Dealer Comments

The 2026 Ford Explorer ST is purpose-built for families who need a versatile SUV that can handle school runs, weekend trips, and daily errands with equal ease. With three rows of seating, it comfortably accommodates kids, car seats, and all the gear that comes with an active household.

Parents seeking a well-appointed and spacious SUV for their growing family will appreciate the Explorer ST’s thoughtful features. The standard heated front and rear seats, tri-zone automatic climate control, and split-folding rear seats allow for comfort and flexibility, whether shuttling children to after-school activities or loading up for family vacations. In regions like Lakeland, FL, the Explorer's four-wheel drive and advanced traction systems deliver peace of mind during unpredictable weather or on family road trips across varying terrain.

A 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission provides smooth and confident acceleration, even with a cabin full of passengers and cargo. The four-wheel drive system ensures stable handling on slick roads or when heading out for a weekend adventure. Fuel efficiency, at an EPA-estimated 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway, balances power with economy, making the Explorer ST a practical option for both daily commutes and long-distance family journeys.

Family safety remains front and center in the Explorer ST, offering peace of mind through comprehensive active and passive systems. Dual front, side, and overhead airbags safeguard every row, while advanced driver aids like BlueCruise Equipped (1-Year + 90-Day Plan), blind spot monitoring, and an exterior parking camera enhance situational awareness. The standard LATCH system ensures secure child seat installation, and rain-sensing wipers, rear window defroster, and rear window wiper help maintain visibility in all weather conditions. Automatic emergency braking and electronic stability control further protect what matters most.

The Explorer ST includes the Equipment Group 400A Standard Package and Sun and Sound Package, which add real-world comfort and connectivity. Families enjoy a 10-speaker audio system with SiriusXM with 360L, navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and a heated steering wheel for colder mornings. The Ford Connectivity Package (one-time purchase, 7 years) keeps everyone connected, while the power memory seats, remote keyless entry, and full suite of power features simplify life on the go. Ventilated front seats and dual-zone climate control keep the cabin comfortable for all passengers.

Compared with other family-focused SUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot, the Explorer ST stands out for its blend of robust turbocharged performance and advanced technology. Its BlueCruise hands-free driving system and heated seating in both front and rear rows enhance safety and comfort on long trips, distinguishing it from competitors. The Explorer’s flexibility and upscale features make it an appealing choice for families prioritizing both safety and driving enjoyment.

How many car seats can fit in the back? The Explorer accommodates multiple car seats across its three rows, with secure LATCH anchors for easy installation. Is this SUV safe for new drivers in the family? Yes, it offers advanced driver aids like lane-keeping assistance and blind spot monitoring to support confident driving.
