There’s a reason the Ford Explorer is the best-selling SUV in America. With a long legacy of power, roominess, and top-notch capability, the Explorer line has been a stalwart SUV since its introduction. But what can the 2025 edition bring to the table? Let’s discover the capable, luxurious, and rugged 2025 Ford Explorer.

Powerful and Capable

With a turbocharged, 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine making 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, the 2025 Explorer has plenty of power for adventure. Gas-pressurized hydraulic shocks and a sophisticated suspension system help absorb the bumps, no matter what terrain you prowl, and four-wheel drive is available for those whose idea of adventure begins where the pavement ends.

But there’s an even more powerful engine on offer. The twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 makes 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, making the well-muscled Explorer even beefier. And with up to seven drive modes available through the standard Terrain Management System, the Explorer can tune its drive for almost any conditions you may face either on or off the road.

Cargo Capacity Galore

With all three rows upright, the 2025 Explorer offers seating for up to seven alongside 16.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity, the Explorer is plenty big. But fold the rear two rows, and the inside becomes a cavern for hauling almost anything, almost anywhere, offering 85.3 cubic feet of space for even the mightiest shopping haul.

And with power to spare, both powertrains of the Explorer offer up to 5,000 pounds of towing capability, letting Explorer families haul along a boat, camper, or even other adventure vehicles for the journey.

Luxury Comes Standard

Even the entry-level Active trim of the 2025 Explorer comes with plenty of creature comforts. Heated, power-adjustable front seats, standard 5G LTE Wi-Fi capability, a Class III Trailer Tow Package, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ systems are all standard. USB-C ports appear in every row, and the instrument panel cluster comes with a massive 13.2-inch LCD Productivity Screen for both infotainment and vehicle monitoring.

Of course, there’s always more on offer. A heated steering wheel, ambient LED lighting, a power liftgate, and PowerFold third-row seats are all on offer. There’s a Bang & Olufsen acoustic soundbar available for high-quality listening, and the top-rated Ford BlueCruise hand-free highway driving technology is available on some trims to let your Explorer take the wheel on 97% of North American highways.

Peace of Mind

With the 2024 Explorer earning a coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award, it’s no wonder Explorer families feel safe on the road. Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ includes standard safety features like blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic detection, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping assistance for a safer and easier drive.

The 2025 Explorer has the power, capability, comfort, and technology to turn any journey into an adventure. Test drive yours today at Bob Maxey Ford of Howell in Howell, MI
