Families love the three rows of seating, trailblazing technology, and versatile layout of the 2025 Ford Explorer. Read our guide below to discover a few of the family-friendly highlights.
The Family-Friendly Seating
The Explorer is perfectly designed to adapt to the changing needs of families. On days when you need room for up to seven passengers, you’ll have three rows of comfortable seating. The driver will enjoy a 10-way power-adjustable seat, while the front passenger has a four-way power-adjustable seat. The second-row seats’ EZ-Entry feature allows passengers to press a button and clear a path to the third-row split-fold bench seat.
When you need space for your belongings, you can fold down the third-row bench seat to expand the cargo area from 16.3 cubic feet to 46.0 cubic feet. To turn the SUV into a cargo hauler, you can fold down the second-row chairs for a total maximum cargo capacity of 85.3 cubic feet.
The Cabin’s Modern Conveniences
Tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control keeps the entire family happy. Drivers will love the four-door intelligent access with push button start, a 12.3-inch productivity screen, and available front parking sensors. Additional available features include ambient lighting, remote start, and a universal garage door opener.
Families can keep their devices charged using the two USB ports in the first-row media hub and two in the center console. An available wireless charging pad allows drivers to ditch the chord and keep their phone fully charged.
The Cutting-Edge Hands-Free Driving Technology
Ford’s top-rated active driving assistance system is now available for the Explorer. Ford BlueCruise allows you to enjoy scenic views on 97% of the highways within the United States and Canada with hands-free driving. Once you’re in a designated Blue Zone, an alert will appear, and you’ll be able to activate the technology. BlueCruise will then accelerate, brake, and steer the vehicle for you.
Safety measures like a driver-facing camera ensure you’ll be ready to take control of the wheel at any time. The camera monitors your gaze to see that your attention is still on the road. The feature sends you an alert if your gaze wanders and it decides you are too distracted.
The Impressive Infotainment System
The high-resolution touchscreen is one of the most notable upgrades for the 2025 edition of the Explorer. This 13.2-inch touchscreen offers stunning clarity and premium features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, FordPass Connect with 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and SiriusXM with 360L.
