The 2025 Ford Explorer: America's Favorite Family SUV Just Got Better!
The best-selling SUV in America is back and better than ever. The 2025 Ford Explorer comes with room for seven and is ready to carry you and your family on new adventures. New for this year, we have a fresh 4-trim lineup, a new grille up front, and stylish taillights in the back.
If you're ready to see it in person, come down to Valor Automotive in Junction City, KS. We have these stylish SUVs lined up on our lot, ready for you to check out.
Ford Explorer Specs
If you're an explorer at heart, you need a vehicle that can keep up. This year, you can choose between two powerhouse engines. The first is the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 Engine. It packs a punch with 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. But if you're looking for even more power, check out the Twin-Turbo 3.0L EcoBoost Engine for 400 hp and 415 lb.-ft. of torque.
Both engines come with a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift Capability. That means smooth shifting and the option to switch to manual mode when you want more control. Finally, when properly equipped with the Class III Trailer Tow Package, you can tow up to 5,000 lbs.
Ford Explorer Interior
Step inside the 2025 Explorer, and you'll see why families love it. With available seating for 7, there's room for everyone (and maybe even the dog). This year, Ford is spicing things up with new colors for the leather seating surfaces. You can choose between the tough-as-nails ActiveX, the super-soft Miko, or luxurious leather.
For those late nights when you want to set the mood, multi-color ambient lighting lets you create the perfect vibe for your ride. And here's a feature parents will love - PowerFold third-row seating. With just the push of a button, you can fold those back seats down flat.
Ford Explorer Exterior
While we've already mentioned the new grille and taillights, the 2025 Explorer still keeps that iconic, rugged look you know and love. Power Liftgate is a real game-changer. No more juggling groceries while trying to open the trunk. Just a quick kick under the bumper and the liftgate. To top it all off, you've got six different wheel options to choose from.
Ford Explorer Technology
For the first time ever, Ford is introducing the Ford Digital Experience. This new software system seamlessly integrates your favorite apps and even offers native streaming and internet. Of course, it works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You can make it your own by setting up your perfect driving position with customized seat, steering wheel, and mirror settings. You can even link your keys and phone.
Access it all on the standard 13.2-inch touchscreen or available 14.1-inch landscape touchscreen. A 980-watt, 14-speaker B&O Unleashed sound system fills the cabin with immersive audio.
Ford Explorer Safety
Driving a full-size SUV gives you a commanding view of the road. The 2025 Explorer enhances your confidence further with helpful Ford Co-Pilot360 technologies. This year's showstopper is BlueCruise. This hands-free driving feature is available on the Explorer for the first time. It takes care of steering, braking, acceleration, and keeping you centered in your lane.
There are also other features, one of our favorites being Evasive Steering Assist. If there's suddenly an obstacle in your path, this feature helps you steer around safely.
Active
The Active trim is your ticket to Explorer ownership. It comes with the 300 hp 2.3L EcoBoost engine and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist with Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering. The Active comes standard with the Class III Trailer Tow Package, giving you that impressive 5,000 lb. max towing capacity.
Inside, you'll enjoy front-row heated seats with 8-way power adjustability. The Ford Digital Experience is front and center on a 13.2" touchscreen, with a 12.3" digital cluster behind the wheel.
ST-Line
Step up to the ST-Line, and you're in for a treat. This is where BlueCruise enters the picture. Hands-free highway driving? Yes, please! You'll get everything from the Active trim, plus some nifty extras like Remote Start. The steering wheel gets an upgrade, too - it's now heated and wrapped in leather with stylish red stitching.
Your tunes will sound better than ever with the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen, featuring ten speakers, including a subwoofer. On the outside, you'll turn heads with 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted pockets and sleek black exterior accents.
ST
Now we're talking power. The ST trim brings the big guns with the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine. You'll ride in style with a sport-tuned suspension and red brake calipers peeking out from behind 21-inch Magnetite-painted aluminum wheels.
Inside, it's all about luxury. Miko seating surfaces with red accent stitching and ST logos aren't just comfortable - they're heated and ventilated. The third row gets an upgrade, too, with PowerFold seats that fold flat at the touch of a button. And if you thought the sound system couldn't get any better, think again. The ST comes with a B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen boasting 980 watts and 14 speakers.
Platinum
The Platinum is the final trim and has all the bells and whistles you could want. The comfortable seats are now Platinum Branded ActiveX trimmed seats with leather perforated inserts. They're heated, ventilated, and the front row has Active Motion massage. Your second-row passengers aren't left out either - their seats are heated too.
Look up, and you'll see the sky through the Twin Panel Moonroof. And if that's not enough, you can add on the Available Lux Leather Package and Available Ultimate Package for even more luxury.
