Trim Levels of the 2025 Ford Explorer: Family Adventure Awaits
Active
The Active is the ideal trim for families who want capability, space, and value. Its 300-horsepower 2.3L EcoBoost engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission to deliver responsive performance whether you're navigating city streets or hitting the open road. The exterior features a bold black grille with a chrome bar, 18-inch Sparkle Silver wheels, and modern LED lighting. Inside, there's seating for seven across three spacious rows, with heated, power-adjustable seats in the front. Tri-zone automatic temperature control helps keep your passengers comfortable year-round.
Technology and Safety
Ford Digital Experience comes standard and delivers a highly personalized experience. The 13.2-inch touchscreen has access to Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play, so you can use all your favorite apps right through the vehicle. It also features wireless smartphone integration, Alexa, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Even on adventures, your family's safety is a top priority, and the Explorer Active is loaded with driver-assistance features like adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and lane-centering, rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, and a lane keeping system.
ST-Line
The ST-Line is perfect for families who love the bold, athletic personality of the ST but prefer the efficiency of the standard 2.3L engine. It features blacked-out exterior trim, a unique grille, exclusive badging, and 20-inch wheels. Inside, it has premium cloth seats with red stitching and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel with red stitching for a performance-inspired feel. A 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system ensures a premium listening experience for your family.
The ST-Line offers upgrades in safety too. Ford BlueCruise allows you to drive hands-free on selected roads, and the 360-degree camera provides better visibility when parking, changing lanes, and backing up.
ST
If your family craves performance, the ST delivers with a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 that generates 400 horsepower. A sport-tuned suspension, paddle shifters, and performance brakes work together to create an exhilarating driving experience. The ST stands out with 21-inch Magnetite wheels, a mesh grille, and red-painted brake calipers. Inside, premium Miko seating, exclusive ST branding, and heated and ventilated front seats combine sporty style with comfort.
It also adds wireless charging and an upgraded 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. The ST trim is ideal for drivers who want the versatility of an SUV with the performance of a sport vehicle.
Platinum
For families who enjoy more refined travel, the upscale Platinum trim offers elegance and sophistication. Satin roof rails, a signature grille, and 20-inch Pearl Nickel wheels create a polished exterior. Inside, the Platinum features premium branded leather seating, with heated, ventilated, multicontour front seats for luxurious comfort. The panoramic Vista Roof fills the cabin with natural light during the day and gives your family a stunning view of the stars at night.
