If you're looking for an affordable used SUV with practical passenger space| useful cargo capacity| and the traditional capability that made the Explorer a household name| this 2005 Ford Explorer XLT deserves a closer look. The Explorer has been a major part of Ford's SUV lineup for decades| and this generation appeals to buyers who prefer a more traditional SUV design rather than the car-based crossover layout that dominates today's market.

The XLT trim is important to this particular Explorer. Positioned above the base XLS| the XLT gives buyers a step up in the lineup while keeping the focus on the versatility and value that make an older Explorer attractive in the first place.

What Makes the 2005 Ford Explorer Different From a Modern Crossover?

This generation of Explorer uses a traditional rear-wheel-drive-based SUV platform| giving it a different character from many of today's compact and midsize crossovers. That's worth knowing if you're specifically looking for an older| more traditional sport utility vehicle rather than simply a taller passenger car.

Depending on configuration| the 2005 Explorer was available with different engines and drivetrains. Because we haven't confirmed this particular XLT's engine| drivetrain| seating configuration| or optional equipment| we're not going to assume that it has a V8| 4WD| third-row seating| or other features that may not be present.

If any of those items are important to you| we'll encourage you to verify the actual vehicle. Accurate information is more useful than filling a used-car listing with specifications pulled from a generic model-year database.

Is a Used Ford Explorer XLT a Good Everyday SUV?

For someone who needs SUV versatility at an affordable used-vehicle price point| an Explorer can make a lot of sense.

It may be particularly useful for a household that has outgrown a sedan| a driver who regularly carries equipment or supplies| or someone who simply prefers the space and seating position of an SUV.

There's also a financial argument for an older used SUV. New and late-model SUVs can carry substantial monthly payments. If your priority is getting the space and functionality you actually need| buying used can keep significantly less money tied up in transportation.

That applies to strong-credit buyers| too. Heritage Motors welcomes customers with good and excellent credit who deliberately shop older vehicles because the value makes sense for them.
