The 2018 Ford Explorer XLT is a midsize SUV that offers a solid mix of power, space, and everyday practicality, making it a popular choice for families. It comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and either front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive. Fuel economy is around 1724 MPG (about 1920 combined), which is typical for a V6 SUV in this class. It also offers up to 5,000 lbs of towing capacity, giving it good versatility for trailers or small boats.

Inside, the Explorer XLT provides seating for up to 7 passengers with a spacious cabin and flexible cargo space. Standard features include rearview camera, rear parking sensors, keyless entry with push-button start, cruise control, and cloth seating, while available packages (like the 201A/202A Equipment Groups) add upgrades such as SYNC 3 infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, power liftgate, dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and remote start. Cargo space is solid at about 21 cubic feet behind the third row and over 80 cubic feet max, making it practical for families and road trips.

On the road, the Explorer XLT delivers a smooth, comfortable ride with responsive steering, though it leans more toward comfort than sporty handling. Its known for its strong V6 performance and roomy interior, but some owners note potential long-term concerns like water pump issues on the V6 if not maintained properly (a commonly discussed item in owner communities). Overall, the 2018 Explorer XLT is a great choice if you want a capable, family-friendly SUV with solid power and space, especially when well-maintained.
