Which New Ford Explorer Trim Should You Choose?

The Explorer Active 100A is a practical starting point for shoppers who want three rows, towing capability, and modern technology at a lower starting price. Explorer Active adds comfort upgrades that make daily driving feel easier, including heated front-row seating and a power liftgate.

The ST-Line is a strong fit for shoppers who like sport-inspired styling and upgraded audio without moving to the ST performance model. Tremor is the best match for drivers who want more trail-ready hardware and standard Intelligent 4WD. Platinum emphasizes premium comfort, while ST delivers the strongest performance in the lineup.

Ford Explorer vs. Escape vs. Expedition

The Ford Explorer fits between the compact Ford Escape and the full-size Ford Expedition. Explorer gives shoppers three-row seating, up to 5,000 pounds of towing capability, and easier everyday maneuverability than a full-size SUV. Escape is smaller and more efficiency-focused, while Expedition offers more passenger room, more cargo room, and higher towing capability when properly equipped.

This makes Explorer a strong middle choice for drivers who need more seating and towing strength than a compact SUV but do not need the larger footprint of a full-size Expedition.
