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 sweet spot for families who want the Explorer's three-row layout and available all-wheel drive without stepping up to the Limited's leather and luxury. Its 3.5L V6 makes 290 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic and all-wheel drive, which is enough to tow a small boat and returns 19 mpg combined. The XLT's standard cloth seats are comfortable for long trips, and the optional Intelligent 4WD system with Terrain Management makes light work of snow or gravel.
