Advanced technology, a versatile cabin, and strong performance capabilities are a few highlights that distinguish the 2025 Ford Explorer as a top choice for families. Check out our spotlight below to learn more about this roomy SUV.

1. The Advanced Driver Assistance Technology

Premium driver assistance technology features give families peace of mind on the road. The 2025 Explorer comes with exciting technology like adaptive cruise control with lane-centering. There’s also a well-rounded lane-keeping system with lane-keeping assist, lane-keeping alert, and driver alert.

2. The Versatile Space

The Explorer’s convenient design allows you to use all three rows of seating for seven passengers or tuck the seats away to turn the SUV into a cargo hauler. You’ll have 16.3 cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats for a standard grocery run. When you need to really stock up, you can fold down the 50/50 split-fold bench seat in the third row to create a cargo volume of 46.0 cubic feet. Fortunately, you’ll also have the space to haul some small furniture by folding down the second-row captain’s seats as well. This creates a total maximum cargo volume of 85.3 cubic feet behind the heated first-row seats.

3. The Customizable Cabin

Available add-ons allow families to choose the features that give them the best cabin for their needs. Some highlights you can choose include available ambient lighting, remote start, a universal garage door opener, and a heated steering wheel. Standard rear parking sensors can be paired with available front parking sensors for additional help while parallel parking. You can also add a 360-degree camera with split-view for enhanced visibility. An available wireless charging pad means you won’t need to remember to bring your phone chord with you.

4. The Impressive New Infotainment System

Technophiles love the new 13.2-inch touchscreen that comes standard in every 2025 Explorer. This beautiful display comes equipped with the new Ford Digital Experience software. The user-friendly setup makes it easy to connect your smartphone using wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integrations. You’ll have a rich six-speaker sound system for sharing road trip tunes with the whole family. You can find new music using SiriusXM with 360L or by streaming over your smartphone using Bluetooth.

5. The Reliable Performance

The Explorer can be equipped with a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine or a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. Both options are paired with a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission. They each have an impressive maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds and advanced technology like trailer sway control for a smooth ride every time. The Explorer’s spacious cabin and versatile design make it a must-see for families in need of a reliable SUV with the latest tech.
