Fall is a time for me to check out new SUVs and share how they ride and favorite features. Today I will be sharing the 2025 Ford Explorer First Look.
I received the 2025 Ford Explorer Active 4WD for review purposes but as usual, all opinions are my own.

Ford Explorer “Easter Eggs”
Loved finding a few surprises, some unexpected Easter Eggs around the vehicle:

For Explorer Easter Egg 2: Detroit City Skyline which is the home for Ford Motor Company
Ford Explorer Easter Egg 3: Chicago City Skyline where the Ford Assembly Plant which builds the Explorer is located.
Easter Egg 4: features a mountain range behind the silhouette of the 5 generations of the Explorer.
Adventures driving the Ford Explorer
I took it to a local favorite Hiking Spot and it showed the capability and power you want in a great SUV
It rained the whole week unfortunately but I loved taking the Ford Explorer to run local errands downtown and on the Hwy.
The EcoBoost Engine gave us a “rumble” I haven’t heard in the other recent SUVs I’ve driven, but I love it! It reminded me of the Mustang!
I visited a friend with the vehicle and a girl passed me with her grandma and asked: Are you a cop? I smiled and said do I look like a cop?
She replied: you’re driving a cop car! Love when the brand awareness is extended to the community!
My neighbor who is a State Trooper and drives an older version of the Explorer for work, said, wow! We need an upgrade!
The price for the Ford Explorer as seen is $48,320.00
Fuel Economy: 20 city and 27 hwy

This is a great car for a family, we never had a Ford as a whole family before but maybe my partner and I can get this. Love the space inside and how it’s comfortable.
They are definitely not used as cop cars here in Belgium. Looks like a great car.
This is a massive care. I like its spacious salon, unique features like a bigger screen, nice dials and comfy driver and passenger seats.
I enjoyed reading your first look at the 2025 Ford Explorer! The updates you mentioned sound impressive, especially the enhancements in technology and safety features.
The Ford Explorer looks like such a great car to drive. I love the look of the interior too, it looks comfortable and stylish at the same time. Definitely something that I would love to own.
The 2025 Ford Explorer’s sleek design and modern tech upgrades make it stand out! I’m particularly impressed with the new safety features. This model seems set to impress drivers looking for both style and functionality.
That Ford Explorer looks absolutely amazing! Also love it’s great features and sleek look as well.
This first look at the 2025 Ford Explorer is so exciting! You’ve highlighted some great features that make it perfect for family adventures.
Ford is always a brand of car that I feel has so much luxury and convenience. This is a really neat model!
Looks like a really good sized car, and what a great looking boot. This is exactly the kind of colour car I’d go for if I was buying one now x
Ford is my dream brand car. I will note all these for my future purchases.
Such a beautiful car. I HAVE to get this.
“You’re driving a cop car.” Wow, what a compliment. Henry Ford must be doing a happy dance in his grave. But seriously this post makes me want a new car 🙂
I really dig the new Explorer design. It has a little bit of that old-school flair underneath those shiny new lines. I like it a lot!
This is such a gorgeous vehicle! I love that it has that classic “big” look without being boxy, and it has so much space!
The attention to detail oh wow!!! This is a gorgeous SUV to have. I would love to test drive it, I will as soon as possible.
The new Ford Explorer likes fantastic! Thanks for the review and photos.
