Here in Pilot Point, folks know a good vehicle when they see one. The Ford Explorer has been a trusted name for years, and the 2025 model keeps that tradition alive with smart updates that make everyday driving easier, more comfortable, and a lot more fun.
Whether you’re picking up the kids from school, heading out to Ray Roberts Lake for the weekend, or just want something reliable for your daily commute, the Explorer fits the bill. At Platinum Ford North, we’ve seen firsthand how this SUV checks all the boxes for North Texas drivers.
Let’s take a look at what makes the 2025 Ford Explorer such a solid choice:

1. Design That’s Both Rugged and Refined
The 2025 Explorer shows off a more refined exterior with sculpted lines, a confident stance, and updated LED lighting. Standard 18-inch wheels give it a clean, athletic look, while available 20- and 21-inch options add extra flair. A hands-free power liftgate and front skid plate aren’t just stylish—they’re practical, too.
2. Real Power Under the Hood
Under the hood, you’ll find two engine options that deliver serious performance. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost turbocharged engine puts out 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque—plenty for daily driving and weekend getaways. If you want more muscle, the available 3.0L EcoBoost V6 cranks out 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, making the ST and Platinum trims feel like performance vehicles in disguise.
3. Confident Driving in All Conditions
Ford’s Intelligent 4WD system is available across the Explorer lineup, giving you extra traction when the weather turns or the road gets rough. It constantly monitors wheel speed, steering input, and road conditions to send power where it’s needed most—so you stay in control, no matter what.
4. Terrain Modes That Actually Work
Whether you’re cruising through town or heading off the beaten path, the Explorer’s Terrain Management System helps you adapt. Rear-wheel-drive models offer six drive modes, while 4WD-equipped Explorers add a seventh: Deep Snow/Sand. It’s perfect for Texas drivers who deal with unpredictable terrain.
5. Hands-Free Driving That Feels Natural
The available BlueCruise system lets you take your hands off the wheel on designated highways while the Explorer handles steering, braking, and speed. It’s not just futuristic—it’s practical, especially for long drives across Texas. A driver-facing camera ensures you stay alert and ready to take control when needed.
6. Comfort That Goes the Distance
Inside, the Explorer offers seating for six or seven, depending on your configuration. Available features include heated front seats, a 10-way power driver’s seat, and premium materials like ActiveX or genuine leather. The PowerFold third-row seats make it easy to switch between passengers and cargo, and the optional Bang & Olufsen sound system turns every drive into a concert.
