The much anticipated 2025 Ford Explorer is here, ready to offer a riding experience like no other. Boasting a well-crafted exterior, a spacious, tech-savvy cabin and powerful engines, this three-row SUV is the ultimate road trip companion. Let’s dive into what makes the new Explorer a true standout.
1. Reliable Performance
Motivating the base Explorer is a 300-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-4 engine, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. There’s also an available 400-horsepower 3-liter inline-6 engine. Rear-wheel drive is the default drivetrain, while 4-wheel drive is available. Performance is enhanced with the Terrain Management System, designed to adjust the car’s driving dynamics to suit your driving terrain.
The trailer sway control helps keep your trailer or camper stable while towing. Enjoy hands-free driving on designated highways with Ford BlueCruise technology. When properly equipped, the 2025 Explorer can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
2. Top-Notch Safety Tech
Ford vehicles are popular for their advanced safety features, so it’s no wonder the all-new Explorer has your back, no matter where you drive to. Every Explorer comes with AdvanceTrac with roll stability control to help you stay in control of your vehicle during challenging road conditions and an auto hold to help keep the vehicle at a complete stop until you press the accelerator.
The pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking will scan the road ahead and notify you of potential collisions with cars or pedestrians detected in your path, while the rearview camera provides clear images of your rear area while backing up. The standard Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ also features a lane-keeping system, a blind spot information system, and rear cross-traffic alert.
3. Comfortable and Luxurious Interior
The 2025 Explorer has ample space for six to seven people, depending on the configuration. It is the first Ford to implement the Ford Digital Experience. This new software lets you access your favorite apps and services from Google, Amazon, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay through compatible devices. When your car is parked, you can stream videos from YouTube, browse the internet and play games through Google Play.
The rear auxiliary climate control and tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control also come standard, ensuring everyone is comfortable during different weather conditions. Other standard features include FordPass Connect with 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, SiriusXM, first-row heated seats and a 10-way power driver seat.
There are a whole lot of reasons why the Explorer is in high demand in the automotive market. It has plenty of seating and cargo space and multiple selectable drive modes to ensure a smooth and comfortable ride.
