2008 Ford Explorer

Description

Carrying forward the Explorer nameplate’s long-standing reputation for practical, go-anywhere utility, this 2008 Ford Explorer XLT Wagon brings that familiar Ford toughness in a format that still feels easy to live with. It’s powered by a 4.0L V6 regular unleaded engine with 210 horsepower, paired to a 5-speed automatic overdrive transmission and Control-Trac automatic full-time 4WD. That setup gives it the kind of confident, steady feel many drivers want when the weather turns or the road surface changes. Ford equipped this Explorer with a well-rounded mechanical package, including AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, all-speed ABS and driveline traction control, electronic transfer case shift, ventilated front disc brakes, 4-wheel disc brakes, and a heavy-duty radiator. The suspension uses an independent front and rear layout with coil springs and gas-pressurized shocks, while rack-pinion steering and hydraulic power assist help keep it predictable behind the wheel. Inside, the Explorer XLT focuses on straightforward comfort and convenience.

It offers cloth seating, an 8-way power driver seat, a 4-way front passenger seat, a split-folding rear seat, and a full floor console with useful storage. Features like steering wheel-mounted audio controls, cruise control, keyless entry, power windows, and power door locks add everyday ease. The cabin also includes a leather steering wheel, manual climate control, a CD player, auxiliary input jack, and satellite radio prep. Practical touches are everywhere, from roof rails and a trailer hitch with Class II tow rating to a liftgate cargo door, rear cargo lighting, concealed storage, and a full-size spare tire. Safety equipment includes six airbags, an airbag occupancy sensor, tire pressure monitoring, and a SecuriLock immobilizer. This pre-owned Explorer XLT blends traditional SUV capability with the kind of features drivers still use every day.
