2027 Ford Explorer Active

Explorer Active provides the foundation for shoppers who want the space and flexibility of a three row Explorer without moving immediately into the more specialized trims. Ford publishes a 2.3L EcoBoost engine, power liftgate, heated front row seats, 13.2 inch center display, Ford Digital Experience and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Rear wheel drive and available Intelligent 4WD give buyers additional configuration choices.

2027 Ford Explorer ST-Line

ST-Line changes the visual and technology character of the Explorer while retaining the 2.3L EcoBoost engine. Ford lists 20 inch Ebony Black painted machined aluminum wheels, black exterior accents, unique headlamp and taillamp treatment, a 360 Degree Camera and B&O audio with 10 speakers. Available BlueCruise adds another technology option for drivers who spend substantial time on compatible highways.

2027 Ford Explorer Tremor

Tremor is the most terrain focused member of the 2027 Explorer family. Ford publishes Intelligent 4WD, 18 inch wheels with all terrain tires, a Torsen limited slip rear axle, off road tuned suspension with increased ride height, underbody protection and a Selectable Off Road drive mode. It comes with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine and offers the 3.0L EcoBoost V6.

2027 Ford Explorer Platinum

Platinum focuses on comfort and premium convenience while keeping the Explorer's three row flexibility. Ford publishes PowerFold third row seats, a 360 Degree Camera, BlueCruise equipment, an Open On Approach liftgate, heated second row seats and available premium leather seating surfaces. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 is available for buyers who want additional power.

2027 Ford Explorer ST

Explorer ST is the performance oriented model. Ford equips it with the 3.0L twin turbo EcoBoost V6, sport tuned suspension, performance brakes with red painted calipers, 21 inch Magnetite painted wheels and quad tipped exhaust. It also includes PowerFold third row seats and BlueCruise equipment as published by Ford.

2027 Ford Explorer Engines and Performance

The 2027 Explorer gives shoppers two Ford published EcoBoost engine choices. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 is standard on Active, ST-Line, Tremor and Platinum. Ford rates it at 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.*

The 3.0L twin turbocharged EcoBoost V6 is standard on Explorer ST and available on Tremor and Platinum. Ford publishes up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque from this engine.* Ford notes that published horsepower for the available 3.0L engine can be 385 or 400 horsepower depending on the state where the vehicle is purchased.

That powertrain structure lets shoppers choose an Explorer based on use rather than simply moving through a linear trim ladder. A family may prefer the 2.3L engine in an Active or Platinum, while another buyer may want the 3.0L engine in a Tremor or the performance focus of the ST.

How Many People Can the 2027 Ford Explorer Seat?

The 2027 Ford Explorer offers seating for up to seven occupants on applicable configurations.* Ford states that all Explorer models include third row seating.

A seven passenger second row bench is available on all models except Tremor. Tremor uses a six passenger configuration according to Ford's published specifications. PowerFold third row seats are available on Tremor and standard on ST and Platinum.

For Tyler area families, that means the trim decision can affect not only features and performance but also the second row seating arrangement. Buyers who routinely need seven seats should pay particular attention to that distinction when comparing Tremor with other Explorer models.

2027 Ford Explorer Cargo Space

Cargo flexibility is one of the Explorer's strongest practical attributes. Ford publishes a maximum cargo capacity of 85.8 cubic feet for Active and ST-Line models.* Tremor, Platinum and ST provide up to 85.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity.*

With every passenger row in use, Ford publishes 16.3 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seats across the lineup.*

Those numbers make it useful to think about Explorer space in two ways. A household regularly carrying six or seven occupants should consider the 16.3 cubic feet available with all seats up, while owners who frequently fold the rear rows can make use of more than 85 cubic feet on applicable configurations.

How Much Can the 2027 Ford Explorer Tow?

Ford publishes a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds for the 2027 Explorer when properly equipped.* Ford lists that maximum across the model specifications shown on the supplied page.

For East Texas buyers who may pull a recreational trailer, utility trailer or other load, the 5,000 pound figure should be treated as a maximum properly equipped rating. Actual capability depends on the individual vehicle, equipment, passengers, cargo and trailer setup.

2027 Ford Explorer Tremor for Drivers Who Leave the Pavement

Tremor gives the Explorer lineup a clearly differentiated capability choice. Ford equips the model with Intelligent 4WD, a Torsen limited slip rear axle, off road tuned suspension with increased ride height and front and rear underbody deflector plates.

Ford publishes 8.7 inches of minimum running ground clearance for Tremor, compared with lower published ground clearance on the other Explorer models. It also receives 18 inch Ebony Black painted aluminum wheels with all terrain tires, Electric Spice painted tow hooks and off road auxiliary lights.

