Finished in striking Carbonized Gray Metallic with a refined Onyx interior, this three-row SUV stands out with bold black exterior accents, deep tinted glass, and 20-inch aluminum wheels with painted accents. Designed to comfortably seat up to seven passengers, the interior features ActiveX cloth and leatherette front seat upholstery, heated driver and front passenger seats, and a heated leather steering wheel to keep everyone comfortable throughout every drive. Whether you are managing daily carpools or packing up for a weekend trip, this crossover combines generous interior space with sharp design. You can explore our new vehicle inventory to learn more about this versatile family SUV.

    Performance & Capability

    Under the hood, the 2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line is powered by an EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 gasoline direct injection intercooled turbo engine generating 300HP. Paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission and Intelligent 4WD, this powertrain offers dependable performance with an EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 27 MPG highway. The driver-selectable drivetrain mode and Selectable Terrain Modes allow you to adapt instantly to changing road conditions, while two underbody skid plates offer added protection under the vehicle. Standard Class III Towing Equipment with trailer sway control and a factory trailer wiring harness ensure you are ready to pull light trailers, campers, or recreational equipment. Gas-pressurized shock absorbers alongside independent front and rear suspension deliver a smooth, composed ride on city streets and highways alike.

    Technology & Connectivity

    Inside the cabin, advanced technology keeps driver and passengers connected and entertained. The focal point of the dashboard is a 13.2-inch primary display touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster display. Finding your destination is effortless with integrated navigation with voice activation, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device wireless mirroring lets you sync your phone without unnecessary cables. Premium audio quality is provided by a 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, filling all three rows with high-fidelity sound. Additional high-tech amenities include a 360 Degree Camera system, eight USB ports throughout the cabin, Ford Connect 5G mobile hotspot internet access, and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go.

      Explorer

      by Rudy on 5/28/2026 6:10:36 PM

      So far so good - smooth ride - plenty of power for a 2.3 liter 4 cyl which coming from someone who drove a 5.0 V8 for 20 yrs- much better on gas

      Served our family well!

      by Beth on 2/19/2026 11:46:55 PM

      Trading my car in next week, I am gonna miss my Explorer. It’s been a good family car. Draw backs: the screen is glitchy at times. Some electronics malfunctioned and I won’t lie, they can be costly to fix. Comfortable, spacious. I never had any mechanical problems with the car, but I did take very good care of it at well. I maintained all recommended services and any replacements were all genuine Ford parts. I hope whoever buys our car, loves it as much as we did.
