2025 Ford Explorer

The 2025 Ford Explorer offers four trim levels, each with a new grille and LED taillights that stretch across the back for a modern look. The Active trim has 18-inch Sparkle Silver-painted aluminum wheels, LED headlamps and taillamps, and a convenient power liftgate. The bold ST-Line trim comes with 20-inch machined aluminum wheels featuring painted pockets, a unique ST-Line grille, and sleek black roof-rack side rails. For performance enthusiasts, the ST trim offers 21-inch machined aluminum wheels, quad chrome exhaust tips, and exclusive "ST" badging. The luxurious Platinum trim has 21-inch bright machined-face aluminum wheels with Luster Nickel-painted pockets, a unique grille, and satin aluminum finish exterior accents.

This midsize SUV offers a choice between two powerful engines. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine delivers 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. For those seeking more power, the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine (standard on the ST and available on the Platinum trim) generates 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Both motors are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The 2025 Ford Explorer offers smooth and responsive driving. A towing capacity of up to 5,600 pounds makes it ideal for hauling boats or trailers.
