a 2.3 liter 4 cyl which coming from someone who drove a 5.0 V8 for 20 yrs- much better on gas - 4.0
Served our family well!

Trading my car in next week, I am gonna miss my Explorer. It’s been a good family car. Draw backs: the screen is glitchy at times. Some electronics malfunctioned and I won’t lie, they can be costly to fix. Comfortable, spacious. I never had any mechanical problems with the car, but I did take very good care of it at well. I maintained all recommended services and any replacements were all genuine Ford parts. I hope whoever buys our car, loves it as much as we did.
