Trim Levels
2027 Ford Explorer Trim Levels
The Ford Explorer 2027 trim options give families plenty of ways to customize their three-row SUV. Some trims focus on everyday comfort, while others lean toward sporty styling, off-road adventures, or premium amenities.
The Ford Explorer trim levels include Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum, and ST. Rather than following one simple upgrade path, each model develops a different side of the Explorer's personality.
Explorer Trim Levels
2027 Ford Explorer Active
The Active provides a strong starting point without feeling like a bare-bones SUV. Its 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine produces 300 horsepower and pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Key features include:
- 13.2-inch center display
- 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Heated front seats
- Tri-zone automatic climate control
- Second-row captain's chairs
- Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+
- Class III Trailer Tow Package
- Up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity
Families can also choose an available second-row bench to increase seating from six to seven.
2027 Ford Explorer ST-Line
The ST-Line builds on the Active with a sportier appearance and additional technology. It keeps the 300-horsepower 2.3L EcoBoost engine, making it a good match for drivers who like the ST look but do not need the ST's extra power.
Upgrades include:
- 20-inch Ebony-painted wheels
- Blacked-out exterior accents
- ST-Line badging
- 360-degree camera
- Front parking sensors
- 10-speaker B&O sound system
- Heated leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0
- Available BlueCruise
An available ST-Line Street Pack takes the sporty look even further with 21-inch wheels and performance-inspired details.
2027 Ford Explorer Tremor
The Tremor takes the Explorer in a different direction. Instead of simply adding more luxury to the ST-Line, it prepares the SUV for drivers who spend more time away from pavement.
Key upgrades include:
- Standard Intelligent 4WD
- Increased ride height
- Off-road-tuned suspension
- Torsen limited-slip rear axle
- Steel underbody protection
- All-terrain tires
- Unique front tow hooks
- Heated and ventilated front seats
The standard 2.3L EcoBoost produces 300 horsepower, while an available 3.0L EcoBoost V6 can produce up to 400 horsepower. Among the Ford Explorer trims, the Tremor makes the most sense for families who mix everyday driving with trails, camping trips, and outdoor adventures.
2027 Ford Explorer Platinum
The Platinum shifts the focus from rugged capability to comfort. It adds premium cabin features that make longer drives more relaxing for everyone on board.
Notable upgrades include:
- Heated and ventilated front seats
- Multicontour front seats with Active Motion
- Heated second-row seats
- PowerFold third-row seats
- 14-speaker B&O premium sound system
- Ambient lighting
- 360-degree camera
- BlueCruise equipment
- Power-folding exterior mirrors
The standard 2.3L EcoBoost remains available, while the optional 3.0L Ultimate Package adds the V6, premium leather seating, exclusive 21-inch wheels, and quad exhaust tips.
2027 Ford Explorer ST
The ST sits at the performance end of the lineup. It trades the Platinum's luxury-first personality for more power and sharper handling.
Performance highlights include:
- 3.0L EcoBoost V6
- Up to 400 horsepower
- 415 lb-ft of torque
- Sport-tuned suspension
- Lowered ride height
- 21-inch Magnetite-painted wheels
- Paddle shifters
- Quad exhaust tips
- Available Intelligent 4WD
For 2027, Ford also offers a new Sinister Package with gloss-black wheels, unique accent lighting, and darkened ST details.
Which 2027 Explorer Trim Is Right for You?
Choose the Active for everyday value and family-friendly features. Step up to the ST-Line for more style and technology. The Tremor fits drivers who want added off-road confidence, while the Platinum prioritizes premium comfort. Drivers looking for the strongest performance should start with the ST.
