2025 Ford Explorer

The 2025 Ford Explorer offers 4 trims, each with a distinct personality. The minimalist Active trim showcases a sleek design grounded by 18-inch alloy wheels, and a bold grille framed by LED headlamps. LED taillamps follow up the rear where you’ll find a power liftgate, while roof rails offer extra utility. The ST-Line is aggressively designed, making an entrance on 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with black accents from its skid plates to body cladding and mesh grille. Unique blackout treatment on the signature LED headlamps and taillamps provide a final touch. If it’s luxury you’re after, the Platinum provides, upgrading to adaptive headlamps and adding a twin-panel moonroof, power-folding, heated side mirrors, heated glass surfaces for frosty mornings, and a stunning chrome-and-ebony grille. For the boldest presence with luxury and attitude in equal measure, the ST trim shows off an exclusive Vapor Blue exterior shade and a black roof, offset by 21-inch Magnetite-painted wheels with red performance brake calipers. With appearance packages and accessories to support your passions, the Explorer is tailored to you.
