When your family is ready for adventure, the 2025 Ford Explorer is the SUV to take you further than the competition. That’s because it’s rugged, reliable, and designed to excel. The Explorer is absolutely built to be the pinnacle of the modern family SUV. Explore how the 2025 Ford Explorer is designed for your next adventure.

Rugged and Ready

The 2025 Ford Explorer has the power to take your family further than you ever thought you could go. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost power plant offers drivers a full 300 horsepower to conquer any terrain, while the Explorer ST includes an even beefier 3.0-liter V6 EcoBoost that makes a full 400 horsepower and includes a sport-tuned suspension. Intelligent 4WD is available on every trim, offering drivers 6 selectable Drive Modes to perfectly match the terrain.

The Explorer is also built for towing. Its towing capability of up to 5,000 pounds makes it the perfect SUV to bring along your boat, camper, or ATV trailer. It’s also designed to make trailering easier than ever. A Class III Trailer Tow Package comes standard, alongside a Trailer Sway Control system to reduce trailer yaw both on the road and off.

Comfortable and Roomy

There’s plenty of room for everyone and everything inside the Explorer. Three rows of seating mean up to 7 can ride in comfort. The steering wheel and both front seats are heated in every trim, making for a cozy clime in even the chilliest weather. Standard, subscription-enabled Wi-Fi Hotspot capability makes the Explorer the center of campsite communications.

Seating material options include cloth, Miko, and leather, letting families pick their preferred level of comfort. For families who like to jam out with their favorite songs, the available Bang & Olufsen 13-speaker sound system is a particular delight, making family jam sessions more fun than ever.

Smart Enough to Drive Itself

The 2025 Explorer is built to take the wheel and reduce driver workload on your next journey. That’s because almost every trim is equipped to utilize BlueCruise technology, an available suite of driver-assist technologies that lets drivers go hands-free on 97% of controlled access highways in the US and Canada. That frees the driver up to enjoy the view or focus on what really matters: the people who matter most.

Of course, there’s plenty of high-tech gadgetry to keep the whole cabin happy. The Ford SYNC powered 13.2-inch touchscreen offers bright and beautiful graphics. The subscription-enabled FordPass Connect suite includes 5G Wi-Fi Hotspot connectivity to keep everyone’s devices connected. The multiple power points can keep devices charged alongside two standard USB-C charging ports in the second and row and a bevy of front-row charge ports.
