When it comes to midsize SUVs that blend power, comfort, and versatility, a used Ford Explorer continues to stand out. With a long-standing reputation for reliability, family-friendly features, and all-weather capability, the Ford Explorer offers drivers a well-rounded experience. At Stanley Chevy, we’re proud to offer a wide selection of quality pre-owned vehicles, and in this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the available trim levels and explain why buying from us is the smart choice.
A Closer Look at the Ford Explorer Trim Levels
The used Ford Explorer lineup includes a variety of trim levels to meet different driving needs and lifestyles. Each trim provides its own blend of technology, performance, and comfort.
Ford Explorer Base
The Base trim sets the foundation for the Explorer lineup. It includes a strong turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost engine, rear-wheel drive, and seating for seven. You’ll also find an intuitive SYNC infotainment system with smartphone connectivity, rearview camera, and tri-zone climate control. The Base is perfect for those seeking space and reliability without too many frills.
Ford Explorer XLT
The XLT trim adds more convenience and comfort to your drive. It offers upgraded interior materials, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, push-button start, and advanced driver assistance features like lane-keeping assist and blind spot monitoring. This trim strikes a solid balance between affordability and added features.
Ford Explorer Limited
The Limited trim brings a more luxurious experience to the table. Leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, power-folding second and third rows, and enhanced technology make it ideal for families. The Limited also features a hands-free liftgate, adaptive cruise control, and optional hybrid powertrain for those wanting better fuel efficiency.
Ford Explorer ST
Designed for drivers craving a sportier ride, the ST trim delivers with a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 that produces over 400 horsepower. You’ll enjoy sport-tuned suspension, unique styling cues, and performance upgrades throughout. The ST trim proves that you don’t need to sacrifice power for practicality.
Ford Explorer Platinum
The Platinum trim offers the highest level of luxury in the Explorer lineup. Premium leather, a dual-panel moonroof, a digital instrument cluster, and real wood interior accents make it feel more like a luxury SUV. The V6 engine, standard all-wheel drive, and advanced safety systems offer peak performance and peace of mind.
Ford Explorer Timberline (Select Years)
The Timberline trim is built for off-road adventures. This trim adds increased ground clearance, underbody skid plates, and a Torsen limited-slip rear differential. Rugged styling and trail-ready features make it perfect for weekend explorers.
Why a Used Ford Explorer Is a Smart Choice
Purchasing a used Ford Explorer offers excellent value. It holds its resale value well and includes modern tech and safety even in older models. Drivers get premium features without paying new vehicle prices. Since the Explorer has a proven track record of durability, a well-maintained used model still has plenty of life ahead.
The Explorer is also one of the few midsize SUVs that can comfortably seat seven passengers without sacrificing cargo space. Whether you’re heading to work, school, or a road trip, the Ford Explorer delivers flexibility and confidence on the road.
