2023 Ford Explorer

Luxury That Fits the Midwest Miles You Actually Drive This Certified 2023 Ford Explorer Limited 4WD carries itself with a quiet confidence that blends naturally into the places where real Midwest families live and move. The Forged Green Metallic finish gives the SUV a rich, understated presence as it rolls through Saline in the early morning light, glides past the café-lined corners of Chelsea, and settles into the wide-open rhythm of I-96 toward Brighton or Okemos. The 20-inch premium painted wheels sharpen its stance, giving the Limited a refined edge that feels equally at home in Ann Arbor, Kalamazoo, or Perrysburg. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 brings smooth, effortless strength, rising into the flow of US-23, tracing the calm backroads down toward Dundee, or carrying the family north toward Jackson and Marshall without strain. The 4WD system steps in naturally when the weather turns or when your route jumps onto gravel near Irish Hills, Hillsdale, or rural stretches around Blissfield. The available tow package adds confidence for weekend escapes toward Lake Hudson, Pokagon State Park, or quiet getaways across the Ohio line toward Wauseon or Maumee. Inside, the Limited leans into comfort in a way that feels built for long days. Ebony leather seating, soft ambient lighting, and a clean, upscale layout set the tone. The driverâs memory seat, heated and ventilated front seats, and heated second row create a welcoming cabin no matter the season. The power-folding third row adapts instantly for gear-heavy weekends or spontaneous detours through big-box stops in Monroe or Coldwater. A heated steering wheel and remote start bring instant comfort on winter mornings, and the 110V outlet adds a layer of real-world practicality for trips that stretch through Indiana toward Angola or Auburn. Technology fills the cabin without ever feeling like clutter. The expansive center screen houses voice-activated navigation, giving crisp, reliable guidance through Ann Arbor traffic, across the rolling terrain near Dexter, or through the metro flow approaching Detroit suburbs. The 360-degree camera brings full visibility to parking in tight downtown spaces, whether itâs Jacksonâs brick-lined streets or the busy lots around Lansing. A wireless charging pad keeps the cabin clean and cord-free, and FordPass Connect ties the Explorer into your day through your phone, whether you're prepping the cabin or tracking vehicle status before an evening out in Toledo. As the road stretches out, the Limited settles into the calm, composed rhythm that has made the Explorer a Midwest favorite. Roof rails, satin exterior accents, and the understated shape make it feel ready for everyday errands, long-distance travel, or slow weekend drives along farm roads near Quincy and Reading. With 4WD capability, upscale refinement, and a cabin built around comfort and convenience, this Explorer becomes the SUV that makes the miles feel easier â the one families rely on across Michigan, Oh
