New Ford Explorer Trim Levels and Starting MSRP

The Ford Explorer lineup gives shoppers several ways to compare price, seating, towing, off-road hardware, technology, comfort, and performance. Ford official starting MSRP should be confirmed through the current Ford Build & Price path for the exact model year, trim, drivetrain, and package because Ford’s public Explorer page may update as model-year ordering changes.

Which Ford Explorer Fits Your Drive?

The right Explorer depends on how much passenger space, cargo room, winter traction, towing equipment, performance, and comfort you need for life around Franklin County.

  • Family driving: Compare seating for six or seven, second-row captain’s chairs versus bench seating, third-row access, cargo room, and comfort features.
  • Daily commuting: Review driver-assist technology, seat comfort, available BlueCruise, fuel economy, and available Intelligent 4WD.
  • Winter driving: Compare Intelligent 4WD availability, tires, ground clearance, heated seating, heated steering wheel, and drive modes.
  • Towing: Confirm Class III Trailer Tow Package, trailer weight, passengers, cargo, and hitch equipment before planning trailer use.
  • Trail or camp-road use: Compare the Tremor model if all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, underbody protection, and the Torsen limited-slip rear axle matter.
  • Performance driving: Compare the ST if the 3.0L EcoBoost V6, sport-tuned suspension, and performance brakes are high priorities.

Ford Explorer Seating: Six vs. Seven Passengers

The Ford Explorer offers seating for six or seven people depending on model and seating configuration. Ford lists second-row captain’s chairs as standard on most models, while ST-Line uses a second-row bench seat and select models may offer a bench to add one more passenger seat.

A six-passenger Explorer can make third-row access easier and may feel more comfortable for older kids, adults, or long trips. A seven-passenger Explorer can be useful for larger families, carpooling, school events, and days when one more seat matters. Confirm the second-row setup on the exact Explorer before visiting because it changes how the SUV works day to day.

Ford Explorer Cargo, Size, and Everyday Use

The Explorer gives shoppers three-row flexibility without the larger footprint of a full-size SUV. Ford lists the Explorer at 198.7 inches long, with 16.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row and 46.0 cubic feet behind the second row.

Maximum cargo space is listed at up to 85.8 cubic feet on Active 100A, Active, and ST-Line models, and 85.3 cubic feet on Tremor, Platinum, and ST models. That gives families room for groceries, sports bags, pet gear, luggage, camping supplies, or winter equipment while still keeping the Explorer manageable for Kingman Street parking, BFA-area pickups, and daily runs across St. Albans City.

Explorer Size, Parking, and Garage Fit

The Explorer sits in the midsize three-row SUV category, which can make it easier to live with than a full-size SUV while still giving families third-row seating. Ford lists the Explorer at 198.7 inches long, 78.9 inches wide without mirrors, 89.3 inches wide with mirrors, and 82.7 inches wide with mirrors folded.

Those numbers are worth checking against your garage, driveway, school pickup routine, and regular parking spots. Drivers who need three rows but still spend time in tighter lots, downtown spaces, or winter driveways may find the Explorer easier to manage than a larger SUV.

Ford Explorer Towing and Trailering

The Ford Explorer is a strong midsize SUV choice for shoppers who want three-row seating and standard towing equipment. Ford lists every Explorer model with up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity thanks to the standard Class III Trailer Tow Package.

Trailer weight is only one part of the decision. Passengers, cargo, accessories, hitch equipment, trailer brakes, hills, and winter road conditions all matter. Before towing a small camper, utility trailer, boat, ATV trailer, or snowmobile trailer, confirm the exact vehicle’s equipment and the loaded trailer weight.

Explorer Towing Checklist

A towing rating works best when the vehicle, trailer, and load are planned together. Before choosing a new Ford Explorer for towing, confirm these details:

  • Trailer weight: Compare the fully loaded trailer weight, not just the empty trailer rating.
  • Passengers and cargo: Account for people, pets, luggage, tools, accessories, and gear inside the SUV.
  • Hitch equipment: Confirm the hitch setup, wiring, trailer connection, and any required towing accessories.
  • Trailer brakes: Review whether your trailer needs braking equipment and how it will be managed.
  • Route conditions: Plan extra margin for hills, winter roads, gravel lots, wet launches, and longer highway trips.
  • Exact vehicle equipment: Confirm the Class III Trailer Tow Package and listed towing details on the Explorer you are considering.

2026 ford explorer interiorFord Explorer Tremor vs. ST

The Explorer Tremor and Explorer ST serve different shoppers. Tremor is the Explorer to compare when you want more trail-ready hardware, including Intelligent 4WD, all-terrain tires, increased ride height, underbody protection, and the Torsen limited-slip rear axle.

The Explorer ST is the performance-focused model. It uses the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 as standard equipment and adds sport-tuned suspension, performance brakes with red-painted calipers, quad-tipped exhaust, and ST styling. Choose based on how you drive: Tremor for rougher roads and camp-road confidence, ST for stronger on-road performance.

Ford Explorer vs. Ford Expedition

The Explorer is the more manageable three-row Ford SUV for shoppers who want family space, available Intelligent 4WD, and useful towing without stepping up to a full-size SUV. It fits well for daily routines, school runs, commuting, and weekend drives where parking size and fuel use still matter.

The Expedition is Ford’s larger full-size three-row SUV. It is the better match for shoppers who need more maximum cargo space, stronger towing potential, and a larger overall cabin. Compare Explorer and Expedition based on seating, garage space, towing needs, cargo room, budget, and how often the third row stays in use.

Technology, Comfort, and Safety Highlights

The Ford Explorer brings modern technology into a three-row SUV cabin. Ford lists a 13.2-inch center display, Ford Digital Experience, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, available Ford Connectivity Package features, available Google Maps integration, and available Wi-Fi hotspot support for up to 10 devices.

Comfort features vary by trim and package, with available heated front-row seats, heated second-row seats, heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, multicontour massaging front seats, available leather-trimmed seating, PowerFold third-row seats, panoramic fixed-glass roof with power sunshade, and B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen.

Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist features are part of the Explorer feature story. Available features may include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering, Lane-Keeping System, BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, 360-Degree Camera, Trailer Coverage, and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving on equipped models.
