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 Base is the entry-level Explorer, giving up the XLT's optional features like the larger touchscreen and power liftgate while keeping the same basic layout. This Explorer's 3.5L V6 produces 290 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, delivering secure traction in rain or snow and earning 19 mpg combined.
