The 2017 Ford Explorer Sport 4WD combines powerful performance, advanced technology, and premium comfort, making it a versatile choice for families and adventurers across the Pacific Northwest. With only one previous owner, a clean CARFAX, and a full inspection and reconditioning, this Explorer is ready for its next chapter.
Under the hood, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 pairs with a 6-speed SelectShift automatic transmission to deliver strong acceleration and confident highway passing power. The intelligent 4WD system ensures year-round capability, from wet Seattle streets to snowy mountain passes on the way to Stevens or Hood. The Sport trim brings a more athletic character, with a tuned suspension and distinctive styling that set it apart from other midsize SUVs.
Finished in Magnetic Metallic with bold 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, this Explorer has a commanding road presence. The Ebony Black interior features perforated leather heated and cooled bucket seats, ambient lighting, and a twin-panel moonroof that fills the cabin with natural light. Convenience comes built in with power-adjustable pedals, a power tilt and telescoping steering wheel, and memory settings for multiple drivers.
The Explorer Sport is equally at home hauling gear as it is carrying passengers, thanks to its power-folding third-row seats and spacious cargo area. Technology is abundant, including SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, dual smart-charging USB ports, a 110V/400W outlet, and a premium Sony sound system. Safety and driver-assist features such as adaptive cruise control with forward collision warning, BLIS blind spot monitoring, inflatable rear seatbelts, and a 180-degree front camera with split view provide extra peace of mind in traffic and on the trail.
Comfort extends to every row, with heated and cooled front seats, a heated steering wheel, rear air conditioning, and thoughtful touches like remote control windows and a power liftgate. This Explorer has the versatility to manage daily commuting, family road trips, and weekend adventures with equal ease.
Awarded by Kelley Blue Book for brand image and as one of the most recognized nameplates of 2017, the Ford Explorer remains a standout in the midsize SUV segment. For those seeking a vehicle that blends sport-inspired performance, luxury-level features, and the ability to handle Pacific Northwest weather and terrain, this 2017 Ford Explorer Sport 4WD is an ideal choice.

Come on ford
By Lydia on Tuesday, September 22, 2020
My biggest complaint is how hard it is to set up bluetooth devices. There isn't just 1 button. Theres a series of 4 buttons you need to get working prior to driving to hopefully get bluetooth. Just such a headache that the suv lost major points in my book for that. The headrests are those awful ones that push your head forward so they kill my neck on long drives. The fold down seats can hold a lot of weight which has been nice. However, the backs of the seats are a thin particle board that will break under enough weight. Here I was worried that the bar that holds the seats would break first. - 5.0
Built for those of tall stature
By Dave on Wednesday, February 03, 2021
Im 6'9, having owned full size trucks from the big 3, these gen5 Explorers are unequivocally the best fitting for my size. However, high window sills are a bit high for most shorter folks Ive talked to. In 100k miles, Ive only replaced rear brakes and front struts and only the right one had failed at that. Rear brakes are just about due. Best car Ive ever owned. - 5.0
Love for Mable
By Humnbrd23 on Saturday, May 29, 2021
Everything I could want in a vehicle. Mable (her name) has yet to fail. Drivability is excelent. Long trips are no issue in the comfort of Mable. There is room for everyone and thier luggage. She has double moon roofs to watch the stars at night or feel the sunshine in the morning. Mable also has towing capacity, but I have never needed it. Thank you to the couple that traded her in with only 64000 miles.
