2023 Ford Explorer XLT: The Ultimate Family Adventure SUV
The 2023 Ford Explorer XLT in stunning Gray Metallic is the quintessential three-row SUV designed to elevate your daily routine and weekend getaways alike. With its spacious cabin, adaptable seating, and confident road manners, this modern family hauler is perfectly suited for active households in Kingsley who need a dependable vehicle that transitions effortlessly from school carpools to loaded-up road trips.
Capable Performance and All-Weather Confidence
Under the hood, this SUV is powered by a responsive 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a smooth-shifting 10-Speed Automatic transmission. This advanced powertrain delivers an efficient EPA-estimated 20 city and 27 highway MPG, ensuring fewer stops at the pump during long highway stretches. When northern Michigan weather throws its worst at you, the intelligent 4WD drivetrain provides peace of mind by optimizing traction on snow, ice, or rain-slicked pavement. Supported by a four-wheel independent suspension and 18-inch 5-Spoke Silver-Painted Aluminum wheels, this Explorer delivers a composed and comfortable ride no matter where the road leads.
Seamless Technology and Interior Comfort

Staying connected on the go is effortless thanks to the SYNC 3 system, which features seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. This setup allows you to easily access your favorite navigation apps, playlists, and hands-free calling.
