2025 Ford Explorer Revealed With Updates And $41,220 Price

The Ford Explorer is getting updated styling and tech for 2025.

The three-row SUV features a redesigned front end with new headlights and a more rectangular grille, but the rest of its body remains largely unchanged.

Its interior revamp is more substantial, with a new dashboard that opens up space in the cabin and is trimmed in more soft-touch materials.

Four trim levels will be offered: Active, ST-Line, ST and Platinum. The off-road Timberline trim will not initially be in the lineup. The starting price for an Active $41,220, which is up from $38,445 from the current entry-level model.
