The XLT trim is positioned just above the base model, offering more premium features without going all the way to the higher-end trims like the Limited or Sport. Here's an overview of the key features and specifications of the 2014 Ford Explorer XLT: ENGINE & PERFORMANCE: *Engine Options: *3.5L V6 engine: 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque.
