The 2027 Ford Explorer continues to stand out in the midsize three-row SUV segment with robust engine performance, a max towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, and standard high-tech cabin features. Families and daily commuters can inspect the latest new Ford Explorer inventory at Chris Auffenberg Ford. The model combines advanced driver-assist systems, expansive seating, and versatile cargo room for drivers commuting across the St. Louis metropolitan area and nearby communities.
The SUV offers a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine with an EPA-estimated 24 MPG combined rating, alongside an available 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 delivering 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Standard rear-wheel drive and available Intelligent 4WD pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission to handle daily commutes and tow up to 5,000 pounds efficiently.
Inside the cabin, three rows of seating accommodate up to seven passengers, with Tremor models configured for six. Interior accommodations include available multicontour seats with Active Motion massage, premium ActiveX seating material, and tri-zone automatic climate control. Folding down rear seats expands the rear storage area to a maximum cargo capacity of 85.8 cubic feet for gear and luggage.
Technology centerpieces include a standard 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch center display running the Ford Digital Experience with native Google Maps and Google Assistant.

Available BlueCruise technology enables hands-free highway driving assist on compatible roads, while standard Ford Co-Pilot360 delivers essential safety monitoring.
Key updates for the 2027 model year refine trim configurations and standard equipment across the lineup. The Platinum trim reintroduces an available 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine option alongside its standard 2.3-liter four-cylinder powertrain. Meanwhile, the off-road Tremor model makes third-row seating standard rather than optional equipment. Additional cabin updates across all models include the standard integration of native Google software alongside new satellite radio availability options on entry Active trim levels.
