    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.

      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.
