The 2018 Ford Explorer XLT immediately stands out among midsize SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Chevrolet Traverse by combining proven four-wheel drive capability, a refined Silver Metallic exterior, and a rich Ebony Black W/Fire Orange interior. Its key advantages include a flexible three-row layout, advanced standard tech, and a powerful 3.5L V6 engine, making it a smart choice for families and drivers seeking a mix of comfort and confidence on any road.
Shoppers considering multiple SUVs will find this Explorer especially compelling for active families and commuters who need space, versatility, and all-weather assurance. The 4WD system is ideal for handling unpredictable conditions, whether it's Midwest snow or mountain getaways. The three-row interior with 2nd Row Bucket Seats and 3rd row split-bench enables easy transitions between carrying passengers and cargo, supporting everything from daily errands to road trips.
Performance-wise, while some competitors offer turbocharged or smaller displacement engines, this SUV's 3.5L 6-Cylinder SMPI DOHC delivers smooth, predictable power with the reliability of a naturally aspirated V6. The 6-Speed Automatic with Select-Shift transmission ensures seamless shifts and driver control, particularly useful during highway merging or when navigating hilly terrain. Four-wheel independent suspension and electronic stability control keep the ride composed, even with a full load.
In safety, the Explorer XLT surpasses rivals by making essential features standard. Unlike competitors where advanced active safety equipment often costs extra, this model includes a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, ABS brakes, traction control, electronic stability control, and the 911 Assist emergency communication system. These systems work together for enhanced driver confidence, alerting you to obstacles and helping maintain control in challenging situations without requiring an upgrade.
This SUV's feature set is elevated by packages such as the Comfort Package, Driver Connect Package, and XLT Appearance Package, which bring added convenience and style. Technology highlights include SYNC 3 Communications & Entertainment System, SiriusXM radio, and steering wheel audio controls. The Twin Panel Moonroof floods the cabin with natural light, while heated door mirrors and fully automatic headlights are practical for year-round driving. The power driver and passenger seats, along with rear air conditioning, ensure comfort for all occupants.
Against competitors like the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot, the Explorer stands out with its robust V6, standard tech, and flexible seating. While others may offer similar passenger capacity, few combine the Explorer's blend of advanced connectivity and proven 4WD system at this price point. The original 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and corrosion coverage reflect Ford's commitment to long-term durability, making the Explorer a high-value contender for those comparing segment leaders.
Why choose this SUV over the Honda Pilot or Toyota Highlander? The Explorer offers a more engaging drive thanks to its V6 power and Select-Shift transmission. What does it offer that others don't? Standard rear parking sensors, SYNC 3, and a Twin Panel Moonroof-all included in the XLT trim with no costly add-ons.
