About this vehicle
The 2022 Ford Explorer XLT stands out as a family-focused SUV designed to accommodate daily routines and weekend adventures. With three rows of seats, it easily fits car seats and offers rear-row access for growing families. The flexible interior layout adapts quickly, making school drop-offs and family outings smoother, while the Jewel Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat exterior adds a stylish touch. Parents managing busy schedules will appreciate how this SUV balances passenger space with everyday practicality. The Explorer's third-row bench increases seating capacity, allowing families with young children to arrange multiple car seats securely. Its captain's chairs in the second row make it easy for kids to climb into the back, and the rear air conditioning ensures comfort for every passenger. For families in Lakeland, FL, the climate-friendly interior and remote keyless entry simplify life on hot days. The Explorer’s 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine, paired with a responsive automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, delivers smooth acceleration even with a full cabin. This powertrain supports confident highway merging and maintains stable, composed handling on long family trips. The SUV’s EPA-estimated 21 city and 28 highway MPG means fewer fuel stops on the school run or road trips, helping parents keep their focus on family activities rather than the next fill-up. Safety is a core strength of the Explorer, giving families true peace of mind. It features dual front and side impact airbags, a knee airbag, and an overhead airbag for comprehensive protection in all seating rows. The Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ suite adds active safety technologies like an exterior parking camera, brake assist, and electronic stability control, helping parents stay aware of their surroundings. The LATCH system supports simple, secure installation of child seats, and the rear window defroster and wiper enhance visibility in all weather conditions. Inside, the Explorer XLT offers heated front seats, power-adjustable front seats, a power liftgate, and tri-zone automatic climate control for ultimate comfort and convenience. The SYNC 3 system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensures easy smartphone integration, keeping the family connected and entertained. The Twin Panel Moonroof fills the cabin with natural light, while features like SiriusXM radio and steering wheel audio controls make daily drives enjoyable. Roof rails expand cargo-carrying options for vacations or sports gear. Compared to family SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the Explorer provides a more flexible third-row experience and a robust suite of standard technology. The Explorer's powertrain and rear-wheel drive configuration offer a confident, composed feel that stands out during family road trips. With heated seats and a spacious, accessible interior, it often provides greater comfort for both parents and children than many segment rivals. How many car seats can fit in the back? The Explorer's third-row seating and captain's chairs make it easy to install multiple car seats securely. Is it safe for kids and teens? Yes, the SUV includes advanced airbag coverage and the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ features for comprehensive protection. Does it offer warranty support for peace of mind? The Explorer includes a transferable powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles. Lakeland Automall invites you to experience the 2022 Ford Explorer XLT in person.
