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.

EXTERIOR & INTERIOR FEATURES: *Exterior: The 2014 Explorer XLT has a bold, SUV-style design with a larger grille and strong character lines, making it look more modern and aggressive. *18-inch alloy wheels. *Roof rails are available for additional cargo carrying options.

DRIVING EXPERIENCE: The 2014 Ford Explorer XLT delivers a smooth, comfortable ride, especially on highways and city roads. The V6 engine provides adequate power for most driving needs.
