      This Explorer ST-Line is built on a responsive platform designed for both highway driving and daily navigation. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and 4WD delivers an efficient 20 city and 27 highway mpg, balancing performance with fuel economy. You'll appreciate the thoughtful engineering that goes into every aspect of this vehicle.

      The cabin welcomes you with multiple comfort features that make every journey more enjoyable. Heated captain's chairs in the second row offer premium seating for your passengers, while the heated steering wheel keeps your hands warm during colder months. The panoramic fixed glass roof with power shade floods the interior with natural light while giving you control over sun exposure. Front dual zone air conditioning ensures both driver and passenger can set their preferred temperature independently.

      Technology integrates seamlessly into your daily drive. BlueCruise with a one-year plan and 90-day trial gives you access to advanced driving assistance on compatible roads. The B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen delivers premium audio quality, whether you're enjoying SiriusXM with 360L or connecting via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A built-in navigation system keeps you on course, and the SecuriCode keyless entry keypad adds convenience and security.

      Safety remains paramount in this Explorer's design. A comprehensive airbag system, electronic stability control, traction control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and an emergency communication system provide multiple layers of protection. The rear parking camera helps you maneuver with confidence, while speed-sensing steering and suspension refinements contribute to controlled handling in various conditions.

      Practicality extends throughout the vehicle's design. The power liftgate simplifies loading, and the split-folding rear seat adapts to your cargo needs. Front and second row all-weather floor liners protect your investment, while 20" aluminum wheels combine style with function. Remote control front windows via key fob add a touch of convenience you'll use regularly.

        Love it.

        by Alex on 8/9/2026 11:55:02 PM

        Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise.

        by Chan78 on 6/30/2026 6:16:53 PM

        I love the suv its fantastic to drive only issue I have is the wind noise in the driver seat but I'd sleep in it every night the seats are comfortable.
