Miles Overview
The Explorer is Ford's mid-size SUV, the one families cross-shop with the Chevy Traverse and Honda Pilot. It drives heavy and planted, with a ride that soaks up bumps well, though it's not what you'd call nimble. Inside, the cabin offers room for seven, and the third row folds flat to open up a big cargo area. Owners generally report solid reliability, with occasional complaints about the Sync system acting up and pricey key replacements. The XLT sits between the base model and the Eddie Bauer, adding convenience features like power windows and locks without the Eddie Bauer's leather and premium audio. Under the hood is a 4.0L V6 making 210 horsepower paired with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, which moves the Explorer with steady authority but returns 15 mpg combined. The XLT can be had with a third-row seat, making it a true seven-passenger SUV when you need to haul the whole crew.
