Vehicle Description
2017 Ford Explorer XLT Sport Utility 4D: A Spacious and Capable SUV Built for Everyday Adventures
The 2017 Ford Explorer XLT Sport Utility 4D remains one of the most versatile midsize SUVs of its time. Designed for growing families and commuters, the Explorer XLT balances comfort and utility. It blends confident performance, modern technology, and a spacious interior in one practical package. A comfortable, reliable seven-passenger SUV with four-wheel drive and a strong V6 engine for long trips.
Bold Styling and Practical SUV Design
The 2017 Explorer XLT looks confident with sculpted body lines, an athletic stance, and practical styling cues. Polished alloy wheels enhance its upscale look, while fog lamps and LED lights improve visibility and add a modern touch. Heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals offer both convenience and safety in changing weather conditions.
The rear spoiler and dark-tinted windows add to the Explorer’s refined look and keep it practical for daily use. As a four-door SUV, it offers easy access to all rows. This makes loading passengers and cargo easier than many rivals.
Strong V6 Performance with Confident Power Delivery
At the heart of the 2017 Ford Explorer XLT is a 3.5-liter, naturally aspirated engine. It produces 290 horsepower at 6,500 RPM and 255 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. This powertrain delivers smooth acceleration and confident performance whether driving around town, entering highways, or carrying passengers and gear.
Paired with a 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission, the Explorer offers responsive shifting and refined operation. Drivers benefit from controlled power delivery and the ability to manually select gears when additional control is desired.
The four-wheel-drive (4WD) system improves traction and handling across changing road conditions. Snow-covered roads, wet pavement, gravel paths, and light off-road terrain become more manageable thanks to the additional stability and grip provided by the drivetrain. Although towing capacity is rated at approximately 2,000 pounds in this configuration, the Explorer remains more focused on passenger comfort and cargo flexibility than heavy-duty hauling.
Fuel economy remains respectable for a midsize SUV equipped with a V6 and 4WD configuration, delivering an EPA-estimated 16 MPG city and 23 MPG highway through its 18.6-gallon fuel tank.
Quiet and Comfortable Cabin Experience
One of the strongest qualities of the 2017 Explorer XLT is its remarkably quiet interior. Ford designed the cabin to cut road and wind noise. This creates a quiet space for commuting and highway driving.
Inside, the Explorer provides generous space for up to seven occupants across three rows of seating. Front bucket seats offer supportive cushioning while power adjustment for both driver and passenger enhances comfort during longer drives. Adjustable lumbar support for the driver further improves seating ergonomics.
Leather-appointed surfaces and a leather-wrapped steering wheel elevate interior quality and create a more upscale atmosphere. Rear air conditioning keeps second- and third-row passengers comfortable. Rear pass-through seating adds flexibility when carrying passengers and cargo.
The 2017 Ford Explorer XLT includes keyless start, cruise control, power features, steering audio controls, Bluetooth, and trip computer. Everyday usability remains a major strength throughout the cabin.
User-Friendly Technology and Connectivity
Technology integration is another area where the 2017 Explorer XLT performs well. Models with the SYNC 3 infotainment system offer a simple touchscreen interface that is easy to use.
Drivers can access available navigation functions, smartphone integration, media controls, and communication features without unnecessary complexity. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto improve |
