The 2025 Ford Explorer: A Legacy SUV Evolved for Modern Adventures

The Ford Explorer, a symbol of American adventure, has been a driver favorite for over 30 years. Now, for 2025, the iconic SUV gets a refresh, blending its familiar ruggedness with modern technology and refined styling. And of course, it’s always nice to be first: the 2025 Explorer is the first Ford vehicle to offer the impressive new Digital Experience technology package. Let’s delve into the features, upgrades, and capabilities of this latest Explorer, available by pre-order now from D’Orazio Ford in Wilmington, IL!.

 

 

A Modern Take on a Classic:

At first glance, the 2025 Explorer retains its recognizable silhouette, but the details reveal its contemporary evolution. The grille gets a bolder design, the headlights are sleeker, and the taillights feature a stylish LED signature. Explorer’s interior boasts a redesigned dashboard with a larger touchscreen and improved materials throughout. 

Trim Levels for Every Adventure:

Whether you’re driving on smooth pavement or rugged paths, there’s an Explorer trim for you, in a range of colors and styles. Choose from:

  • Active: The base model, offering excellent value with essential features.
  • ST-Line: Adds a sporty touch with unique exterior styling and a more powerful engine.
  • Platinum: The top-of-the-line trim, boasting luxury features and technology.

Power Up Your Drive:

Two engine options power the new 2025 Explorer:

  • 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4: This turbocharged engine delivers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, perfect for daily commutes and light hauling.
  • 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 (ST model only): This powerhouse cranks out 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, ideal for towing and tackling tougher terrains.

Both engines are paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission and offer rear-wheel drive or intelligent four-wheel drive for added capability.

Hauling and Towing Power:

The Explorer has always been known for its ability to handle cargo and trailers, and the 2025 model upholds this tradition. Check out these numbers: With up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and a maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds, it can handle anything from groceries to a weekend camping trailer. 

Keeping You Safe and Connected:

As Car and Driver® points out, Ford continues to prioritize safety in the new 2025 Explorer, equipping it with a suite of driver-assist technologies like automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane departure warning. The available Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package adds even more features for added peace of mind.
