Compare the 2025 Ford Explorer Specs & Performance

The extra power isn't the only thing distinguishing the Ford, either -- the new Explorer also features technologies like Trailer Sway Control and a Terrain Management System as standard. Want the latter on a new Pilot? While it does offer different drive modes across all trims, only one such trim -- the Pilot TrailSport -- has anything that may be comparable to a system truly optimized for different terrains, like that of the Explorer.
