Adventure Awaits with the 2025 Ford Explorer

Strong Performance and Towing

When it comes to performance, the 2025 Explorer is ready for challenges with its optional Intelligent 4WD and base 2.3-liter I-4 engine, which delivers 300 horsepower alongside 310 pound-feet of torque. If more output is needed, you can go with the ST trim, which packs a turbocharged 3.0-liter engine under its hood that generates 400 horses and 415 pound-feet of torque. The standard all-season tires and multiple drive modes provide reliable versatility, while towing strength maxes out at 5,000 pounds.

A Comfortable and Upscale Cabin

This SUV’s interior has tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control, as well as a cabin particulate air filter to reduce pollutants and a rear auxiliary climate control. The steering wheel, which comes with audio and cruise control functions, also offers an available heating function in select trim. Also heated, the 10-way power driver and 4-way power front passenger seats can be ventilated in select trims, and the optional Panoramic Vista Roof expands across both the first and second rows.

Stylish and Ready for Adventures

The Explorer’s design comes with standard LED headlamps, LED taillamps, and offers five paint color options: Space White, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Star White Metallic Tri-Coat, Agate Black Metallic, and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat. Tough weather is no problem with the rear privacy glass, heated sideview mirrors, optional fog lamps, and on select models, rain-sensing wipers. The standard power liftgate makes cargo loading easier, and the roof-rack side rails on every model are perfect for bike racks and cargo boxes.

Next-Level Technology Features

Standard technology in this SUV includes the Ford Digital Experience infotainment system, an MP3-compatible AM/FM audio system, a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, and 4-Door Intelligent Access. When it comes to charging personal devices, there are three standard 12-volt outlets, a front-row media hub with both type-A and type-C USB ports, two type-C USB ports in the center console, another two in the second row, and two more in the third row. A wireless charging pad is also available for select trims.

Intelligent Driver-Assist Systems

Taking safety and convenience to the next level, this SUV’s standard driver-assist highlights include Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, and Intersection Assist 2.0 to help you avoid front and side collisions. Reversing is also made simpler and safer with the standard Rear View Camera with Backup Assist Grid Lines, Reverse Parking Assist, and, on select trims, Reverse Brake Assist.
