The 2025 Ford Explorer SUV is a powerful workhouse and family vehicle. While that sounds (and is) practical, did you know that the Explorer can be equally luxurious in higher trims? Let’s take a look at the top model in the lineup, the Platinum.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum starts at about $51,655 and is available now!
- The lineup has only four trims for 2025—the Active (Base), ST-Line, ST, and Platinum.
- The Ford Digital Experience is new to Ford models and allows you to play games and surf the web while parked.
What’s new with the Design and Advanced Features of the 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum
In a broader sense, the Explorer’s lineup has seen some pretty significant changes for the new model year. There’s now only four trims—the Active (Base), ST-Line, ST, and Platinum— and exterior elements, like the SUV’s front fascia, headlights, and lower air inlets have been tweaked. Newly designed tail lights and an optional black-painted roof for the Platinum trim are part of those changes, as is a BlueCruise hands-free driving system.
Inside, the focus is more on comfort than ever before, thanks to newly added soft-touch surfaces on the center console and door panels. The 2025 Explorer is also the first model in Ford’s arsenal to feature its Digital Experience, which makes communication and entertainment a breeze for every member of the family.
Experience the Powerful Engine Performance of the 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum
The Platinum features a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, generating 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. There’s also the option of a 3.0-liter V-6 that cranks out 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Ten-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive come standard in all trims, including the Platinum, but buyers also have the option of all-wheel drive.
The Explorer Platinum has a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. All trims feature the Class III Towing package—it includes a trailer hitch, wiring harness, and a sway control system, allowing for greater safety when towing large items.
2025 Ford Explorer Platinum Interior Features Designed for Ultimate Comfort
Comfort and style are now front and center for the Explorer, particularly in the Platinum trim! Vibrant colors and soft-touch materials throughout make the journey that much more relaxing and enjoyable. The dashboard has been redesigned to give front passengers more space. Even the back rows are spacious, and getting in and out of the third row is easier than ever before thanks to a mechanism that moves the second-row out of the way.
The Explorer’s entertainment and tech features are top tier and include:
- 3 12-volt power sockets
- 8 USB ports
- A 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Ford Digital Experience with Google and Amazon that allows you to shop, play games and surf the web while you’re parked!
- 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system.
