A lot has changed since Ford introduced its current Explorer chassis in 2019. Screens and technology have grown commonplace inside family vehicles, and consumer-facing tech is more crucial than ever. Ford updated the Explorer for 2025 with that in mind, adding a huge touchscreen Sync media system to the dash as standard equipment on the inside and refreshing the exterior style. The Explorer is still powered by the 2.3-liter and 3.0-liter EcoBoost engines. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost I4 produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque with a 10-speed automated gearbox. The 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 produces 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque with the 10-speed transmission. From there, power is sent to the rear or all-wheel drive system. Most '25 Explorers will have the 2.3-liter engine, with the exception of Platinum versions, which have the choice of the 3.0-liter and ST variants, which come standard with the more powerful mill. That's not always a terrible thing. The 2.3-liter engine has enough of oomph and bustle for city driving, and it doesn't blink an eye when you hit the highway. The 3.0-liter produces more tire noise and has more power, which is undoubtedly enjoyable, but the 5000-pound towing capacity are comparable. If fuel consumption is an issue for you, the 3.0-liter V6 consumes more. According to Ford, the 3.0-liter EcoBoost achieves 18 mpg in the city, 25 mpg on the interstate, and 21 mpg combined. This is down across the board from the smaller 2.3-liter I4, which gets 20/29/24 mpg in rear-drive mode. Opting for the AWD system reduces your city mpg by two and your combined mpg by one. Given that most Explorers will have a 2.3-liter engine under the hood, it's logical to assume that shoppers will be more concerned with what's inside their new family vehicle. The inside is a significant advance over the '24 versions. The new standard infotainment screen takes center stage, while the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster handles your driving information.
