2025 Ford Explorer - Great Thrilling Family SUV!

Thanks: Pines Ford Location: 2025 Ford Explorer Starting at $ Highs: Brawny broad-shouldered styling, available hearty V-6, new infotainment touchscreen and software. Lows: Base engine drones, tight third-row seat, interior quality still trails competitors. Verdict: Long a segment mainstay, the Explorer delivers the basics but lacks the upscale touches and refined execution of the best three-row SUVs. Overview 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 competition in the mid-size SUV space is intense, though, and the Explorer is now facing off against a legion of highly talented rivals, including the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, and Toyota Grand Highlander—many of which offer more contemporary styling and overall refinement. What’s New for 2025? 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. Pricing and Which One to Buy The price of the 2025 Ford Explorer starts at $ and goes up to $ depending on the trim and options. Active: $41,350 ST-Line: $46,110 Platinum: $53,250 ST: $57,100 Read More #pinesford #fordusa 📌 Instagram ▶ 📌 Tiktok ▶ @cartvpress
