Miles Overview
The 2018 Explorer is Ford's three-row family SUV, slotting between the Edge and Expedition and competing with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. The Explorer drives with a composed, car-like feel for its size, and the available turbocharged V6 gives it genuinely quick acceleration. Inside, the Explorer seats up to seven with a roomy second row, though the third row is tight for adults and cargo space shrinks when all seats are up. With the rear seats folded, the Explorer swallows bulky items like a full-size mattress, and the power-folding third row is handy. Available features include a large touchscreen with Ford's SYNC 3, a premium Sony audio system, and driver aids like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist. The XLT is the value pick in the Explorer lineup, skipping the Limited's leather and chrome for a lower price while keeping the same 2.3L I4 and front-wheel-drive layout. Its 2.3L I4 makes 280 horsepower and routes through a six-speed automatic to the front wheels, which returns 22 mpg combined and feels adequate for daily driving around town.
