For 2025, the new Explorer boasts a bolder appearance and stance, with options that allow Explorer owners to further personalize their ride.
Uniquely styled front ends include a larger grille, sleeker all-LED headlamps, front skid plate, and lower, wider air curtains that help lower the vehicle’s visual center of gravity.
Further enhancing the look, there’s a new black-painted roof option for Platinum, ST, and ST-Line.
Explorer is the first Ford vehicle to include the new Ford Digital Experience, which allows customers to access their digital life inside the car. It is designed to allow greater connection and personalization for our customers through profiles, content, and apps, helping make time behind the wheel more enjoyable, even when parked.   
The displays on the 13.2-inch touchscreen allow for easy control, and integration with Google Maps allows navigation screens to be displayed on both the touchscreen and the 12.3-inch digital cluster.
The system includes features such as Lane Change Assist, allowing a driver to switch lanes hands-free with a tap of the turn signal when the path is clear. In-lane repositioning helps provide more space by subtly shifting away from vehicles in adjacent lanes.
With BlueCruise assisting with the braking, accelerating, and steering, it helps reduce some of the stress of driving, allowing you to arrive more energized and refreshed at your destination.
New Explorer customers with BlueCruise-equipped vehicles can choose to activate a Connected Services plan at the time of vehicle purchase for one year or experience hands-free highway driving with a complimentary 90-day trial. At the end of the trial, customers can activate annually or monthly, based on their needs.
