This spacious, three-row SUV delivers the kind of flexibility, comfort, and capability families need—without ever compromising on style or tech. Wherever you’re headed, the Explorer helps you take it all in stride. Come by our dealership in Richmond, CA today to see it firsthand.

Bold Styling, Everyday Comfort

With its refreshed exterior, the 2025 Explorer feels both sophisticated and strong. The sculpted body lines, striking new grille design, and available LED lighting package make a lasting impression, whether parked in the driveway or gliding through downtown Richmond. Thoughtful details like aerodynamic accents and bold wheel designs give it a confident look that’s equally at home in city traffic or parked at a scenic overlook.

Inside, the Explorer offers room for up to seven passengers and versatile cargo configurations that make it easy to bring along everything—and everyone—you need. A flat load floor and easy-folding second- and third-row seats add convenience when you’re loading up for a soccer tournament or gearing up for a beach day along the coast.

New materials and updated trim options enhance the cabin’s premium feel, while available features like a panoramic Vista Roof^® and multi-color ambient lighting give the Explorer a more upscale vibe. You’ll also find smart storage touches throughout, like under-floor compartments and large door bins—perfect for families always on the go. Need space for gear? Fold down the second and third rows and you'll unlock over 85 cubic feet of cargo volume, leaving plenty of room for road trip supplies, sports equipment, or a full load from the farmer’s market.

Adaptable Performance

The 2025 Explorer offers a powertrain lineup built to match your lifestyle. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost^® engine delivers 300 horsepower and confident acceleration for daily drives and highway merging. For more muscle, the available 3.0L EcoBoost^® V6 offers up to 400 horsepower—ideal for towing, long-distance cruising, or simply enjoying a spirited ride through California’s backroads.

Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System^™ gives you added control on slippery roads or gravel trails, while the smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission ensures a composed, capable drive no matter the terrain. Whether you’re navigating wet roads during a Pacific storm or heading off-pavement to your favorite hidden trailhead, Explorer is built for adaptability. And with up to 5,600 pounds of towing capacity when properly equipped, Explorer is ready for boats, trailers, and everything in between. So you’ll have the muscle to bring your toys along for the ride.

Safety That Supports Every Drive

The 2025 Explorer offers more than just confidence—it delivers peace of mind. Ford Co-Pilot360^® is standard across the lineup and includes helpful features like Blind Spot Information System (BLIS^®) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. These tools quietly support your awareness when you need it most, like when changing lanes on the freeway or navigating a crowded parking lot.

Available adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability helps take the edge off long Bay Area commutes, while features like Evasive Steering Assist and rear parking sensors add extra reassurance in tighter situations. And because keeping your family safe is always a top priority, Explorer also includes features like a Lane-Keeping System and Post-Collision Braking to add another layer of protection.

Connected Tech That Moves with You

From the moment you start the engine, the 2025 Explorer brings smart technology to the forefront. The all-new 13.2-inch touchscreen display anchors the SYNC^® 4 infotainment system, offering wireless Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ integration, voice-activated navigation, and cloud-connected updates that keep everything running smoothly.

But it’s not just about staying connected—it’s about making your drive more convenient and enjoyable. You’ll find thoughtful conveniences like available wireless charging, FordPass^® Connect with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and a customizable digital instrument cluster that keeps key info right where you want it.

Music lovers can upgrade to the optional 12-speaker B&O^® Sound System by Bang & Olufsen^®, which delivers crisp, immersive audio whether you’re listening to podcasts or your favorite playlists. And with multiple USB ports and available second-row climate controls, everyone stays comfortable and connected no matter where they’re sitting.
