The 2019 Ford Explorer is back for another model year of great features, power, and convenience. Maybe you want more space, a bigger build, or a family vehicle. No matter what your needs and lifestyle, one of these Ford Explorer trim options is sure to fit the bill. Check out what the XLT, Limited, and Platinum trims bring to the table to see which one works for you.
Standard Features
In every explorer trim, you’ll find seating for up to seven passengers, curve control technology, and as much as 81.7 cubic feet of cargo space available when all of the rear seats are folded down. The curve control capability helps drivers handle sharp turns safely. If the Explorer detects that you’re entering a turn too quickly, it will automatically slow the vehicle for safer handling. All Explorer models also come with an independent front and rear suspension, hill start assist, and a rearview camera.
XLT
If you’re looking for a base trim level with some upgraded features, the XLT trim offers great perks inside and out. On the exterior, you’ll get LED automatic headlights and taillights, roof rack side rails, and heated side mirrors. Inside the XLT you’ll be welcomed with leather accents, a 60/40 split folding second-row seat, and a 50/50 split folding third-row seat.
You’ll get some serious power thanks to the XLT V-6 engine. This 3.5-liter engine offers 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. With this engine and standard trailer sway control, you’ll be able to tow up to 5,000 pounds.
