The 2027 Ford Explorer is Ford’s versatile three-row family SUV, now carrying some of the biggest additions the lineup has seen in years. An all-new Tremor off-road trim, a returning 3.0-liter V6 on the Platinum, and a broader range of configuration choices make the 2027 Explorer a stronger fit across more buyer types than any recent model year. It’s available now at Pundmann Ford in St. Charles.

The 2027 Explorer is a three-row SUV built on a rear-wheel-drive-based platform, available in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations across five trim levels. Two engine options cover the lineup: a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder producing 300 horsepower in the Active, ST-Line, and Platinum trims, and a 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 producing 385 horsepower in the ST and TREMOR. When properly equipped, the Explorer tows up to 5,000 pounds and seats up to seven passengers across three rows, with cargo capacity reaching 85.3 cubic feet when all seats are folded. Ford also returned the Panoramic Vista Roof to the 2027 lineup after replacing it with a fixed-glass roof for the 2026 model year.
The Explorer covers a wide range of buyers without asking any of them to compromise. Families who need three rows of usable space without crossing into full-size SUV pricing will find it in the Active or ST-Line. Buyers who want a sportier personality get the ST, with its 385-horsepower V6 and performance-tuned character. For drivers in St. Charles and the greater St. Louis area who want to take weekends off the pavement, the all-new TREMOR brings dedicated off-road hardware and 4WD-only configuration for the first time in the Explorer lineup. And for buyers who want a more refined, upscale experience, the Platinum pairs a well-equipped cabin with the available 3.0-liter V6, making it the most capable and comfortable combination the Explorer offers.
The headline addition this year is the Explorer TREMOR, a purpose-built off-road trim that didn’t exist on the 2026 model. It comes standard with off-road hardware, a 385-horsepower 3.0-liter V6, and 4WD-only configuration, giving Explorer buyers a trail-ready option the nameplate has never had before. The Platinum trim regains the 3.0-liter V6 as an available configuration, a welcome return for buyers who want the luxury-leaning trim with the stronger powertrain. Two new exterior colors join the lineup: Avalanche Gray and Ruby Red Metallic. The Security Package is now available across all trims.
