Explore the Trims of the Impressive Ford Explorer

If you are shopping for a three-row SUV, you have plenty of choices to sort through. This is a good thing, as no two buyers are the same. Some may be focused on maximizing passenger and cargo space, while others prioritize performance, modern technology, or the flexibility to handle everything from weekday commutes to weekend trips. At Greenword Ford, we think a Ford Explorer for sale checks the boxes for many drivers, offering five distinct trims for ultimate customization and a well-rounded experience. You can find our selection of 2027 Ford Explorer models online or stop by the dealership today for a closer look and a test drive. more Five Explorer Trims Give Buyers More Ways to Choose For the 2027 model year, Ford offers five Explorer trims—Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum, and ST—giving drivers several ways to tailor the SUV to their priorities. Depending on the configuration, buyers can choose seating for six or seven, rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, and two available EcoBoost engines. This range means that you don't have to settle for the same thing as the driver next to you. It also ensures that there is something for everyone, whether you're looking for everyday practicality, upscale comfort, sporty performance, or off-road adventures. Here is a quick look at what separates the five 2027 Explorer models: Explorer Active: The lineup's everyday-focused model combines a 300-hp 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine with practical features such as three-row seating, heated front seats, a power liftgate, and the Ford Digital Experience. Explorer ST-Line: Sport-inspired styling gives this model a more aggressive personality without requiring buyers to move up to the Explorer ST's high-output V6. It also adds features such as a standard 360-degree camera and a ten-speaker B&O sound system. Explorer Tremor: Drivers who spend time on the road less traveled will appreciate what the Tremor model has to offer, including standard Intelligent 4WD, all-terrain tires, increased ride height, an off-road-tuned suspension, steel underbody protection, and a Torsen limited-slip rear axle. Explorer Platinum: This trim caters to buyers who prefer a more premium take on the Explorer and is available with either the 2.3L EcoBoost engine or the more powerful 3.0L EcoBoost V6. Explorer ST: The performance-oriented Explorer is equipped with a 3.0L EcoBoost V6, producing up to 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a sport-tuned suspension for a more responsive driving experience. Because we have a range of model options in stock, you can compare them in one convenient location. Plus, our team is well-versed in all the details that make the 2027 Ford Explorer a top pick, which means we're able to answer any questions you might have along the way. Strong Performance Goes Beyond the Daily Commute The Explorer has long occupied the middle ground between a comfortable family crossover and a more traditionally capable SUV. The 2027 model continues that approach with a standard 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine producing up to 300 hp on several trims. For buyers looking for more considerable output, Ford's 3.0L EcoBoost V6 enters the picture. It comes standard on the ST and is available on the Tremor and Platinum models. In its highest-output applications, the V6 can produce up to 400 hp, providing the kind of acceleration that helps the Explorer stand apart in the family-SUV segment. A ten-speed automatic transmission is paired with the Explorer's engines, while available Intelligent 4WD adds confidence for drivers facing poor weather, loose surfaces, or changing terrain. Selectable drive modes further allow you to adjust the vehicle's behavior to suit your surroundings. The Explorer ST Takes Performance to Another Level Most buyers do not shop for a three-row SUV expecting it to feel like a performance vehicle. The Explorer ST gives them the option anyway. Beyond its available 400 hp, the ST features a sport-tuned suspension, paddle-shift capability, and distinctive performance-oriented details. That combination can appeal to drivers who need passenger and cargo room but do not want practicality to remove every bit of excitement from the driving experience. The Explorer Tremor Adds a Different Kind of Capability Performance is not limited to pavement, at least not when it comes to the 2027 Ford Explorer Tremor. This model is geared for the driver who spends their weekends camping, on the trails, or enjoying other outdoor adventures. Standard equipment includes Intelligent 4WD, all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, an off-road-tuned suspension, steel underbody deflector plates, Hill Descent Control, and a Torsen limited-slip rear axle designed to help improve traction. And, as mentioned, you can also opt for the 3.0L EcoBoost V6. Three Rows Make Room for Busy Schedules Performance may make an SUV interesting, but day-to-day usefulness often determines whether it's a fit for a buyer's lifestyle. The Explorer continues to address that side of the equation with three rows of seating and configurations for up to seven passengers. Second-row captain's chairs are available across the lineup and standard on several models, providing easier access to the third row and giving second-row passengers more individual space. Depending on the trim and configuration, you can choose a second-row bench seat instead, which brings the total seating capacity up to seven. Cargo versatility is another reason why the 2027 Ford Explorer stands out. The ST offers up to 85.3 cu.ft. of maximum cargo volume, while the ST-Line reaches up to 85.8 cu.ft. Both provide 16.3 cu.ft. of space when all three rows are upright. That flexibility makes the Explorer useful for school mornings, grocery trips, sports equipment, luggage, home projects, and the other jobs that tend to accumulate when an SUV becomes the household's primary vehicle. Towing Capability Expands Weekend Possibilities Drivers comparing SUVs may also want enough towing capacity for recreational equipment. Properly equipped 2027 Ford Explorer models can tow up to 5,000 lbs, which is more than enough for a wide range of campers, boats, or ATV trailers. Ford equips the Explorer Active with a standard Class III Trailer Tow Package that includes equipment such as trailer sway control and 4- and 7-pin connectors. The package is also standard on the ST-Line and Tremor models. Technology Designed Around Everyday Use Inside the 2027 Ford Explorer, technology plays a major role without overlooking usability. The Ford Digital Experience includes a 13.2-inch center touchscreen paired with a 12.3-inch digital instrument display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are also standard. Passengers will appreciate that technology extends beyond the front row. The Explorer Active, for example, provides eight USB ports distributed throughout all three rows, helping families keep multiple phones, tablets, and other devices powered during longer drives. Finally, depending on the trim, you can also find features such as a 360-degree camera, B&O premium audio, a panoramic Vista Roof, and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving technology.
