Atlas Blue Metallic 2022 Ford Explorer XLT RWD with 84,966 miles and Ford Blue Advantage Blue Certified confidence - this is the kind of three-row SUV that makes sense when you want space, comfort, technology, and a strong ownership story without moving into new vehicle pricing. It has the room families need, the features drivers appreciate every day, and the Ford-backed certification shoppers look for when comparing used SUVs in Tampa Bay.

This Explorer has a great local history. It was sold new by Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel, serviced extensively here, and returns as a CARFAX 1-Owner personal vehicle with strong documented maintenance. It is also recognized as CARFAX Homegrown, meaning it came back to the dealership that originally sold it and had most of its reported service completed right here. For a used three-row SUV, that kind of history matters.

The Atlas Blue Metallic exterior gives this Explorer a clean, confident look, while the XLT Sport Appearance Package adds a sharper stance with 20-inch Carbonized Gray-painted wheels. It has the presence people like in an Explorer without being overdone. Roof-rack side rails, LED lighting, privacy glass, rear spoiler, power liftgate, and the overall Explorer shape give it a polished SUV look that works just as well around Wesley Chapel and New Tampa as it does on a weekend trip.

Inside, the Ebony and Light Slate ActiveX interior gives the cabin a modern and practical feel. The three-row layout makes this Explorer easy to use for family life, school schedules, sports gear, luggage, and road trips. The 50/50 fold-flat third row helps when you need more cargo space, while heated front seats, heated steering wheel, power driver seat, 8-way power passenger seat, tri-zone electronic temperature control, multiple USB ports, and smart storage throughout the cabin make it comfortable for daily driving.

This XLT is equipped with the right options. Equipment Group 202A adds key comfort features, while the Twin Panel Moonroof opens up the cabin and gives the interior a more premium feel. Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ brings Adaptive Cruise Control, voice-activated touchscreen navigation, and Evasive Steering Assist. You also get Remote Start, SYNC 3 with an 8-inch touchscreen, FordPass Connect, rear view camera, rear parking sensors, Intelligent Access with push-button start, and the everyday convenience features that make the Explorer easy to live with.

The Class IV Trailer Tow Package adds another useful layer for buyers who want more than just passenger space. Trailer sway control, the 2.3L EcoBoost engine, and the 10-speed automatic transmission give this Explorer a well-rounded mix of efficiency, smooth power, and practical capability. It is easy enough for daily commuting, comfortable enough for family use, and flexible enough for weekend plans around Lutz, Land O’ Lakes, Odessa, Wiregrass, Carrollwood, Brandon, and the greater Tampa Bay area.

The Ford Blue Advantage Blue Certified coverage is an important part of this Explorer’s value. Blue Certified vehicles receive a 139-point inspection by factory-trained technicians and include a comprehensive limited warranty backed by Ford. That gives shoppers more confidence than a typical used SUV, especially when buying something with three-row space, modern technology, and documented service history.

The CARFAX shows recent service and sale preparation, including oil and filter change, tire rotation, fluids checked, cabin air filter replacement/cleaning, tire condition and pressure checked, and wipers replaced. It also shows no total loss reported, no structural damage reported, no airbag deployment reported, no odometer rollback indicated, and no open recalls reported to CARFAX. A minor damage event is listed from January 2025 to the front/left front area, noted as minor on the CARFAX damage severity scale.
