The Explorer is one of Ford’s most-loved vehicles. With a world-class engine and premium features, it’s the ultimate SUV for going on a fabulous journey with friends and family. With a number of trim levels to choose from, how do you know which one is right for you? Here’s the lowdown on each 2019 Explorer trim’s features. 
XLT Trim
The XLT trim offers drivers a few options. You can choose from the XLT four-door, front-wheel drive or the XLT four-door 4×4. You can also choose between a combined fuel efficiency of 21 or 23 mpg. However, all XLTs have an impressive 290 horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine, six-speed automatic transmission, and seats for six to seven people, making the XLT a great choice for a practical and premium ride. You’ll also enjoy comfortable seating in this SUV, due to its eight-way power driver’s seat that’s height-adjustable and has additional lumbar support. Folks riding in the back will love passenger cushion tilts and comfortable armrests.
Sport Trim
If you are interested in a sassy, sporty style, then you will enjoy the Ford Explorer 2019 sport trim. This trim’s features include a trail-blazing 365-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine. You’ll adore the look of 20-inch alloy wheels and rear coil springs, as well as assets such as rack and pinion steering, speed-sensing, electric power-assist pinion steering, power steering, and sport suspension. The sport trim has a slick exterior with black handles, body-colored front and rear bumpers, a black grille, and a spoiler. For long journeys, you might find the power liftgate, trailer hitch, and roof rack load especially useful.
Platinum Trim
Why not spoil yourself with the Ford 2019 Explorer platinum trim? With this trim you’ll get excellent features, including the 365-horsepower engine (just like the sport trim’s) and 21 mpg combined. In terms of power, the platinum features a manual-auto transmission, four-wheel drive, a 650 CCA battery with battery-rundown protection, and a fuel tank that holds a whopping 18.6 gallons. This is a low-emission vehicle, with transmission electronic control, a carbon FP/tailpipe, and an upstream total of 9.8 greenhouse gas emissions.
Limited Trim
The limited trim option offers a four-door front-wheel drive or a four-door 4×4 and a 280-horsepower engine with a 2.3-liter, I-4 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The limited looks stunning, with chrome door handles, body-colored front and rear bumpers, wheel well moldings, and a lip spoiler. You’ll love the entertainment system, as well, which comes with a touch-screen monitor, internet access, and 12 Sony speakers.
You can purchase all Ford Explorer trims in the following colors: Agate Metallic Black, Blue Metallic, Burgundy Velvet Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Ingot Silver Metallic, Magnetic Metallic, or Oxford White. Despite some similarities among the cars, it can be challenging to decide between the 2019 Ford Explorer’s trims.
