    This Gray exterior ST model combines purposeful engineering with genuine comfort. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 delivers responsive power while maintaining efficiency, returning 18 city and 25 highway miles per gallon. The 10-speed automatic transmission adapts smoothly to your driving needs, and the 4-wheel drive system provides traction and stability when you need it most. With just 5 miles on the odometer, this vehicle is essentially brand new.

    Inside, the Explorer ST offers a welcoming environment for driver and passengers alike. The heated and ventilated captain's chairs in the front row provide individualized comfort with power adjustment capabilities, while the heated steering wheel enhances comfort during cold weather driving. Remote control front windows let you adjust ventilation from outside the vehicle using your key fob. The multicontour seats with front active motion adapt to your body throughout your drive, reducing fatigue on longer journeys.

    Entertainment and connectivity define the modern driving experience, and this Explorer ST delivers on both fronts. The B&O Sound System features 14 speakers and a subwoofer for exceptional audio quality whether you're listening to music, podcasts, or satellite radio through the included SiriusXM service with 360L. BlueCruise capability gives you access to hands-free highway driving technology, while the Ford Connectivity Package provides seven years of seamless connectivity, including 5G access and unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities for your connected devices.

    Practical features enhance daily usability and value. The power liftgate makes loading and unloading simple, while front and second-row floor liners with carpet floor mats protect your investment. An 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit provide peace of mind, and the SecuriCode keyless entry keypad offers convenient access without requiring your key fob. The panoramic fixed glass roof with power shade transforms the cabin with natural light while maintaining complete shade control.

    Safety and visibility technologies work together to keep you confident on the road. Auto high-beam headlights automatically adjust for optimal visibility, front fog lights cut through adverse weather, and the rear parking camera assists when reversing. Rain-sensing wipers automatically engage as conditions warrant, keeping your windshield clear without manual adjustment.

      So far so good - smooth ride - plenty of power for a 2.3 liter 4 cyl which coming from someone who drove a 5.0 V8 for 20 yrs- much better on gas
    • Served our family well!

      Trading my car in next week, I am gonna miss my Explorer. It’s been a good family car. Draw backs: the screen is glitchy at times. Some electronics malfunctioned and I won’t lie, they can be costly to fix. Comfortable, spacious. I never had any mechanical problems with the car, but I did take very good care of it at well. I maintained all recommended services and any replacements were all genuine Ford parts. I hope whoever buys our car, loves it as much as we did.
