At $28,590 with Ford Gold Certified backing, this 2023 Explorer XLT in Iconic Silver Metallic is one of the sharper buys we have on the lot right now. Here, resting quietly among its kin, we observe a specimen that has already survived 56,524 miles of suburban migration and highway transit, yet arrives in certified condition, wearing its silver coat with the quiet dignity of an animal that knows its own worth.

The 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder under that hood is a compact but capable engine, returning 20 city and 27 highway MPG while moving a full three-row family hauler through whatever terrain the New England seasons choose to offer. Four-wheel drive handles the winter instincts of this region. The Class IV Trailer Tow Package means this Explorer can haul a boat, a camper, or a small mountain of sports equipment without complaint. Inside, heated ActiveX Captain's Chairs occupy the front row, the steering wheel is heated leather, and the second row folds to open up cargo space when the third-row bench goes unused. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SYNC 3 keep the driver connected, while a remote start system means the cabin reaches a civilized temperature before anyone has to put on their boots.

The natural companion to this vehicle is someone who needs genuine space for people and gear, wants a safety net of certified coverage, and quietly appreciates having navigation, a rear camera, front fog lights, automatic high beams, and a 4G LTE hotspot without having to ask for them. The SecuriCode keyless entry keypad is the kind of feature that sounds minor until the day you are carrying three bags of groceries and a sleeping toddler and cannot locate your keys. Twenty-inch premium painted aluminum wheels and a power liftgate round out a package that does a lot of useful work without making a fuss about it.

We invite you to come see this Explorer in person at AutoFair Ford of Haverhill or give us a call at 978-228-5021 to ask questions or set up a test drive. Our team is ready to walk you through the Ford Gold Certified details and get you behind the wheel.
