With its spacious interior, advanced technology, and powerful performance, the 2025 Ford Explorer is the ideal family vehicle. Let’s explore some of the impressive features that make this full-size SUV so popular.
Flexible Space
The Explorer has seating for seven, so it’s ideal for growing families or for carpooling. The second row captain’s chairs come with the E-Z Entry feature, so you can slide or tilt them to access the third row. This makes loading or unloading small children or gear much easier.
There is a spacious cargo area behind the third row that’s perfect for carrying groceries, luggage, or sports equipment. If you need more space than that, folding down the rear seats gives you up to 85.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity.
Comfortable Interior
The Explorer provides comfort and convenience for the driver and passengers. The first row has heated, power adjustable seats and the steering wheel is also heated. The tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control maintains a set temperature for the driver, front passenger, and rear passengers.
Family-Friendly Technology
The Explorer comes with Ford Digital Experience, which offers top-tier customization. You can download Google apps and enjoy them on the 13.2-inch touchscreen. You can also store personalized settings for your steering wheel, exterior mirrors, and driver’s seat.
The infotainment system wirelessly integrates with your smartphone and supports voice recognition, so it’s easy to make calls, send texts, play music, and access your navigation. It also comes with Wi-Fi hotspot capability, so your family never gets bored, even on long trips. USB ports on all three rows allow everyone to keep their devices charged.
Advanced Driver Assistance
Sometimes driving on the highway gets monotonous, so it’s easy to get distracted. Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane-Centering helps with that. You set your preferred speed just as you would with traditional cruise control, but the vehicle is able to slow, stop, and resume speed as needed to adjust to traffic flow. It also keeps you centered within your lane as long as the lane is detected.
Other standard safety features include rear parking sensors, blind spot monitor, auto high beams, and pre-collision assist.
Power and Performance
With its 300-horsepower 2.3L EcoBoost engine and 10-speed automatic transmission, the Explorer has the power and responsiveness it needs for your active lifestyle. It comes with the Class III Trailer Tow package and has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. It comes with rear-wheel drive with six selectable modes that allow you to adjust your vehicle settings to accommodate your driving conditions. Intelligent all-wheel drive is an available option, and it comes with seven modes and hill descent control.
