About this vehicle
The 2026 Ford Explorer ST sets a new benchmark for in-cabin technology with its advanced infotainment ecosystem, featuring a crisp, high-resolution touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and SiriusXM with 360L for seamless streaming. Tech-forward buyers who prioritize maximum connectivity, digital convenience, and the latest driver-assistance technology will find the Explorer ST tailored to their needs. Whether staying in touch with colleagues on the go or managing playlists on family road trips, the SUV’s smartphone integration and steering wheel-mounted audio controls ensure that apps and calls are always within easy reach. In regions like Lakeland, FL, where drivers value climate comfort and connectivity for daily errands or weekend getaways, features like heated front and rear seats, automatic temperature control, and remote keyless entry combine with digital amenities to elevate every drive. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers responsive acceleration, while drive technologies such as selectable drive modes and electronic stability control make the driving experience customizable and confidence-inspiring. The RWD platform supports agile handling, and digital systems like speed-sensing steering and a trip computer provide real-time insights into performance. The Explorer ST’s intelligent powertrain harmonizes with its advanced tech, allowing drivers to tailor throttle response and comfort settings for city traffic or open highways, all while benefiting from the efficiency of 18 city and 25 highway EPA-estimated MPG. Smart safety is at the core of this SUV, with BlueCruise hands-free driving, a rear exterior parking camera, rain-sensing wipers, and a comprehensive collection of electronic sensors. These systems work together to monitor traffic, maintain lane discipline, and assist in emergency maneuvers, while features such as ABS brakes, electronic stability control, and a security system provide backup in unpredictable conditions. The emergency communication system, 911 Assist, ensures that help is accessible with a touch, while blind-spot monitoring and automatic high-beam headlights use advanced processing to adapt to changing road scenarios, reducing the cognitive load on the driver. Available packages like the Sun and Sound Package further enhance the digital experience, combining immersive audio from 10 speakers with a panoramic view and integrated navigation. The equipment group 400A Standard Package includes luxury touches such as a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, memory seat settings, and dual-zone automatic climate control, all of which can be controlled through both physical and digital touchpoints. Against competitors like the Chevrolet Traverse RS and the Kia Telluride SX, the Explorer ST stands out for its advanced infotainment suite, BlueCruise hands-free capability, and robust digital ergonomics. Does the Explorer ST offer wireless CarPlay and Android Auto? Yes—wireless integration allows effortless smartphone pairing and access to apps, calls, and messages.
