Models: The lineup includes Active, ST-Line, ST, Platinum, and other trims, each offering unique features and configurations.
Engine Options:
2.3L EcoBoost® I-4: Delivers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.
3.0L EcoBoost® V6: Produces 400 horsepower, enhancing towing and performance capabilities.
Transmission: Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth and efficient shifting.
Seating and Cargo: The Explorer offers seating for up to seven passengers and provides flexible cargo space to accommodate various storage needs.
The 2025 Ford Explorer prioritizes occupant safety with a comprehensive suite of features:
Ford Co-Pilot360™: This standard suite includes Pre-Collision Assist, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®), Lane-Keeping System, and a rearview camera, enhancing driver awareness and accident prevention.
Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ (Available on select trims): Enhances safety with features like adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, evasive steering assist, and speed sign recognition.
BlueCruise (Available on select trims): Ford's hands-free driver-assistance system allows for hands-free driving on pre-mapped highways, enhancing convenience and safety during long drives.
Additional Features: Depending on the trim, the Explorer may offer a 360-degree camera system, rear parking sensors, and advanced airbag systems to further enhance safety.
While primarily designed for personal transportation, the Ford Explorer's attributes make it suitable for certain commercial applications:
Passenger Transport: With seating for up to seven, the Explorer is suitable for shuttle services or transporting groups.
Light Cargo Hauling: The flexible cargo space can accommodate equipment or goods, making it viable for light commercial use.
However, for heavy-duty commercial needs, Ford's Transit and F-Series trucks are more appropriate due to their superior payload and towing capacities.
The Ford Explorer is primarily available in North America, with select trims offered in international markets. In Canada, the 2025 Explorer is available in trims like Active, ST-Line, ST, and Platinum.
