2025 Ford Explorer Capability

Engine choices for the 2025 Ford Explorer offer something for everyone, from efficiency to power. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine combines turbocharged performance with impressive fuel economy, making it ideal for daily commutes or family road trips. Drivers seeking more power can opt for the 3.0L EcoBoost® V6, which delivers robust towing capability and a thrilling ride, perfect for those who demand more from their SUV. For an eco-conscious option, the Explorer's hybrid powertrain balances excellent gas mileage with enough power to handle towing and tough terrain. These engines are paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a responsive and enjoyable driving experience no matter where you're headed. 

The 2025 Explorer ST, engineered by Ford Performance, takes power and fun to the next level with exciting new options. Its specially tuned 3.0-liter EcoBoost® engine delivers an impressive 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque, they are making it the most thrilling Explorer to drive yet. Rear-wheel drive comes standard for an authentic performance feel, with four-wheel drive available for added capability. Every Explorer ST and ST-Line customer gets access to the complimentary Ford Performance Racing School's ST Driving Experience, where they can learn to maximize their vehicle's potential. Sessions are held in stunning locations like Park City, Utah, or Asheville, North Carolina. For those who love the bold ST look without the performance upgrades, the Explorer ST-Line offers the same standout styling in a more everyday package. New for this year, customers can choose Vapor Blue Metallic paint on the ST, ST-Line, and Active models, along with fresh options like a sleek black-painted roof and striking 21-inch Magnetite-painted aluminum wheels.

Certain trims of the 2025 Explorer come equipped with Ford BlueCruise hardware, bringing hands-free highway driving to make long road trips and navigating stop-and-go traffic a breeze. With features like Lane Change Assist, drivers can switch lanes hands-free with just a tap of the turn signal when the coast is clear. In-lane repositioning further enhances comfort by subtly shifting the vehicle to provide more space when nearby cars are too close. BlueCruise takes care of the braking, accelerating, and steering, reducing driving stress and helping you feel refreshed at your destination. New Explorer owners can activate a Connected Services plan at purchase for a full year of access or enjoy a complimentary 90-day trial to experience hands-free driving. After the trial, they can choose a flexible annual or monthly subscription based on their preferences.
