The 2025 Ford Explorer Offers Versatility and Strength

With a luxurious three-row cabin that seats up to eight passengers and reliable performance in challenging driving conditions, the 2025 Ford Explorer offers the best of all worlds.

 

Among this edition's four trim levels are two engines that are both turbocharged: a 300-horsepower 2.3-liter I-4 and a 400-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. Regardless of which one you choose, both provide exceptional fuel efficiency on long-distance drives, with the smaller I-4 getting up to 29 MPG in estimated mileage and the larger V6 offering up to 25 MPG. You can also bring trailers or campers with you on adventures, as this SUV can tow up to 5,000 pounds when fully equipped.

 

Also known for its impressive off-road capabilities, this edition has available Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive, which automatically calibrates the vehicle's traction and performance to match your surroundings. This system comes alongside Ford's Terrain Management System, a convenient feature that lets you choose between different drive modes with the push of a button. 

 

The Explorer's cabin features three rows of seating, and moving the second- and third-row seats out of the way is simple with your choice of E-Z Entry captain's chairs or a split-folding bench seat for the second row, depending on the trim level, and the standard split-folding bench seat in the third row. In many upper trims, the first two rows take comfort to the next level with standard heating and ventilation up front and heating in the second row.

 

With a standard power liftgate outside, as well as heated side mirrors and roof-rack side rails, this SUV was designed with both convenience and adventures in mind. Select trims offer both standard front and rear skid plate elements for tackling off-road terrains, and the vehicle's stylish appearance is elevated by a body-color rear spoiler, body-color door handles, optional LED signature lighting, and standout paint color options like Vapor Blue, Rapid Red Tinted Clear Coat, Agate Black Metallic, and Carbonized Gray.

 

This SUV also boasts high-tech entertainment and safety features, including the Ford Digital Experience, an infotainment system that has a 13.2-inch full-color touchscreen. The instrument cluster has a 12.3-inch display, and while a six-speaker audio system is standard in the base model, others come with either a 10-speaker B&O audio system or one with 14 speakers. The rear view camera, pre collision assist with automatic emergency braking, and the lane keeping system are just some of the many driver-assist features included.
