Performance
The 2025 Ford Explorer has one of the most powerful engine options in its class. A standard 2.3-liter four-cylinder makes 300 horsepower, while the ST and Platinum get a turbocharged V6 that makes 400 horsepower. The max towing capacity is 5,000 pounds. Competitors like the Kia Sorento (281 horsepower), Nissan Pathfinder (295 horsepower), or GMC Acadia (328 horsepower) trail behind in performance and capabilities.
Interior & Exterior
The Ford Explorer gets a style upgrade this year with new interior color options. The upscale look complements the rugged exterior, and the more comfortable materials elevate passenger comfort in all three rows. Like most competitors, the second-row bench can get swapped out for fancier captain's chairs.
Technology
Choosing the Ford Explorer means indulging in the most modern features available. Updated technology this year includes a large 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with the new Ford Digital Experience. It's one of the largest screen options among top competitors and allows easy access to Google and Amazon services with Apple CarPlay© and Android Auto™. Popular SUVs like the Chevy Traverse no longer support these smartphone integration features. Additionally, the Ford Explorer allows internet streaming, including YouTube videos and live games, through Google Play while the vehicle is in park.
