This Explorer combines practical design with modern comfort features. The 2.3L EcoBoost engine delivers power when you need it while achieving 20 city and 27 highway MPG, providing a balanced blend of performance and efficiency. Four-wheel drive ensures capability across varied road conditions, while the ten-speed automatic transmission responds smoothly to your driving demands.
Inside, the cabin reflects thoughtful engineering. Heated captain's chairs in the second row offer comfort and flexibility for passengers, while the third-row bench seat accommodates larger groups when needed. The B&O sound system transforms your drive with premium audio quality, and SiriusXM with 360L keeps you connected to entertainment and information. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto seamlessly integrate your smartphone, while the navigation system ensures you reach your destination confidently.
The ST-Line package elevates both aesthetics and functionality. Twenty-inch or twenty-one-inch aluminum wheels provide distinctive styling, and the panoramic roof bathes the cabin in natural light. Red painted performance brake calipers complement the exterior, while the spoiler enhances the athletic appearance. Power door mirrors, automatic headlights with delay-off feature, and rain-sensing wipers add convenience to every drive.
Safety features are comprehensive. Dual front and side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags work together with electronic stability control and traction control to help protect occupants. The rear parking camera provides visibility when maneuvering, and 911 Assist offers emergency communication. Performance brakes with four-wheel discs deliver reliable stopping power.
Modern conveniences make daily driving easier. The heated steering wheel and memory driver's seat personalize your experience, while the power liftgate simplifies cargo loading.

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 - 4.0
Served our family well!

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.
