The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine provides 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, offering plenty of strength for merging, towing, and highway cruising. Drivers who crave more muscle can upgrade to the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6, producing 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque in the ST model for a thrilling, performance-focused experience.

Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth shifts and excellent fuel economy. When properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds, making it ideal for boats, trailers, or campers. Available Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System™ provides selectable drive modes to handle snow, sand, mud, and more—so you’re always in control, no matter where you’re headed.

While the 2025 Explorer is known for comfort and style, it’s no stranger to adventure.
