Miles Overview
The 2021 Explorer is Ford's three-row family SUV, slotting between the Edge and the Expedition with a choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. It competes with the Toyota Highlander, Honda Pilot, and Kia Telluride, offering more engine choices than most. The Explorer handles well for a large SUV, with responsive steering and a composed ride on the highway. The cabin offers generous passenger and cargo space, though some owners find lower trims a bit basic inside. Ford Co-Pilot360 safety tech is standard, and the available SYNC 3 infotainment is easy to use. The XLT is the volume trim, splitting the difference between the base model and the Limited with a nicer cloth interior and heated front seats. Its 2.3L I4 makes 300 horsepower routed through a ten-speed automatic to the rear wheels, managing 24 mpg combined on regular fuel. It comes on 18-inch aluminum wheels with all-season tires, and you can option Intelligent 4WD if you want all-weather traction.
