If you're looking for a versatile, three-row SUV, the new 2027 Ford Explorer checks every box and some! The Explorer comes standard with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine that produces 300 horsepower and can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

With its oozing style and state-of-the-art features, the Explorer offers innovative technology, ample cargo space, and driver-assistance features. At DeMontrond Ford in Cleveland, you can explore the 2027 Ford Explorer and find a configuration that fits how you drive in East Texas. Let's take a closer look at the new 2027 Ford Explorer.

Explore 2027 Ford Explorer Trim Levels

Ford offers five Explorer trims for 2027: Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum, and ST.
  • The Active starts the lineup with the 300-horsepower 2.3L EcoBoost engine.
  • ST-Line keeps that engine but adds performance-inspired styling and a standard 360-degree camera.
  • The Tremor adds standard Intelligent 4WD, an off-road-tuned suspension, steel deflector plates, and a Torsen limited-slip rear axle, giving it hardware built to leave smooth pavement behind.
  • The Platinum prioritizes luxury with premium leather seating, refined cabin appointments, and a dynamic 3.0L EcoBoost V6.
  • The ST is the performance model, powered by the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 and equipped with a sport-tuned suspension.

Performance and Capability for Everyday Adventures

The standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. That is plenty of power for merging onto I-69 or heading south toward Houston. However, more power is available.

Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.0L EcoBoost V6 produces up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard in the Explorer ST and is available in the Tremor and Platinum.

Every 2027 Explorer also includes six selectable drive modes. Several trims offer Intelligent 4WD, and the Tremor has it standard.

2027 Ford Explorer Interior and Seating

The Explorer seats six or seven passengers, depending on configuration. Second-row captain's chairs are standard across the lineup, giving passengers a clear path to the third row. A second-row bench is available on every trim except Tremor, increasing capacity to seven.

All three rows offer useful space, too. Explorer Active and ST-Line provide 43 inches of front legroom, 37.5 inches in the second row and 31.8 inches in the third.

You don't have to keep the third row up when you need the room for something else. Available PowerFold third-row seats make it much easier to change the cabin configuration.

Cargo Space for Your Daily Routine and Weekend Plans

With all three rows upright, the 2027 Explorer provides 16.3 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the third row. Fold the seats to substantially increase available space.

Active and ST-Line models provide up to 85.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. Tremor, Platinum, and ST models offer up to 85.3 cubic feet.

That flexibility matters when a normal week suddenly turns into a large grocery run, sports equipment, or luggage for a road trip.

Technology That Keeps You Connected

The Explorer's technology centers on the Ford Digital Experience, bringing apps, maps, and entertainment into the cabin.

Available BlueCruise adds hands-free highway driving capability on compatible roads. The ST-Line also includes a standard 360-degree camera, giving you a better view around the SUV when parking in a tight space.

For 2027, Ford expanded several available equipment packages. You can add a new Sun & Sound Package to properly equipped Tremor models with the 3.0L engine, bringing features like an upgraded B&O sound system and a power moonroof.

Is the 2027 Ford Explorer a Good Family SUV?

The numbers make a strong case. It seats up to seven, carries 16.3 cubic feet of cargo without folding the third row, and can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.

More importantly, the Explorer does not lock a family into one type of SUV. A three-row Active has a very different character from a Tremor with its extra ground clearance and off-road hardware. The ST goes in a completely different direction, with 400 horsepower available from its 3.0L EcoBoost V6. That range lets you prioritize the parts of the Explorer you will actually use.
