Dealer Comments

The 2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line is a three-row SUV designed to blend performance, comfort, and technology in a striking Agate Black Metallic exterior with an Onyx interior.

This SUV is well-suited for buyers researching options that offer roominess, advanced connectivity, and daily versatility. Those managing family schedules, group outings, or active lifestyles will appreciate the Explorer's bench-style third row and split folding rear seat, allowing for flexible cargo and passenger configurations. In climates like Lakeland, FL, features such as heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control provide comfort year-round, while the power liftgate eases loading for shopping trips or travel.

Driving the Explorer ST-Line delivers a balance of responsive performance and smooth ride quality. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 supplies ample power for merging onto highways or handling urban stop-and-go traffic, while the 10-speed automatic transmission shifts efficiently to maximize both acceleration and fuel economy. Rear-wheel drive contributes to a composed, stable feel, especially when the SUV is fully loaded. Speed-sensing steering and four-wheel independent suspension further support confident handling, whether navigating city streets or setting out on longer journeys.

Safety is a priority in this model, with a comprehensive suite of active and passive features. Anti-lock disc brakes and electronic stability control help the driver maintain command in slippery or emergency situations. The 911 Assist emergency communication system can summon help automatically in a crash, while the rear parking camera aids with reversing in crowded lots. Multiple airbags—including front, side, knee, and overhead—add protection for all occupants, and advanced systems like brake assist and traction control enhance stability and braking performance.

The Explorer ST-Line's Equipment Group 300A Standard Package brings a range of conveniences and tech features. The infotainment system supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keeping navigation and entertainment easily accessible through the touchscreen display and steering wheel audio controls. Navigation, SiriusXM with 360L, and a 10-speaker sound system deliver a premium in-cabin experience. Comfort features such as power-adjustable driver and passenger seats, automatic temperature control, and rear air conditioning cater to all passengers. Remote keyless entry and a security system add everyday usability and peace of mind.

In the midsize SUV segment, the Explorer ST-Line stands out against competitors like the Honda Passport and Chevrolet Blazer by delivering a proven combination of driving refinement, third-row versatility, and a robust technology suite. Its rear-wheel-drive platform provides a composed ride, while the active safety systems and advanced infotainment distinguish it in a crowded field. The Explorer's flexible interior layout and competitive fuel efficiency further reinforce its value among family-oriented crossovers.

What are the key features of this SUV? It includes heated front seats, heated steering wheel, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, navigation, SiriusXM with 360L, and a power liftgate. How does it perform in daily driving? The EcoBoost engine and 10-speed automatic provide responsive acceleration and smooth shifting, making commuting and road trips comfortable.
