2025 Ford F-150 Comparison Highlights
The 2023 Explorer continues to be one of America's best-selling SUVs thanks to its wide appeal and versatility. It offers a popular combination of being practical, luxurious, and loaded with performance.
And with eight well-equipped models to choose from, you can build a version of the Explorer that amplifies your unique lifestyle. The core Explorer experience offers all of the essentials for modern-day adventures and delivers plenty of comfort for the entire family. From there, you can add more luxury features like second row Captain's Chairs and a 12-speaker B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen. Or, you can take the rugged route with the Explorer Timberline model which features a Class IV Trailer Tow Package and off-road front struts and rear shocks. And there's always Ford's ST series which gives the Explorer 400 horsepower and unique performance tuning.
On the styling front, the 2023 Explorer is bold and modern with strong character lines and technical details. Eight vibrant exterior colors are available to pair with standard 18-inch alloy wheels, which can be upgraded to 20-inch or 21-inch aluminum wheels depending on your model selection. And the available XLT Sport Appearance Package helps your Explorer stand out from the crowd even more with Carbonized Gray-painted 10-spoke wheels, lower bodyside cladding inserts, skit plate elements, and chrome dual exhaust tips, to name a few.
Whether you're by yourself or with up to six other passengers, the Explorer's spacious interior is ready for whatever the day may bring thanks to thoughtful appointments and convenience features at every turn. The easily configurable three rows of seating lets you transport people or cargo with ease, while the available 10.1-inch Portrait Touchscreen brings the best in modern connectivity to your fingertips. You can even set the mood for evening drives with available ambient lighting for the first and second rows - choose from seven colors for a soothing and immersive experience.
Power for the 2023 Explorer comes in the form of three engine types, including a hybrid option. All of these engines deliver 300 horsepower or more, and offer enhanced performance and efficiency thanks to thoughtful engineering and advanced turbocharging technologies. And because your adventures might take you off of paved roads, both 2WD and 4WD Explorer models come standard with a Terrain Management System, giving you access to up to seven drive modes for scenarios like deep snow/sand, slippery surfaces, or towing and hauling. Standard Ford Co-Pilot360 also provides added peace of mind with enhanced awareness functions and advanced driver assistance.
