2027 Ford Explorer ST: Athletic Performance Meets Three-Row Utility

The 2027 Ford Explorer ST brings serious performance and everyday practical usability together in one commanding three-row SUV. Dressed in striking Avalanche Gray with an Onyx interior featuring bold red stitching, this vehicle turns heads whether you are commuting through Champaign or taking a long weekend road trip with the family. Designed for drivers who refuse to compromise on power or versatility, this SUV comfortably seats six passengers while offering intelligent utility, advanced safety technology, and refined cabin comfort. With its athletic stance and dynamic capability, the Explorer ST delivers an engaging driving experience every time you get behind the wheel. Feel free to browse our new Explorer inventory to see everything this trim offers.

Performance & Capability

Under the hood, the 2027 Ford Explorer ST is powered by an EcoBoost 3L V-6 direct injection twin-turbo engine generating 385HP. Paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission and Intelligent 4WD, this powertrain provides eager acceleration and surefooted traction across changing road conditions. A sport-tuned suspension, strut front suspension, and multi-link rear suspension deliver precise handling without sacrificing overall ride quality. Equipped with Class III towing equipment, including a factory receiver hitch and trailer sway control, this SUV is fully prepared to haul recreational trailers, boats, or campers for weekend getaways. Driver-selectable drivetrain modes allow you to adapt performance settings to match rain, snow, or clear pavement, while underbody skid plates provide extra protection beneath the chassis.

Technology & Connectivity

Inside the cabin, advanced infotainment technology keeps you connected, entertained, and informed on every journey. The center console features an impressive 13.2-inch primary touchscreen display alongside a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster that displays vital driver information clearly. The included Sun and Sound Package enhances every ride with a premium 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, delivering crisp, immersive audio quality throughout all three rows. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smart device integration offer effortless wireless access to your favorite navigation, messaging, and audio streaming applications. With eight built-in USB ports distributed across the seating rows, every passenger can keep their personal devices charged. Furthermore, integrated navigation with voice activation ensures you reach your destination efficiently without taking your eyes off the road.
