Everyday Comfort Trims
If your focus is practicality and everyday comfort, the Explorer Active and Explorer ST-Line trims are excellent places to start. The Active delivers the essential Explorer experience: a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine with 300 horsepower, a spacious interior for seven, and smart tech like SYNC® 4 infotainment with a 13.2-inch touchscreen.
Move up to the ST-Line, and you’ll enjoy a sportier design with black exterior accents, red interior stitching, and upgraded driver-assist features through Ford Co-Pilot360™. Both trims strike a balance between capability and comfort for daily commutes along I-80 or scenic routes through Monroe County.
Performance & Capability Trims
Drivers who enjoy a more dynamic experience can explore the Explorer ST and Explorer Tremor. The ST trim is powered by a 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 producing 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. With sport suspension, paddle shifters, and available Intelligent 4WD, it offers the responsiveness of a performance SUV while still handling family duties.
The Tremor caters to adventure seekers. It’s built with off-road suspension tuning, steel skid plates, and unique all-terrain tires. If your weekends take you toward the Delaware Water Gap or the trails near Lake Wallenpaupack, this trim delivers sure-footed confidence.
Premium & Tech-Rich Trims
For those seeking comfort and refinement, the Explorer Platinum sets the standard. Its cabin features premium leather-trimmed seats, multi-color ambient lighting, and advanced driver aids, including adaptive cruise control with lane centering. The Platinum trim also features distinctive exterior finishes and upgraded sound systems that make every drive through the Poconos feel first-class.
Every trim now includes standard FordPass® Connect with Wi-Fi hotspot capability, digital instrumentation, and a large central display, allowing you to stay informed and connected wherever you travel. According to J.D. Power, the Ford Explorer ranks among the top midsize SUVs for overall quality and driving experience, highlighting its strong performance and technology.*
