2025 Ford Explorer Brings Some Big Changes

The 2025 Ford Explorer SUV continues its role as a suburban family shuttle with a few minor cosmetic updates and some new tech to keep things fresh. The lineup has been culled, with the Base, Limited, King Ranch, and Timberline trims exiled. (Rumor is the off-road-oriented Timberline will return soon with upgrades.) Both of the Explorer's powertrains-a turbocharged four-cylinder and a twin-turbo V-6, each with a 10-speed automatic transmission-remain in place, as does the choice of rear- or all-wheel drive. The Explorer's strong point is its family-friendly interior and third-row functionality. While that back row is not as comfortable as in some rivals, just knowing that it's there for when you need it buys some peace of mind. Fold it down, and it reveals a reasonable amount of cargo space.
The lineup has been reduced to just four trims: the base Active, ST-Line, ST, and Platinum. The front fascia is mildly reworked with a new grille, headlights, and lower air inlets, while the rear gets new taillights. Platinum, ST, and ST-Line buyers can spec a new black-painted roof option, and, more significantly, can for the first time add the BlueCruise hands-free driving feature. Interior updates are focused on comfort and upgraded materials and incorporate new soft-touch surfaces on the center console and door panels, and new color schemes. The 2025 Explorer is the first Ford to implement the Ford Digital Experience, a fancy name for its new software system that is designed to easily integrate a user's favorite apps and provide native streaming and internet browsing while parked.
