ST
Consider ST if driving performance is a priority. Take a test drive and compare its powertrain, seating and available equipment with your other choices.

- Try every row. Check access, passenger comfort and the seating arrangement your household needs.
- Bring your usual gear. Test how your stroller, sports bags or luggage fits with the seats you will keep in use.

A closer look at Explorer towing.
Ford lists a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds for the 2027 Explorer when properly equipped. Verify the exact vehicle and the equipment required for your trailer.

Choose the right configuration.
