At Poage Ford in Bowling Green, MO, we're thrilled to showcase the impressive 2025 Ford Explorer lineup. This iconic SUV has been fully redesigned, offering a perfect blend of adventurous capability, family-friendly versatility, and upscale comfort. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast seeking off-road thrills or a family needing spacious accommodations for your Missouri adventures, the new Explorer delivers.

Powerfully Capable Performance

Under the hood, the 2025 Explorer offers two robust EcoBoost engine options. The standard 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generates an ample 300 horsepower, while the available 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 kicks things up to an exhilarating 400 horsepower. Both pair with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission for responsive acceleration. Planning to tow ATVs or a boat to the Mississippi River in Louisiana, MO? The Explorer has you covered with a maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds when properly equipped.

For those craving off-road excitement, the Explorer's available Intelligent 4WD maximizes traction on rugged trails outside Vandalia, MO. The Terrain Management System optimizes performance for various conditions like mud, sand, and snow.

Head-Turning Style, Inside and Out

The Explorer's exterior strikes a commanding presence on the streets of Pittsfield, IL, with its bold, muscular proportions and sculpted lines. Available 20-inch aluminum wheels, LED signature lighting, and distinct grille designs across the trim levels make it stand out from the SUV crowd.

Inside the spacious cabin, you'll find an oasis of comfort and craftsmanship. Available Twin-Panel Moonroof bathes the interior in natural light, while premium materials like available perforated leather-trimmed seating and wood accents create an air of sophisticated refinement. Whether you're heading out for a golf weekend or carpooling around St. Louis, MO, the Explorer comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers and offers plenty of versatile cargo space.

Intuitive Technology at Your Fingertips

The Explorer's available 10.1-inch portrait touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster put a range of smart tech at your command. SYNC infotainment system seamlessly connects with your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, while the available Bang & Olufsen sound system surrounds you in immersive audio. And with the FordPass Connect app, you can remotely start your Explorer, check fuel levels, and even find your parked vehicle.

Confidence-Inspiring Safety Features

Your family's safety is paramount, and the new Explorer delivers with the Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist technologies. Standard features like Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring System, Lane Keeping System, and Rear View Camera help enhance your awareness and avoid potential hazards on your daily commutes and weekend getaways alike.

Trims for Every Adventure

With four distinct trim levels—Platinum, ST-Line, Active, and ST—you can equip your Explorer to match your style and needs:

  • Platinum: The pinnacle of Explorer luxury, featuring massaging ActiveX leather-trimmed seats, Bang & Olufsen sound, a twin-panel moonroof, and Aerial View Camera System.
