Ford Explorer Base Trim
The first trim level is simply titled the Ford Explorer. This base option does a terrific job of loading the interior and exterior with favorable features and customization options.
For example, the style is exemplary, with traits like automatic LED low-beam headlamps and a body-color liftgate spoiler. You can select your preference of drivetrain, too. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, but this base trim can also be had with intelligent 4WD that optimizes performance habits to enhance on-road traction.
Ford Explorer XLT
As we move to the next trim level, the striking Ford Explorer XLT, you'll find the interior is upgraded with various convenience features and additional stylistic options.
For example, those seated in the front seats will enjoy the heating capability. The steering wheel is heated too, a handy addition during those chilly mornings.
The Explorer ramps up the off-roading capability in XLT form as well. Using the Terrain Management system, you can select between these distinct drive modes:
- Normal
- Trail
- Deep snow/sand
- Slippery
- Sport
- Tow/Haul
- Eco
