2025 Ford Explorer

The 2025 Ford Explorer offers a diverse range of trim levels, each uniquely styled while possessing the Explorer’s inherent DNA. The Active trim introduces a rugged design with black bodyside cladding and roof rails, silver-painted skid plates, 18-inch 5-spoke aluminum wheels, and a dynamic grille. The ST-Line exudes sportiness with its all-black accents, from the black mesh grille and black-painted roof right down to its skid plates. Unique blackout treatment on the LED headlamps, taillamps, and fog lamps, along with aggressive 20-inch Ebony-painted wheels top off its standout look. The Platinum epitomizes sophistication, showcasing satin aluminum accents, adaptive lighting, rain-sensing wipers, and a panoramic roof. If you crave high-performance aesthetics, the ST trim rolls in on 21-inch Magnetite-painted wheels with red performance brake calipers, showing off a rear spoiler, sport-tuned suspension, quad chrome exhaust tips and announces itself with exclusive badging. All trims boast signature LED lighting, a power liftgate, and heated, power side mirrors with an auto-folding feature in top-tier trims. With colors like Vapor Blue and Rapid Red Metallic, each trim commands attention while meeting functional demands.

The 2025 Explorer offers 2 powerful engine options with turbocharging. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine produces 300 hp and 310 lbs.-ft. of torque, offering excellent efficiency for commutes, and a turbocharged kick of acceleration.
