2019 Ford Explorer

Tired of pretending you enjoy packing light for family road trips? Introducing the 2019 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD because ''room for activities'' isn't just a suggestion, it's a way of life! This isn't just a used SUV; it's a testament to the fact that you can, in fact, have it all.What makes this majestic beast the perfect addition to your chaotic, yet charming, life?Seating for 7 (and a half, if you squish): Forget playing Tetris with your kids and their various sporting equipment. This Explorer offers seating for up to seven, so you can haul the entire soccer team, the dog, and still have room for that impulse antique store find. Just be prepared for the inevitable ''Are we there yet?'' chorus from all three rows.Intelligent 4WD: Because let's be honest, not every road is paved with good intentions (or pavement at all). This 4WD system, complete with a Terrain Management System, means you can confidently tackle that muddy shortcut to the little league fields, or accidentally end up on a gravel road to nowhere. It's like a choose-your-own-adventure book, but with more traction!The Power of a V6 (290 hp, thank you very much): You'll never be late for school drop-off again, unless you choose to be. With 290 horsepower under the hood, you've got enough oomph to merge onto the highway with the confidence of a professional race car driver (results may vary, please obey speed limits).Cargo Space Galore (21 cu.ft. behind the third row, up to 81.7 cu.ft. with seats folded): Ever wanted to transport a small, very confused pony? While we don't recommend it, you could probably fit a small, very confused pony in here with all the seats folded down. Or, more practically, enough groceries to feed a small army, your entire camping setup, or enough impulse buys from Target to necessitate a second mortgage.Towing Capacity (up to 5,000 lbs): That boat you've always wanted? That small U-Haul full of ''treasures'' from your aunt's garage? This Explorer can handle it. Just don't ask it to tow your entire existential dread that's a job for therapy, not a vehicle.SYNC 3 Infotainment (with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto): Because silence in the car is awkward, and listening to the same kid's song on repeat is torture. Plug in your phone and blast your favorite ''parenting anthems'' (or, you know, actual music) while navigating to that new, highly-rated pizza place.Rear View Camera & Parking Sensors: Let's face it, parallel parking a school bus is easier than some SUVs. Thankfully, this Explorer comes with aids to help you avoid those embarrassing (and costly) bumper kisses. Your dignity (and insurance premiums) will thank you.Fuel Economy (16 city / 22 highway MPG): So, you'll still be visiting your friendly neighborhood gas station with some regularity. Think of it as forced bonding time with the gas pump attendant. They probably have great stories.A (Humerous) Word to the Wise:Previous owners may have left some ''treasures'': Don't be surprised if you find a rogue French fry under the third-row seat, a lost Barbie shoe in the cargo net, or a petrified juice box. It's character, darling, character.The ''lived-in'' look: This isn't a museum piece. It's seen some things. It's carried some kids. It might have a minor battle scar or two (aka, a scratch you'll eventually forget about). Embrace the imperfections; they tell a story.May spontaneously attract carpools: Be warned, once your friends and family realize how much space you have, your social calendar might just fill up with requests for rides. Consider yourself forewarned.In conclusion, this 2019 Ford Explorer XLT 4WD is more than just a car; it's a workhorse, a memory-maker, and your trusty steed in the glorious, messy adventure of life. Come on down and give it a test drive just try not to get too attached, unless you're planning on taking it home.
