Modern three-row versatility, efficient EcoBoost performance, and advanced driver technology define this 2023 Ford Explorer XLT RWD, a midsize SUV engineered to deliver confident everyday driving with the space and flexibility today’s families need. With 55,290 miles and backed by Ford’s prestigious Gold Certified program, this Explorer provides exceptional peace of mind through a rigorous 172-point inspection, a 12-month/12,000-mile Comprehensive Limited Warranty, a 7-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, and 24/7 Roadside Assistance. Finished in Carbonized Gray Metallic with an Ebony cloth interior, it presents a clean, modern appearance well suited for drivers throughout Wesley Chapel, Tampa, Brandon, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg.

Power comes from Ford’s responsive 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a smooth and efficient 10-speed automatic transmission. This turbocharged powertrain delivers strong low-end torque, confident highway acceleration, and excellent fuel efficiency for a three-row SUV. Rear-wheel drive provides balanced handling and a comfortable, composed ride, while Trailer Sway Control enhances stability when hauling small trailers or recreational gear.

This Explorer is equipped with the XLT trim and Equipment Group 200A, offering an excellent balance of comfort, technology, and safety features. Inside the spacious cabin, you’ll find heated front seats, a power-adjustable driver seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, tri-zone electronic automatic climate control, and a rotary gear shift dial that opens up center console storage. The second-row bench seat and power-folding third row allow the interior to adapt easily between passengers and cargo.

Technology is a strong highlight. SYNC 3 with an 8-inch touchscreen provides intuitive access to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth® connectivity, and voice recognition. FordPass Connect enables remote access features and vehicle monitoring, while multiple USB ports and 12-volt powerpoints support modern device charging needs for all three rows. Rear parking sensors and a rearview camera improve visibility and confidence in tight parking situations.

Safety and driver-assist features are comprehensive and confidence-inspiring. This Explorer includes Ford Co-Pilot360 technology with Pre-Collision Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, Safety Canopy airbags covering all three rows, driver knee airbag, individual tire pressure monitoring, LATCH child-seat anchors, and SOS Post-Crash Alert System. These systems work together to enhance awareness and protection during daily driving.

Exterior details balance clean styling with functional design. LED headlamps with signature lighting, LED taillamps, roof rack side rails, a power liftgate, privacy glass, rear spoiler, and 18-inch five-spoke painted aluminum wheels give this Explorer a confident road presence without being overstated.

Ride quality is smooth, quiet, and composed. The Explorer absorbs road imperfections well while maintaining stable highway manners, and the elevated seating position provides excellent outward visibility for both city and highway driving. Steering response is predictable and refined, making this SUV easy to drive for families and commuters alike.

This vehicle is backed by the Parks Plus Program, which includes on-demand roadside assistance, adding an extra layer of reassurance during ownership. For drivers in Wesley Chapel, Tampa, Brandon, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg seeking a Gold Certified three-row SUV with modern technology, efficient EcoBoost performance, and everyday versatility, this 2023 Ford Explorer XLT RWD stands out as a smart and well-rounded choice.
