Discover the Trim Levels of the 2025 Ford Explorer: Built for the Family

Active

The base-level Active trim has more than enough power to get the job done, even before any upgrades. It has a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that provides 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque with premium fuel in the tank.

Inside, there is seating for seven with luxury features for all. Enjoy the first-row heated seats, a 10-way power driver seat, and tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control. Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist is included as standard, offering blind spot assist, adaptive cruise control, and pre-collision assist.

ST-Line

Style and comfort are the name of the game with the ST-Line. With an active subscription, Ford BlueCruise-Equipped Hands-Free Highway Driving allows you to cruise on the freeway with peace of mind. The cloth seating materials with red stitching are both durable and stylish. And the 20-inch wheels give the exterior a bolder, more confident look.

Platinum

If you’re looking for a little extra power, the Platinum might be the trim for you. You can opt for the available 3-liter turbocharged V6 engine with 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque for extra acceleration on the highway or power when navigating steep country backroads. The exterior is sure to catch the eye too, with its silver-painted skid plates in front and rear.

Inside, the standard Panoramic Vista Roof with Power Shade allows you to experience the light of the sun or moon while you drive. A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel and leather-covered armrests add some extra touches of class.

ST

The Explorer ST comes with the V6 engine as standard, so you can enjoy maximum power. It’s the fastest Explorer ever made, but its impressive performance goes far beyond simple speed. The Explorer ST uses sport-tuned suspension and a 3.58 non-limited slip rear axle to ensure impressive levels of stability and control when cornering or navigating difficult roads.

The exterior of the vehicle gets an upgrade too, with stylish flourishes like a body-color rear spoiler, unique blackout treatment on the headlamps and LED taillamps, and quad chrome exhaust tips. Power-folding side mirrors with heated glass, LED turn signal indicators, and ST projection lamps add a final touch of excellence.
