CARFAX One-Owner. The 2023 Ford Explorer XLT in Gray Metallic with Ebony interior (Stock #228198BC, VIN 1FMSK7DH9PGC13540) is a three-row family SUV with 22,911 miles, designed for families throughout Hemet, Menifee, and Riverside County who need versatile seating, modern technology, and confident highway performance. This rear-wheel-drive Explorer XLT offers seating for up to seven passengers with the standard second-row bench or six with the available second-row captain's chairsâa popular configuration for easier third-row access that's ideal for carpools to Winchester and school runs through Murrieta. Under the hood, the Explorer XLT is powered by a 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower and paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. This turbocharged four-cylinder delivers quick acceleration for highway merging on I-215 and confident passing power during the drive from Temecula to Riverside, while the rear-wheel-drive configuration provides balanced handling and a comfortable ride on everyday errands. The independent MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension absorb road imperfections smoothly, making long family trips and daily commutes equally comfortable. The Explorer XLT comes well-equipped with features that enhance daily ownership. Heated front seats are a welcome comfort on cool mornings in the Inland Empire, while the eight-way power driver seat with power lumbar support and power-adjustable front passenger seat make it easy to find the perfect driving position for drivers of all sizes. The leather-wrapped steering wheel adds a premium touch, and the keyless access with push-button start means you can unlock and start the Explorer without fumbling for keysâespecially convenient when your hands are full of groceries or sports equipment. Privacy glass keeps the interior cool during hot Southern California afternoons, and heated exterior mirrors clear quickly on foggy mornings. The folding rear seatback and manual folding split-bench third-row seats provide flexible cargo configurations: fold the third row flat for 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space when hauling furniture from French Valley, or keep all three rows upright for maximum passenger capacity on family road trips. Inside, the Explorer XLT features an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, allowing seamless smartphone integration for navigation, music streaming, and hands-free calling.
