The 2025 Ford Explorer keeps family life moving, from playdates and school drop-offs to weekend road trips and home improvement hauls. Every family moves a little differently, so the lineup includes four trims.
Active
The Active is the versatile, well-equipped base model. With a 300-horsepower 2.3L EcoBoost engine, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive, it has the power you need for your stop-and-go city driving as well as your open-road cruising. With the standard Class III Trailer Tow Package, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds. The terrain management system comes with six selectable drive modes so you can adjust key vehicle settings to accommodate different weather or road conditions.
The Explorer seats seven on its three-row layout, and the first row is heated and power-adjustable. Tri-zone automatic climate control ensures comfort year-round.
Technology and Safety
The Explorer comes with Ford Digital Experience to keep you connected and entertained. It features Google built-in and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you can access your calls, texts, maps, and favorite apps by voice command or on the 13.2-inch touchscreen. It also comes with Wi-Fi hotspot capability and a six-speaker audio system. Standard driver-assistance features include rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go.
ST-Line
If you’d like to keep the 2.3L powertrain while ramping up the attitude, consider the ST-Line. It adds aggressive black exterior accents, signature LED lighting, and 20-inch wheels. Inside, it features durable cloth seating with bold red stitching. You’ll also see the red stitching on the heated steering wheel and inside the doors.
The ST-Line adds remote start so you can pre-cool or pre-heat your vehicle before getting in and heated second-row seats for enhanced comfort on chilly mornings. The premium 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system provides a richer listening experience.
ST
The ST is a sporty-looking SUV with the boosted power to match. It comes equipped with a 400-horsepower 3.0L V6 engine and a sport-tuned suspension for effortless merging and confident passing. Red brake calipers, 21-inch Magnetite wheels, and paddle shifters add to the performance feel. Miko seating surfaces with red stitching and a heated sport-style steering wheel give the interior an air of sporty sophistication. Ambient lighting helps set the tone, and wireless charging adds convenience.
Platinum
The Platinum trim leans into refinement with a Satin Chrome and Ebony grille, Satin roof rails, and 20-inch Luster Nickel wheels. The panoramic Vista Roof brightens the cabin, and leather seating with heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats keeps long trips relaxed. BlueCruise offers hands-free help on compatible highways, and a 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system provides road trip-worthy sound.
