Dealer Comments
Shoppers comparing several SUVs will appreciate that this Explorer Sport is especially well-suited for active families and commuters who demand comfort, connectivity, and flexible seating. With heated perforated leather bucket seats, a heated steering wheel, and a premium Ebony Black interior with red accents, it's tailored for those who want both luxury and practicality. In regions with changing seasons, like St. Louis, the 4WD system and remote start give this SUV a clear edge for year-round confidence and convenience.
While competitors like the Honda Pilot prioritize efficiency and the Chevrolet Traverse offers a softer ride, this SUV delivers robust power and responsive shifting through its 3.5L V6 and 6-Speed Automatic with Select-Shift transmission. Its 4WD system and independent suspension provide assured handling in varied conditions, while features like speed-sensing steering and fully automatic headlights enhance control and visibility during everyday driving or weekend adventures.
Safety is a major differentiator, with standard features such as ABS brakes, electronic stability control, brake assist, and an exterior parking camera rear. Unlike some rivals that make active safety tech optional, this model includes knee airbags and SYNC 3 911 Assist as standard, offering peace of mind without hidden costs. The Explorer's comprehensive airbag system and traction control further add to its assurances, making it suitable for families and frequent travelers alike.
Among its standout features, this SUV includes navigation, a 12-speaker Sony premium audio system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and power liftgate for easy cargo access. The second-row bucket seats with power assist fold and split-folding third-row seats maximize cargo and passenger flexibility, allowing easy transitions between hauling gear and accommodating up to seven passengers. The remote keyless entry and roof rack rails also add daily convenience.
In comparison to the Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot, this Explorer Sport offers a more athletic drive, higher standard equipment, and a well-appointed interior at a competitive value. Its odometer reads 87,311 miles, notably below average for its class and age, signifying long-term reliability. Ford's original 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and corrosion coverage give buyers added peace of mind versus some competitors' shorter terms, underscoring its value proposition.
Why choose the Explorer Sport over others? Its standard 4WD and robust V6 outperform many rivals in challenging driving conditions. What does it offer that others don't? Features like a heated steering wheel, power liftgate, and SYNC 3 911 Assist come standard, while competitors often charge extra. Which midsize SUV offers the best value? The Explorer's equipment, flexible interior, and warranty support make it a standout. What advantages does it have over the Traverse or Pilot? It brings a sportier persona, real-world all-weather traction, and a premium entertainment system without upcharges.
