Why Go Electric With the New Ford Mustang Mach-E
Pop quiz: What is America’s bestselling SUV of all time? It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the answer is none other than the Ford Explorer. For generations, the Explorer has been the go-to choice for drivers who need three-row versatility, off-road capability, and easy-on-the-eyes curb appeal. And now in its latest generation, the new 2025 Ford Explorer is building an even better SUV on the strengths that have satisfied drivers for decades.
Go boldly with the new-look Explorer
For 2025, Ford is revamping the Explorer lineup from top to bottom. The new Active model stands in as the base option, and it brings a lot of excellent features to the table right out of the gate. Among the many new standard features for the Explorer are wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, a 10-way heated power driver’s seat, the Class III Trailer Tow Package, and FordPass® Connect with 5G LTE Wi-Fi capabilities. Upgrading to the ST-Line, ST, or Platinum only nets you even more awesome perks on top of that very strong foundation.
The new 2025 Explorer gets bolder styling and greater differentiation thanks to fresh faces for each model. The Platinum, for example, leans into luxury with a Satin Chrome and Ebony grille with a unique wing design to anchor it. Not only that, but the Explorer offers seven new wheel options, including 21-inch dark alloy polished aluminum rims available for the Platinum, and a new Vapor Blue Metallic exterior color.
A revamped interior and a greater focus on luxury
The 2025 Ford Explorer boasts a totally revamped interior, and like the outside, it makes it a point to create uniqueness between each model. The base-level Active feels plenty elevated with its available Ultra Dark Space Gray interior with Harvest Bronze stitching, and the Platinum kicks things up to 11 with Mojave Dusk leather that extends to the instrument panel and console. Available ambient lighting helps you set the mood with seven selectable colors ranging from cool Ice Blue to passionate Purple.
Ford gives you plenty of options to upgrade your Explorer with unique packages for every model. The ST-Line Premium Package adds essentials like heated second-row seats and PowerFold® third-row seats, and the Platinum Lux Leather Package delivers out-of-this-world opulence with Premium Sanctuary Leather seats featuring Tri-Diamond Micro-Perforated inserts.
But for all the upgrades to the new Explorer, the core of what’s made it so beloved remains very much intact. With three rows, the 2025 Ford Explorer offers space for up to seven people, and that means plenty of room for growing families with lots of plans. When you add in 16.3 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats and up to 85.3 cubic feet with the second and third rows folded flat, the Explorer is exactly the kind of SUV that’s up for just about whatever you can throw at it.
More advanced technology than ever
The new 2025 Explorer is the most tech-savvy that Ford has ever offered, and it’s a fitting choice for the driver who wants to feel confident and connected wherever life’s journeys take them. One of the most impressive additions for 2025 is the new Ford Digital Experience, the most innovative connectivity platform offered in any Ford vehicle yet. The Ford Digital Experience leverages a standard 13.2-inch touchscreen and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to put your favorite apps and features at your fingertips. And because Google Play is built into the Ford Digital Experience, you can even download games to play in your Explorer while you wait for the kids to let out of school.
Another recent innovation that makes its way to the new Ford Explorer is Ford BlueCruise. This hands-free driving assistant works on 97% of controlled access highways across the United States and Canada — simply enter a Hands-Free Blue Zone, engage BlueCruise, and enjoy the ride. Every Explorer also comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360® technology, including essentials like Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert and Pre-Collision Assist® with Automatic Emergency Braking.
The new 2025 Ford Explorer simply takes the most popular SUV in American history and makes it better. That’s just what Ford does over and over again. And if you’re looking to enjoy your daily drive again and again, there aren’t many better choices for the job than the new Ford Explorer. You can find the Explorer right here at Shults Ford South in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
