2025 Ford Explorer: Taking Your Drive to the Next Level

In the fast-paced world we live in today, it’s more important than ever to have a reliable vehicle by your side, which is exactly what you’ll get when you look for a 2025 Ford Explorer for sale. The Explorer has been a mainstay in the Ford lineup since the early 1990s, when it became one of the first SUVs on the market, starting a revolution that continues today. In fact, the SUV is the top-selling type of vehicle in the United States, and the Explorer is the best-selling model in the three-row segment, which makes it a strong contender as you start your quest for the best SUV for your needs.

Our team at DePaula Ford has proudly stood behind the Ford brand for years, and we’ve helped many of our customers find the vehicle they need to get them from point A to point B during that time. You’ll find that we’re committed to offering a stress-free and hassle-free shopping experience that starts with taking the time to answer any questions you might have. From there, we’ll narrow down our selection to help you find the best match, as well as assist you with financing, maintenance, and more. We’re not like other dealerships you might have worked with in the past. Rather, we strive to build a long-lasting relationship with our customers, and that starts with open communication, knowledge about the vehicles we offer, and an understanding of your needs. With that being said, we’re excited about the new Ford lineup, including the 2025 Ford Explorer, and can’t wait for you to learn about it.

2025 Ford Explorer Changes

While the new Explorer lineup has been reduced from eight to four trim options, it’s what those trim options offer that has us excited. You’ll notice the differences between last year’s model and this year’s right away, with the presence of a new grille, headlamps, and taillamps. Also, three out of the four trims offer a black-painted roof option that sets your new Explorer apart. Perhaps the biggest change in the new Explorer is the addition of BlueCruise, which is Ford’s hands-free driving system.

This means that you not only get the comfort, functionality, and power the Explorer offers, but you also get the latest technological advancements that improve your drive in ways you can’t even imagine. And speaking of new technological advancements, the 2025 Explorer also introduces the Ford Digital Experience, which lets you take full advantage of your favorite apps and more when parked. Keep reading to learn more about these changes and what else the newest Explorer has to offer.

Technology-Driven

It’s hard to talk about the newest version of the Explorer without talking about the technology it offers. After all, it’s the first model to debut the Ford Digital Experience, and this model year is the first time Explorer drivers can enjoy the freedom of hands-free driving.

First things first, the Ford Digital Experience lets you take technology to the next level and improve the entertainment factor of your vehicle. This completely customizable system lets you not only access content while keeping your eyes on the road, but it also delivers crisp and clear images across multiple screens. You’ll be able to download your favorite apps from Google Play directly to the vehicle without needing your phone. From there, you can use them right on the screen. That’s right; whether you need to take a Zoom meeting while at the park to get some fresh air or your youngest wants to play a game while waiting for the older one to finish soccer practice, you can access everything you need from your Explorer’s dash.

The Ford Digital Experience also takes customization up a notch by allowing you to save personalization options, such as the position of your driver’s seat, the steering wheel, and the exterior mirrors. Plus, you can link your Google account to enjoy fast access to Google Maps and other information. Eligible vehicles also gain one year of complimentary Ford Premium Connectivity, which gives you access to Alexa built-in and even Wi-Fi to enhance the experience even more.

Second, access to Ford’s BlueCruise system lets you relax more during the journey, which means you can reach your destination feeling fresh and energized. Plus, the system is focused on safety along the way, giving you peace of mind. You’ll find that over 130,000 miles of divided highways across North America, covering 97% of controlled-access highways, are hands-free Blue Zones. This means that you can travel the roads and take the opportunity to enjoy them as they pass by rather than stress about the traffic.

The BlueCruise system is able to brake, accelerate, and change lanes easily, thanks to Ford’s technology. Even better? Consumer Reports named BlueCruise the top-ranked active driving system two years in a row thanks to the added safety technologies it offers and the system’s driver-attention system. This includes a driver-facing camera that tracks eye gaze and head position, ensuring that you’re still paying attention while your hands are off the wheel.

Comfort, Capability, and Convenience

Beyond the technological advancements the new Explorer offers, we’re also excited about the experience you’ll enjoy, thanks to Ford’s dedication to comfort, capability, and convenience. For instance, there’s the available PowerFold third-row seat that makes increasing cargo space much easier. Speaking of cargo space, the Explorer gives you up to 85.8 cu.ft., which is more than enough to haul passengers and their luggage or load it up with the treasures you find while thrifting with your best friend. The cargo space is made even more accessible thanks to the standard power liftgate.

You’ll also find convenience and capability in the thoughtful interior design, starting with the standard 13.2-inch touchscreen. This touchscreen is where you can access the Ford Digital Experience and so much more. Plus, since it’s all within reach, you can remain focused on the road while getting the information you need. Available perks like voice connectivity, heated and vented seats, a wireless charging pad, and more help you enjoy the drive regardless of whether you’re headed a few blocks away or further afield. Finally, you’ll also find that the attention to detail in the seating gives you not only durability thanks to the materials Ford chose for the Explorer but also the utmost comfort for you and up to six passengers.

There are also a variety of packages to consider when choosing your 2025 Ford Explorer, from the Active Comfort Package, which focuses on giving you the amenities you need to make the drive more comfortable than ever before, to the ST-Line Premium Package. This package truly takes your Explorer to the next level with the addition of ambient lighting, a memory driver’s seat, second-row heated seats, and more. Our team can explore your requirements for comfort, convenience, and capability when you come in and talk with us, ensuring you get the right Explorer for your needs.
