Ford Explorer Base

While this may be the lowest trim, it still comes with more standard advanced features than most other SUVs in its class. Some of these features include a SYNC® center touchscreen with Apple CarPlay®, a 4G Wi-Fi hotspot, and Ford MyKey®. With MyKey®, parents can program their teen’s access to restrict the top speed, speaker volume, and more.

Ford Explorer XLT

This Ford Explorer trim level is very similar to the base model, but with a few added benefits. The Ford Explorer XLT offers a variety of drive modes that are available for both intelligent 4WD and 2WD configurations.

Ford Explorer ST-Line

The addition of even more standard interior features and packages, like the Trailer Tow Package, make the Ford Explorer ST-Line stand out from the previously mentioned Ford Explorer trim levels. Some of these features include ActiveX™ seating and a 12-speaker B&O® premium sound system.

Ford Explorer Timberline

As one of the only off-road specific Ford Explorer trim levels, a true adventurist can’t go wrong with the Ford Explorer Timberline. Even more impressive than the all-terrain capability, when included with the available Trailer Tow Package, this trim level can tow a whopping 5,300 lbs.

Ford Explorer Limited

Anyone that wants to help keep the planet green and still needs an impressive towing capacity of 5,000 lbs. is going to want this Ford Explorer trim level. The Ford Explorer Limited is the first trim level with an available 3.3L hybrid engine.

Ford Explorer ST

If you’re looking for a Ford Explorer trim level with an intense standard powertrain, the Ford Explorer ST is for you. It comes stocked with a 3.0L EcoBoost® engine, intelligent 4WD, and has seven available drive modes.

Ford Explorer King Ranch®

Who ever said off-roading can’t be luxurious? Certainly not Ford. The Ford Explorer King Ranch® is dominant on and off-road, but also features a trim-exclusive leather interior and comes standard with highly advanced tech.

Ford Explorer Platinum

It doesn’t get any better than this Ford Explorer trim level. The Ford Explorer Platinum features a Tri-Diamond leather interior and the powerful 3.0L EcoBoost® with 400 horsepower and the ability to tow up to 5,600 lbs. when properly equipped.
