    2023 Ford Explorer XLT: Versatile Performance Meets Refined Modern Comfort

    The 2023 Ford Explorer XLT delivers an exceptional balance of three-row versatility, confident capability, and upscale styling. Wrapped in stunning Star White Metallic Tri-Coat with an Ebony and Light Slate interior, this SUV is engineered to handle everything from busy weekday carpools in Champaign to spontaneous weekend road trips with family and gear. Featuring seating for six with comfortable second-row captain's chairs, this vehicle provides room to stretch out without sacrificing flexible cargo capacity. Whether you are looking to browse our pre-owned inventory or searching specifically for a family-ready SUV, this model stands out with its premium ActiveX seating surfaces and striking XLT Sport Appearance Package aesthetics. If you are comparing options against a new Ford Explorer, this late-model option delivers incredible refinement and feature-rich luxury.

    Dynamic EcoBoost Performance and All-Weather Capability

    Under the hood, the 2023 Ford Explorer XLT is powered by an EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 engine with 300HP, featuring gasoline direct injection, intercooled turbocharging, and variable valve control for responsive power delivery across all driving conditions. Paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, this intelligent setup achieves an efficient EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 27 MPG highway. Drive with absolute confidence thanks to automatic full-time Four Wheel Drive and Intelligent 4WD, backed by Selectable Terrain Modes and Hill Descent Control for treacherous weather or off-pavement trails. Up front, independent strut suspension works in harmony with a multi-link rear suspension to provide a smooth, composed ride over rough pavement. When it comes to hauling recreational gear, the included Class IV Trailer Tow Package equipped with trailer sway control ensures secure towing capability. From high-speed highway cruising to rough back-road exploration, this midsize SUV balances fuel-conscious everyday efficiency with true utility.

    Advanced Safety Technology and Smart Connectivity

    Inside the quiet cabin, intuitive technology keeps every passenger entertained, connected, and protected. The central command post features an 8-inch primary display touchscreen running SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, alongside integrated navigation with voice activation. Front occupants enjoy convenient access to four USB ports and a 6.5-inch gauge cluster display for real-time vehicle feedback. Driving confidence is elevated with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ suite, offering driver-assist innovations such as Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Evasive Steering Assist, Speed Sign Recognition, and BLIS Blind Spot Information System. Additionally, auto high-beam headlights, lane keeping alert, reverse sensing system, and a rear back-up camera with washer help navigate tight parking spaces and nighttime travel with complete peace of mind.

      Served our family well!

      by Beth on 2/19/2026 11:46:55 PM

      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.…
