Performance
The 2025 Ford Explorer delivers power and refinement with a lineup of efficient powertrains. Its starting 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine gets you impressive fuel economy figures, making it terrific for commuters or road trippers. With 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, it delivers more than enough oomph for towing and accelerating, along with solid fuel efficiency.
Step up to the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine and your output increases to 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. Either powertrain enables your Explorer to tow up to 5,000 lbs, making it ready for campers and boats. Are you planning to move something particularly large and heavy? This model is capable of towing large trailers, so you can skip the rental fees and just take your everyday ride.
A ten-speed automatic transmission enables smooth gear shifts while ensuring you get the power you need when towing or accelerating. It masterfully optimizes the already efficient engines.
The 2025 Explorer also boasts six distinct drive modes, so your SUV will be ready for whatever the roads have in store. Normal Mode is your baseline. Eco Mode optimizes fuel efficiency for longer stretches between gas stops. Sport Mode delivers a more thrilling and precise behind-the-wheel feel. Tow/Haul Mode optimizes vehicle dynamics for towing. Slippery Mode gives you the traction you need on slick surfaces. Off-Road Mode optimizes dynamics for days you leave the pavement.
Do you intend to brave wet roads, gravel, or unpaved terrain? Check out the available intelligent 4WD. It monitors for a loss of traction, automatically sending power to the wheels that need it most. So you don't need to choose between permanent 4WD or RWD; you can drive in RWD for optimal fuel efficiency, and let 4WD take over when the time comes.
The 2025 Ford Explorer delivers safety you can count on, with a suite of driver assistance features. The lane-keeping aid and alert let you know when you're drifting and help you remain centered. Available rear parking sensors notify you when you're getting near objects while parking. A rearview camera with backup assist gridlines can help you back into spots or out of driveways with precision. Reverse braking assistance can apply automatic hard braking when in reverse to avoid a collision.
A blind spot information system will notify you of vehicles approaching your hard-to-see areas. Adaptive cruise control maintains your desired speed automatically, while maintaining your desired following distance.
Perhaps the most popular driver assistance feature, though, is BlueCruise. This available hands-free driving tool can perform many maneuvers for you, including steering, braking, centering, and even handling lane changes in select situations. If you put in a lot of time behind the wheel, you'll love letting BlueCruise take over so you can take a break (while keeping your eyes on the road, of course).
Technology
Do you love elevated technology? You'll find it in the 2025 Ford Explorer. The 12.3-inch productivity screen will serve as your command center, where you'll view your turn-by-turn directions, select media, review incoming texts, and so much more. Thanks to wireless smartphone compatibility, you can project your Apple or Android apps directly onto the 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen for easier viewing and control.
With a wireless charging pad, keeping your devices charged on the road is easy, too. With wireless smartphone connectivity, as well, the 2025 Explorer gives you the freedom to leave the USB cords at home and keep your cockpit tidy. Your passengers can easily plug in, thanks to a generous number of USB ports. You'll find one USB-A and USB-C port each in the first row and two USB-C ports in the center console, easily accessible to second-row riders.
Do you need to stay connected on the road? Whether you don't have a phone hotspot or service is spotty, you'll still have internet access thanks to the FordPass Connect 5G Wi-Fi hotspot. You and your crew can check emails, scroll social media, stream shows, and more from the road.
Do you love listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks while you cruise? The 14-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound system, complete with a subwoofer, will turn your cabin into a premium listening studio. We're confident that tech enthusiasts will light up when they see all that's inside the 2025 Explorer.
Interior
Are you traveling with finicky kids or demanding adults? The 2025 Explorer's cabin will keep even the most discerning passengers happy while making your days easier. With available second-row heated leather seats, you can ensure your backseat riders enjoy full-body warmth on winter days.
Up front, you'll have access to heated and ventilated seats for all-weather comfort. With the option for cloth or leather upholstery, you can create the look and feel you want. Plus, the available multicontour massaging seats will melt stress right out of your muscles after a long day.
Look up and you may notice the panoramic vista sunroof, which is optional on all but the topmost trim. You can let in natural light on sunny days, take in the sights on road trips, or simply enjoy your surroundings during your commute. When you want shade because passengers want to rest or stream shows without glare on their screens, simply close the shade.
Moving through the rear of the vehicle, the available PowerFold third-row seats let you create more cargo space at the push of a button. No need to manually struggle to get those seats down! With both rear rows down, you access 85.8 cu.ft. of cargo space. So whether you went a little overboard at the mall or are packing up for a road trip, the Explorer can accommodate your things.
Accessing your cargo is easy, too, thanks to the standard power liftgate. It easily opens at the push of a button on your keyfob or the dashboard. So when you're picking up that curbside grocery order, just press a button and the trunk will open for the attendant.
As an added finishing touch, Ford gave the Explorer ambient lighting. You can choose from several lighting colors to create the atmosphere you want. So keep things calm after a long day, or turn up the energy for a big night out. The inside of the 2025 Ford Explorer might just be your new favorite place to be.
