The 2025 Explorer’s trim levels each bring distinct personality and functionality to suit a variety of lifestyles. The trims are crafted with attention to detail, from bold grilles and striking LED lighting to optional chrome accents and unique wheel designs. The ST-Line and ST trims add a racy, sport-infused demeanor with up to 21-inch Magnetite-painted wheels with red brake calipers, and an available black roof to complement their black mesh grilles. Unique blackout treatment on the LED headlamps and taillamps finish off their aggressive look. The luxurious Platinum trim indulges you with a twin-panel moonroof, Dark-Alloy machined aluminum wheels, and adds adaptive headlamps, LED fog lamps, and rain-sensing wipers for your convenience and safety. Security approach lamps and heated, power-folding side mirrors with integrated LED turn signals show that every detail has been thought out.
