Dynamic Performance & Capability
Under the hood, the 2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line features an EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine equipped with intercooled turbocharging and variable valve control, producing 300HP. This powerplant is paired with a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission that balances smooth power delivery with efficient cruising, returning an EPA-estimated 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Power is delivered to all four wheels through an Intelligent 4WD system featuring Selectable Terrain Modes and Hill Descent Control, giving you complete confidence over challenging road conditions or unpaved paths. Enhanced by the ST-Line Street Pack, this model showcases red painted performance front and rear brake calipers alongside independent front and rear suspension tuning for a firmly planted, athletic drive. Utility is built right in thanks to a factory Class III tow rating with an integrated trailer hitch and trailer sway control.
Advanced Technology & Interior Comfort
Inside the cabin, the Explorer ST-Line provides a high-tech control center centered around a 13.2-inch primary display touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Seamless smartphone integration comes standard via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside an integrated navigation system with voice activation. Passengers will enjoy high-end sound courtesy of the 10-speaker B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen, complete with a digital signal processor. Seating for six is arranged with comfortable 2nd row captain's chairs featuring E-Z Entry access, heated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a heated steering wheel.
