Imagine pulling out of your driveway in the surrounding area, the sun catching the deep, multi-layered finish of the RAPID RED MET TINTED CC exterior. Whether you are heading out for a weekend adventure or navigating the daily routine, the 2025 Ford Explorer ST is designed to transform every drive into an event. This is a vehicle built for the driver who refuses to sacrifice excitement for utility, offering a sophisticated presence that feels right at home in any local setting. From the moment you grip the Leather steering wheel, you realize this isn't just another SUV; it is a precision-engineered machine tailored for those who demand more from their time behind the wheel.

High-Performance Capability and Precision Engineering

The heart of this 2025 Ford Explorer ST is the formidable EcoBoost 3L V-6 gasoline direct injection engine. Featuring twin turbo technology and DOHC variable valve control, this powerplant delivers a commanding 400HP. This output is managed by a sophisticated 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift Sequential shift with steering wheel controls, allowing you to take manual command of the gears whenever the mood strikes.

Navigating the changing seasons in the surrounding area is made effortless by the Intelligent 4WD system. This automatic full-time Four Wheel Drive setup works in harmony with the Terrain Management System, offering selectable modes to optimize traction based on the specific surface beneath your wheels. The Sport ride suspension, featuring an Independent front suspension and Multi-link rear suspension, ensures that the Explorer ST remains composed and agile through every corner. To help maintain efficiency during stop-and-go traffic, the Auto stop-start engine feature reduces fuel consumption, contributing to an EPA-estimated 24 hwy mpg.

Advanced Connectivity and Digital Integration

Inside the cabin, the 2025 Ford Explorer ST serves as a high-tech command center. The driver is greeted by a massive 12.30 inch gauge cluster display, providing a fully digital and customizable view of vital vehicle information. Centered in the dashboard is the 13.2 inch primary display, a responsive touchscreen that serves as the hub for the Integrated navigation system with voice activation.

Staying connected is seamless thanks to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless mirroring, allowing you to access your favorite apps without cluttering the console with cables. For those who prefer a corded connection, there are 8 USB ports distributed throughout the cabin. Passengers will appreciate the Bluetooth wireless audio streaming and the crystal-clear output of the Voice activated audio controls. To ensure your devices stay powered up for the long haul, a Front wireless smart device charging pad is conveniently located in the center console, while the FordPass Connect 5G mobile hotspot capability keeps everyone online while on the move.

Premium Comfort and Versatile Interior Space

The interior of the Explorer ST is a masterclass in sport-luxury, featuring ONYX MIKO SEATS upholstered in Miko simulated suede and leatherette. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy Massaging front seats that are also Heated and Ventilated, ensuring comfort regardless of the temperature outside. The Power driver seat and Power passenger seat include 4-way power lumbar support, while 3 memory settings allow multiple drivers to save their perfect seating and mirror positions.

This SUV is designed to accommodate up to six passengers with ease. The second row features Heated Miko Sport Captain's Chairs with manual reclining and fore/aft adjustments, while the third row consists of a PowerFold power fold into floor 50-50 folding bench seat. Triple-zone Automatic climate control with Rear climate control system with separate controls ensures that everyone stays comfortable, aided by Rear headliner/pillar climate control ducts. Additional premium touches include a Heated steering wheel, Ambient lighting, and a 1 interior 120V AC power outlet for charging larger electronics.

Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in the 2025 Ford Explorer ST, which comes equipped with a suite of advanced driver-assist technologies. The 360 Degree Camera provides an aerial view of the vehicle, making parking in tight spots around the surrounding area much simpler. This is complemented by the Forward and Reverse Sensing System and Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, which alert you to obstacles you might otherwise miss.

On the open road, the Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane-Keeping System work together to reduce driver fatigue. The Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Forward collision warning provide an extra layer of protection, while Evasive Steering Assist can help you navigate around sudden obstacles. The vehicle is also equipped with a comprehensive Safety Canopy System of seven airbags, including a Driver side knee airbag, and Red painted front and rear brake calipers that signify the upgraded stopping power of the 4-wheel ventilated disk brakes.

Athletic Exterior and Bold Design Elements

The exterior of the Explorer ST is defined by its aggressive and athletic stance. The RAPID RED MET TINTED CC paint is accented by a Black grille, Black front bumper insert, and Black bodyside cladding, creating a high-contrast, performance-oriented look. It rides on massive 21-inch Magnetite-Painted Aluminum wheels wrapped in P275/45WR21 AS BSW tires, filling the wheel wells perfectly.

Functional design elements abound, including Roof rails for extra gear and a Power liftgate for easy access to the cargo area. The First and second-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof floods the cabin with natural light, while the LED low and high beam headlights, LED front fog lights, and LED daytime running lights ensure maximum visibility. For those with weekend toys, the Class III tow rating and factory-installed Trailer hitch with Trailer sway control mean this SUV is ready to work as hard as it plays.
