Explorer Limited
This trim level includes Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, which adds the following safety technology to the previous trim level to give you greater situational awareness while parking: Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers, Voice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation System, and Evasive Steering Assist.
ST
If you’re a true performance fanatic, the Ford Explorer ST trim is the way to go. This is because this trim adds a standard 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine to your car. This engine produces 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, allowing it to haul up to 5,600 pounds. That’s plenty of muscle.
Platinum
This trim comes standard with Tri-Diamond perforated leather seating surfaces with accent stitching.
