87,655 km on a 2017.

That's about 9,000 km a year — roughly half what a family three-row usually covers in nine years. Most Explorers this age are sitting at 180,000 and up. This one has been the second vehicle in the driveway, and it presents that way inside.

It's also the Limited, which is the trim worth waiting for. Cooled seats, heated seats in the second row, the glass roof, the Sony stereo, the power third row — none of that is on an XLT.

Under the hood is the 3.5L Ti-VCT V6, 290 horsepower, backed by a six-speed automatic and intelligent 4WD with Ford's Terrain Management System — a console dial that retunes throttle, transmission and traction for snow, sand or mud. If you've been shopping used Explorers you've scrolled past a lot of EcoBoost listings. This is the other one: naturally aspirated, no turbochargers, regular fuel.

A cabin built for six:

Full perforated leather, camel over blue
Heated AND ventilated front seats
Heated second-row seats
Second-row captain's chairs with a walk-through to the back
Power-folding third row — one button in the cargo area and the seats drop themselves
Twin-panel moonroof over both rows
Three-zone climate: dual-zone automatic up front, its own fan and temperature dial in the second row
Driver memory seating and mirrors, power tilt-and-telescoping column, power adjustable pedals

Tech that still holds up:

SYNC 3 with 8-inch touchscreen and built-in navigation
Sony premium audio
Rear-view camera and rear parking sensors
Push-button start
110V household outlet and charge port for the second row
LED headlamps, fog lamps, power liftgate

Outside it wears the Limited details — chrome grille bars, chrome body-side mouldings and door handles, roof rails, rear spoiler, dual chrome exhaust — on 20-inch polished alloys wrapped in Michelin Premier LTX 255/50R20.

Mechanical Fitness Assessment completed. Extended warranty available. Carfax available on request.

At $19,999, this Explorer stickered at $49,399 new. You're buying Ford's loaded three-row, four-wheel drive, with heated and cooled leather and under 88,000 km, for about forty cents on its original dollar — and for less than plenty of nine-year-old crossovers with one row of seats and twice the kilometres. Low-kilometre Limiteds don't come through Edmonton often.
