Made for the Families Who Make the Midwest Move This Certified 2022 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD steps into the day with the kind of presence that feels right at home across the Midwest. The Stone Blue Metallic finish catches the morning light as it rolls through the neighborhoods of Chelsea, climbs past the storefronts in Tecumseh, and settles into the long, open stretches leading toward Marshall or Dundee. The 20-inch Carbon Gray wheels from the XLT Sport Appearance Package sharpen its stance, giving the Explorer a confident, modern edge that looks as good in front of a downtown Battle Creek restaurant as it does parked near a ball field in Brooklyn. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 moves with smooth, steady strength, making the early commute along I-94 toward Ann Arbor feel effortless and giving weekend drives toward Lake Hudson or Pokagon State Park a sense of relaxed control.

Out on the road, the SUVâs shape and stance speak to versatility without shouting about it.
