Ford Explorer Base

If you need an SUV without any expensive bells and whistles, you’re looking for the Ford Explorer Base. Starting at this trim level, the Ford Explorer comes standard with a 2.3L EcoBoost® engine, producing 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. Those numbers are no joke, but of course, neither is your daily drive. Even at the base, the Ford Explorer aims to make your drive powerful and convenient, with an intuitive Reverse Sensing System and rear parking sensors.

Ford Explorer XLT

The perfect level-up from the previous trim level, the Ford Explorer XLT features the Terrain Management System™ with 3D-animated graphics and selectable drive modes. When you add the upholstered front bucket seats and 87.8 cu.ft. of total cargo space, the Ford Explorer XLT provides just enough comfort and capability to support an average family with an adventurous spirit.

Ford Explorer ST-Line

Elevate your SUV’s performance with the Ford Explorer ST-Line’s EPA-estimated 28 MPG city range. This sporty model also rocks ActiveX™ seats and stunning red stitching throughout the interior. To help set the mood for your ride, the Ford Explorer ST-Line features a 12-speaker B&O® Sound System with impressively clear sound quality.

Ford Explorer Timberline

Next-level off-roaders will love the Ford Explorer Timberline. This tricked-out Ford Explorer trim level was built to live up to its name. Feel free to explore to your heart’s content with enhanced ground clearance and the Ford Explorer Timberline’s 3.58 TORSEN® Limited-Slip Rear Differential. Just to ensure you look good along the way, this Ford Explorer trim level has a set of shining 18-inch polished aluminum wheels.

Ford Explorer Limited

It may seem as though the Ford Explorer Limited is just another trim. At first glance, you may only notice the heated and ventilated front seats. However, the Ford Explorer Limited trim level is available with a 3.3L hybrid engine, offering efficiency and strength, with a 5,000-lb. towing capacity.

Ford Explorer ST

Style and performance take the wheel in the Ford Explorer ST. This option includes an upgraded interior with leather seats and City Silver accents. Under this configuration, the Ford Explorer is available with a 3.0L EcoBoost® engine, which churns out a whopping 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. As you trace your eyes across the Ford Explorer ST trim level, take notice of each of the ST badges, proudly scattered throughout the design.

Ford Explorer King Ranch®

Next to the highest trim level, the Ford Explorer King Ranch® shines in its own right. It is unique, yet luxurious, with a Mesa Del Rio interior featuring stylish leather seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel to match. If you plan to use the Ford Explorer King Ranch® for towing purposes, we recommend opting for the available 3.0L V6 engine and Class IV Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package. This combination can tow up to 5,600 lbs.!

Ford Explorer Platinum

Our shining star is the Ford Explorer Platinum. You can’t miss the Ford Explorer Platinum’s stunning Tri-Diamond leather interior, or the available twin-panel moonroof. This Ford Explorer trim level also features two extra B&O® speakers and comes standard with the aforementioned 3.0L V6.
