Ford Explorer Trim Levels

The Ford Explorer is available in six different trim levels for your Langhorne adventures. The Base trim level has many standard features to start with for the Ford Explorer lineup.

Captain's chairs come standard on the second trim level, called the Ford Explorer XLT, which also has USB ports in the back row. The seats can heat in front, and the steering wheel gets an upgrade to a leather finish. Even more luxury items come with the Ford Explorer Limited trim level. The Limited's seating material includes leather, and it also has ambient interior lighting. The steering wheel can heat along with the seats, and technology gets an upgrade with the addition of wireless charging. Ford upgraded the Explorer's sound system on the Limited model with a Bang & Olufsen system replacing the base stereo.
