Ford Explorer

The entry-level edition of this SUV features space for up to seven people, a power liftgate to make loading and unloading a breeze, and FordPass Connect™ with 4G LTE capability turning your car into a Wi-Fi hotspot.

It’s all about making connections in the Explorer. The SYNC® 3 system with an 8-inch LCD touchscreen keeps you up to date with the latest happenings on the road, thanks to Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility.

Everyone will be comfortable inside the Ford Explorer, thanks to the tri-zone automatic temperature control feature with auxiliary rear controls. Let passengers set their own temperature, without having to compromise.

Ford Explorer XLT

The highly versatile Explorer XLT offers second-row captain’s chairs with E-Z Entry and a step-over center floor console. This kind of flexibility is joined by a 10-way power driver’s seat and a 4-way power front-passenger seat. Find the perfect seating setup on each drive you take.

A leather-wrapped steering wheel is thrown in to make the cabin feel more luxurious. Grip the wheel, hit the roads, and discover what lies ahead.

Ford Explorer Limited

The distinguished silver-painted grille on the Ford Explorer Limited makes a statement. Step inside, and you’ll soon see the rest of this trim level does as well thanks to leather trim with accent stitching.

You’ll get a clearer view of what’s happening around the car too thanks to the 360-Degree Camera with Split-View Display and washer. When you know what’s going on around you, you’re able to enjoy a more confident trip.

The steering wheel adds heated functionality, warming your hands up on a cold winter’s day. Less chattering of the teeth, and more adventure, please.

Ford Explorer ST

While the entry-level 300-horsepower 4-cylinder engine is authoritative, the ST takes things to new heights. The specially tuned 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine puts out 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, providing you with a powerful and engaging drive.

With the Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive with Terrain Management System on this edition of the Explorer, you’ll choose from seven different driving modes, giving you the traction you need.

On the ST style matters too. The blackout treatment on headlamps and taillamps is impressive, as is the high-gloss black ST grille with a sharp red ST logo. Let everyone know what Explorer you’re driving with the ST.

Ford Explorer Platinum

What is the difference between Ford Explorer Sport and platinum? When luxury is your game, the Ford Explorer Platinum is the name. A boldly-designed exterior includes satin-aluminum accents. Inside, the door and front-console armrests, instrument panel, and door-trim inserts are bathed in leather.

Luxurious leather-trimmed seats with perforated inserts come with accent stitching and the Platinum logo right on the seat backs.

You can also add in the Premium Technology Package, which features a large 10.1-inch LCD touchscreen and a 14-speaker sound system, to get the most out of the Explorer experience.
