Three hundred horsepower from a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder is the kind of number that makes you read the window sticker twice. This 2027 Ford Explorer ST-Line in Carbonized Gray Metallic pairs that output with a 10-speed automatic and full 4WD, and the result is an SUV that pulls hard off the line and keeps pulling well into highway speeds. Fuel economy holds at 20 city and 27 highway, so you are not paying for the performance at every gas station.
The ST-Line trim gives the Explorer a sharper personality inside and out. Heated unique cloth captain's chairs wrap the front row, and the steering wheel is heated too, leather-wrapped, and mounted with audio controls so your hands stay where they belong. Four-wheel independent suspension and front and rear anti-roll bars keep body roll honest through corners, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and brake assist give you serious stopping confidence when you need it. Those 20-inch Ebony-Painted Machined Aluminum wheels fill the arches the way they should on a performance-oriented trim.
Inside, a Bang and Olufsen sound system with 10 speakers takes care of your ears on long drives. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, the navigation system is built in, and SiriusXM with 360L means you are never hunting for a signal. Third-row bench seating makes this a genuine seven-passenger hauler, the power liftgate keeps loading easy, and rear air conditioning means passengers in the back are as comfortable as the driver up front. Dual-zone automatic climate control, front heated seats, heated mirrors, fog lamps, and a power liftgate round out a feature list that earns the $53,439 price without much debate.
