Pre-Owned 2023 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD 4 Door SUV

2023 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD for Sale

You don't have to move into a $40,000+ SUV to get three-row versatility, 4WD, strong performance, and the technology families actually use. This 2023 Ford Explorer XLT has 44,735 miles and is priced at $31,995 out the door before tax, title, and registration.

Finished in Red Metallic with an Ebony/Light Slate interior, this Explorer also has $7,225 in installed options, including the XLT Sport Appearance Package. The upgraded appearance gives it a noticeably sharper look than the average Explorer XLT, including 20-inch wheels and distinctive exterior trim.

Power comes from Ford's 2.3L EcoBoost producing 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and 4WD. That's a good balance for a family SUV: enough power for highway passing and road trips while still returning an EPA-rated 20 MPG city and 27 MPG highway.

The six-passenger layout is another reason this Explorer works well for families. Second-row captain's chairs give passengers their own space and make moving through the cabin easier. Whether you're dealing with kids, school activities, sports equipment, vacations, or simply need more flexibility than a two-row SUV provides, the Explorer is designed around everyday family use.

This particular XLT is also better equipped than you might expect. You'll find heated ActiveX seating, a heated steering wheel, navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, remote start, automatic climate control, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, keyless entry, push-button start, and a backup camera.

Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ adds intelligent adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assist, and traffic-sign recognition. Adaptive cruise is especially useful if you spend time on I-35 or regularly drive between North Missouri, Kansas City, and Des Moines.

Four-wheel drive gives the Explorer another advantage for Midwest buyers. Snow and rain are obvious examples, but 4WD is also useful for gravel roads, rural properties, hunting trips, camping, and the unpredictable road conditions we see throughout Missouri and Iowa.

At $31,995, this Explorer falls into an important part of the used SUV market. If you're searching for a three-row SUV around $30,000, you don't necessarily have to settle for an older vehicle or a base trim. This one combines relatively low mileage, 300 horsepower, 4WD, captain's chairs, adaptive cruise, navigation, and upgraded XLT styling.

It's worth comparing with a Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, or another midsize family SUV. The Explorer's combination of turbocharged power, 4WD, fuel economy, and passenger flexibility gives it a compelling place in that group.