For shoppers around Tyler, Palestine, Jacksonville, Frankston or Nacogdoches who regularly transition from paved roads to rural property, recreation areas or less improved surfaces, Tremor provides a substantially different Explorer configuration without requiring buyers to leave the three row SUV category.

2027 Ford Explorer ST Performance

The ST represents the opposite side of the Explorer spectrum from Tremor. Instead of emphasizing off road hardware, it focuses on on road performance.

The ST uses Ford's 3.0L EcoBoost V6 and publishes up to 400 horsepower. Ford also equips ST with a sport tuned suspension, performance brakes with red painted calipers, 21 inch Magnetite painted aluminum wheels and quad tipped exhaust.

For 2027, Ford also identifies the new ST Sinister Package as an available appearance option for Explorer ST.

2027 Ford Explorer Exterior Features

Exterior details vary significantly among the five Explorer models. Active includes a power liftgate, roof rack side rails and LED headlamps and taillamps. ST-Line adds black exterior accents and a unique blackout treatment for the lighting.

Tremor incorporates functional hardware including all terrain tires, tow hooks, auxiliary lights and underbody protection. Platinum includes features such as an Open On Approach liftgate, satin aluminum accents and adaptive headlamps. ST uses performance focused details including 21 inch wheels, red brake calipers and quad exhaust outlets.

2027 Ford Explorer Interior and Three Row Flexibility

The Explorer interior changes substantially depending on trim. Active includes heated front seats and a 10 way power driver's seat. ST-Line uses unique cloth trimmed front and second row seating with red stitching and offers heated second row seats.

Tremor includes heated front and second row seats with stitched Tremor logos, while Platinum adds heated, ventilated and massaging front row seats with leather inserts and available premium leather seating surfaces. ST includes heated and ventilated front seats, red accent stitching and ambient lighting.

All models maintain a third row, allowing shoppers to choose among different performance and comfort levels without giving up the Explorer's basic three row layout.

2027 Ford Explorer Technology

Ford publishes a 13.2 inch center display and Ford Digital Experience on Explorer Active, with the same display size also listed for ST-Line. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability is published across the models shown on the supplied page.

Depending on trim, additional technology includes a 360 Degree Camera, B&O audio with 10 or available 14 speakers, wireless smartphone connectivity and BlueCruise hands free highway driving technology.

Ford's available BlueCruise technology also includes Automatic Lane Change functionality as described on the supplied 2027 Explorer page. The system is designed for compatible roadways and requires driver attention even during hands free operation.

2027 Ford Explorer Safety and Driver Assistance

Ford publishes Co-Pilot360 driver assistance technologies across the Explorer range. Depending on model, these include features such as Adaptive Cruise Control and a 360 Degree Camera.

BlueCruise is available on ST-Line and Tremor and equipped on ST and Platinum as identified by Ford. Driver assistance features are supplemental technologies and do not replace attentive driving or the driver's responsibility to control the vehicle.

Driving a 2027 Ford Explorer Near Tyler, TX

The Explorer's combination of three row seating, cargo flexibility and available 4WD makes it relevant to a wide range of East Texas driving rather than one narrow use case. A Tyler household may need room for school, work and weekend passengers during the week, then need additional cargo capacity when the rear seats are folded. Other owners may make regular trips between Tyler and Palestine or travel farther through East Texas with passengers, luggage and recreational equipment.

Regional routes including US 79 and SH 155 connect Tyler with Palestine and surrounding communities, while All Star Ford Palestine's location on S Loop 256 provides convenient access to additional regional roads including US 287. Shoppers traveling from Jacksonville, Frankston or Nacogdoches may also encounter a mix of highway, rural and local driving.

That variety is one reason the Explorer trim differences matter. Active can satisfy shoppers seeking straightforward three row versatility. ST-Line adds a sport influenced look and additional technology. Tremor is better suited to drivers who value 4WD and off road hardware, Platinum emphasizes comfort, and ST adds the most powerful Explorer configuration published by Ford.

Choosing Between Explorer Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum and ST Near Tyler

A practical way to choose a 2027 Explorer is to begin with how the SUV will be used most often.

Active provides the core three row Explorer formula with the 300 horsepower 2.3L EcoBoost engine and modern connectivity.

ST-Line keeps the 2.3L engine while adding distinctive exterior treatment, a 360 Degree Camera and premium audio.

Tremor is the specialized choice for drivers who want Intelligent 4WD, increased ground clearance and factory off road equipment.

Platinum emphasizes interior comfort, convenience technology and available 3.0L EcoBoost performance.

ST is the performance choice with the 3.0L EcoBoost V6, sport tuned suspension and performance brakes.
