Dealer Comments
Parents looking for a practical, family-ready SUV will appreciate the Explorer ST’s balance of comfort, technology, and flexibility. The split-folding rear seat and power liftgate make it easy to load groceries, sports equipment, or luggage, while rear air conditioning and heated rear seats keep passengers comfortable in any climate. In areas like Lakeland, FL, where year-round outdoor activities are common, this SUV’s adaptable interior and advanced features support busy family schedules and spontaneous getaways alike.
The Explorer ST’s 3.0L EcoBoost V6 and 10-speed automatic transmission deliver power for confident highway merging, smooth acceleration even with a full cabin, and the flexibility to manage family trips with ease. Rear-wheel drive enhances handling, while the EPA-estimated 18 city and 25 highway MPG help keep fuel stops infrequent during long drives. The quiet, well-insulated cabin ensures comfortable conversations on road trips, and the suspension absorbs rough pavement to minimize backseat complaints from kids.
Safety is a top priority in this SUV, with comprehensive coverage that brings peace of mind to parents. Dual front, side, knee, and overhead airbags protect all seating rows, while a rearview camera and rain-sensing wipers help with parking and poor weather visibility. The Explorer ST includes ABS brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and brake assist to maintain control in emergencies. LATCH anchor points in the rear rows make car seat installation straightforward, while BlueCruise Equipped hands-free driving support (with a 1-Year + 90-Day Plan) helps reduce fatigue on long stretches, keeping families safer on the road.
The Explorer ST is loaded with features designed for family comfort and convenience. The Sun and Sound Package offers a premium sound experience, while Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, navigation, and SiriusXM with 360L keep everyone entertained. Heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and memory seat settings provide front-row luxury, while rear occupants enjoy heated seats and their own air conditioning controls. The Ford Connectivity Package ensures easy access to tech, and a power liftgate streamlines loading and unloading in busy parking lots.
When compared to other three-row SUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse and Toyota Highlander, the Explorer ST stands out with its athletic EcoBoost V6, hands-free BlueCruise system, and a suite of comfort features that cater to family needs. While competitors offer strong reliability, this SUV’s advanced driver aids and customizable interior layout give it an edge for active families who value both technology and flexibility in their daily drives.
How many car seats fit in the back? The Explorer ST’s three-row layout and accessible LATCH points make it easy to secure up to three child seats, depending on configuration. Is this SUV safe for kids and teens? Yes, it offers an array of airbags, traction and stability controls, and a rearview camera for added awareness.
