The new Ford Explorer continues to be a top choice for families seeking a capable, spacious and well-equipped SUV. For the 2025 model year, the Ford Explorer has earned recognition as one of the best 3rd row SUVs on the market, thanks to its comfortable accommodations, advanced technologies and strong performance.
Inside the Ford Explorer's cabin, you'll find three rows of seating with space for up to 7 passengers. The available second-row captain's chairs slide and recline for maximum comfort. When you need to prioritize cargo, the third row conveniently folds to expand the rear storage area to 87.8 cubic feet. Throughout the interior, high-quality materials like available perforated leather-trimmed seating add a touch of luxury.
Under the hood, the Explorer offers a choice of two impressive EcoBoost engines. The standard 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder produces a robust 300 horsepower, while an available 3.0L twin-turbo V6 ups the output to 400 horsepower for even more authoritative acceleration. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, and all-wheel drive is optional for enhanced traction.
