Welcome.

Our models are only loosely based on the US models but for all intents and purposes you can call it an xlt. They stopped selling the explorer over here in 2001 so there are no newer models. The only way to get a RHD newer model is to import one from Australia or persuade a dealer to get you a RHD model direct from Ford USA.

If you read the other posts you will see we are having a get together just down the road from you soon and you would be more than welcome to come along.
