The Active trim of the 2025 Ford Explorer is equipped with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost I4 motor designed to offer eco-friendly performance. This powertrain has automatic start-stop technology to improve urban fuel economy by cutting power to the engine in idling traffic. The motor is matched with a standard rear-wheel drivetrain, a 10-speed automatic transmission, and six selectable drive modes to augment powertrain performance on different terrains. A Terrain Management System is also standard.
Exterior
The base 2025 Ford Explorer model has 18-inch aluminum wheels and all-season tires that provide a terrific foundation for stable handling across all terrains and weather conditions. The LED headlights have low and high-beam settings so you can optimize your view of the road in super-dark driving conditions. The headlights have a Courtesy Delay feature that keeps the bulbs on briefly after the engine is switched off so you can see the path to your door.
The side mirrors are power-adjustable, heated, and can even manually fold to make parking more comfortable in tight spaces. The side view mirrors also have security lamps that flash on when you approach the vehicle. This model has standard Silver skid plates to protect the undercarriage and a rear bumper step pad to make loading cargo easier. The cargo area has a power liftgate.
Interior
The Active trim of the 2025 Ford Explorer comes with a three-zone automatic temperature control system with auxiliary controls so rear seat passengers can independently change the back seat climate settings. The rearview mirror has manual day and night settings so you can choose when to dim the brightness of headlights from cars behind you.
Safety
The Active model comes with rear parking sensors and a Rear View Camera with built-in grid lines to assist with parking in tight spaces. Drivers can also benefit from the robust Lane Keeping System, which provides steering support, identifies distracted driving, and emits a warning if you drift into nearby traffic lanes.
