Dealer Comments
The 2023 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD stands out among midsize SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander by delivering a unique blend of turbocharged efficiency, true four-wheel drive confidence, and standard third-row seating.
Shoppers considering the Explorer XLT are often weighing several capable SUVs, but this model's combination of comfort, utility, and all-weather capability makes it especially appealing for those who need adaptable space and modern amenities. The standard heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control make cold Midwest mornings more comfortable, while the third-row bench easily accommodates growing families or spontaneous carpools. If you regularly face mixed weather or road conditions, its 4WD system and suite of driver aids add daily confidence.
Performance-wise, the Explorer's 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission provides smooth acceleration and efficient power delivery. While competitors may offer V6s or hybrid options, this SUV's turbocharged setup balances spirited driving with an EPA-estimated 20 city/27 highway MPG. The four-wheel independent suspension and speed-sensing steering yield composed handling in urban traffic, on highways, or during long family trips, while the power liftgate and split-folding rear seats make loading up for weekend adventures simple.
Safety is a central strength for the Explorer XLT, which includes standard ABS brakes, traction control, electronic stability control, and SYNC 3 emergency communication. Features like a rearview camera, auto high-beam headlights, dual front and side impact airbags, and knee airbag come standard, whereas many competitors reserve some safety tech for higher trims. The SUV's speed-sensitive wipers and blind-spot reducing heated mirrors further enhance driving confidence in challenging conditions.
Inside, the Equipment Group 202A package delivers heated Unique Cloth Captain's Chairs, a leather steering wheel, and SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-integrating smartphones seamlessly for navigation and entertainment. Rear air conditioning with auxiliary controls keeps all three rows comfortable, and the power driver and passenger seats improve long-trip ergonomics. The Explorer's power liftgate and remote keyless entry add everyday convenience, while the available Wi-Fi hotspot supports connected travel for the entire family.
In direct comparison to the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot, the Explorer XLT offers a compelling balance of technology, turbocharged performance, and standard features at a competitive price. While the Highlander emphasizes hybrid options and the Pilot focuses on V6 power, neither matches the Explorer's combination of turbo efficiency and four-wheel drive versatility in this trim. For buyers in St. Louis needing year-round confidence and family-friendly flexibility, the Explorer delivers standout value.
Why choose the Explorer over rivals? It provides standard heated seats, SYNC 3, and four-wheel drive in the XLT trim, while many competitors require costly upgrades for similar features. What does this SUV offer others don't? Exclusive turbocharged power in a segment crowded with naturally aspirated engines. Which vehicle in this segment offers the best overall value?
