2023 Ford Explorer

Ready for the Roads, Routines, and Real Life of the Midwest This Certified 2023 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD carries itself with a confidence that fits perfectly into the rhythm of Michiganâs daily movement. The Carbonized Gray Metallic finish looks sharp drifting through Saline at sunrise, settling into lunchtime traffic in Battle Creek, or easing into the slow-rolling pace around Chelsea. The 20-inch Carbon Gray wheels from the XLT Sport Appearance Package give it the kind of athletic stance that looks right at home everywhere from Ann Arborâs Kerrytown district to Monroeâs riverfront neighborhoods. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 brings smooth, responsive strength to every drive, building momentum effortlessly as the Explorer merges onto I-94 heading toward Kalamazoo or traces the quieter two-lane curves outside Manchester and Blissfield. Four-wheel drive steps in confidently when the weather turns or when a weekend drive pulls you onto gravel roads near Clarklake, Hillsdale, or out toward the lakes around Brooklyn and Waterloo. Itâs the kind of capability families here depend on â not for show, but because it just makes life easier. Inside, the cabin builds out the comfort that keeps daily travel feeling light. The Ebony/Slate ActiveX seating adds a modern touch, while the heated steering wheel and remote start take the bite out of cold mornings across Washtenaw and Lenawee Counties. The power passenger seat makes long drives toward Lansing or Brighton more relaxed, and SYNC 3 brings navigation, music, and apps together with clean clarity on the move. The Explorerâs cabin stays open and flexible, making school drop-offs in Dexter, grocery runs in Coldwater, or late-night returns from Toledo feel instinctive rather than hectic. The rear parking sensors and camera make tight downtown spots in Ann Arbor or Jackson simple to slip into, and FordPass Connect keeps the Explorer synced with your day, whether youâre prepping the cabin from your phone or checking vehicle status before running toward Monroe or Wauseon. Tri-zone climate control keeps everyone comfortable as the SUV moves through shifting temperatures on the wide-open stretches across Ingham or Livingston County. Out on the road, the Explorer adapts to whatever the day demands. The sculpted lines, roof rails, and sport-focused exterior details make it feel ready for spontaneous weekend plans â maybe a quick run toward Pokagon State Park, a drive toward Angola or Auburn, or a quiet escape through rolling farmland around Tecumseh or Dundee. The XLTâs blend of capability and comfort makes it a natural fit for the families who cross counties and state lines without thinking twice. Strong, sure-footed, and designed around real-life movement, this Certified Explorer XLT fits the pace of modern Midwest living â from daily routines to the miles in between. Because Everything We Do Is Driven By You. #FordExplorer #ExplorerXLT #Certified #4WheelDrive #SportAppearancePackage #CarbonizedGra
