Comfortable and Connected Interior

Step inside the 2025 Explorer's spacious cabin, and you'll find comfortable accommodations for up to seven passengers. Three rows of seats provide plenty of space for kids, friends, or any combination of riders and cargo. Behind the third row, there are 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space, which expands to a generous 87.8 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded. Platinum and ST models substitute captain's chairs in the second row for airy comfort. Quality cloth upholstery is standard, while chic ActiveX™ synthetic and genuine leather are available on select trims.

At the heart of every Explorer is a vibrant infotainment system with a large 13.2-inch touchscreen. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ smartphone connectivity come standard for easy access to your apps, maps, and more. An embedded navigation system is also included on most trims. Near Hagerstown, MD, you'll appreciate the Explorer's standard FordPass Connect™ system that turns the SUV into a mobile 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, keeping everyone connected on the go.

Potent Performance

Under the hood, the 2025 Explorer offers two compelling turbocharged engine options to power your adventures around Shippensburg and beyond. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder engine generates 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. For maximum muscle, step up to the available 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 that pumps out an exhilarating 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Both engines are mated to a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission for optimal performance and efficiency.

Rear-wheel drive is standard, while Ford's sophisticated Intelligent four-wheel drive system is available for confident traction in rough conditions. When properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds, letting you bring along a small boat or camper. No matter where your travels take you around Fayetteville, PA, the Explorer's stout, unibody construction, and independent suspension provide a smooth, controlled ride.

Advanced Safety Features

Your safety is paramount, so the 2025 Explorer offers a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. Every Explorer comes standard with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane keeping assist, and automatic high beam headlamps. Reverse brake assist and evasive steering assist are also new standards for 2025. For the ultimate peace of mind, opt for the available Ford BlueCruise, which combines adaptive cruise control, lane-centering, and speed sign recognition to let the Explorer drive itself on certain highways.
