About this vehicle
The 2026 Ford Explorer ST delivers family-friendly versatility with a strong focus on comfort, advanced technology, and peace of mind for busy households. Parents seeking a practical solution for everyday routines and weekend adventures will appreciate the Explorer ST’s thoughtful design. With easy access to the third row and split-folding rear seats, loading kids, friends, and cargo is effortless. The rear air conditioning and heated rear seats keep passengers comfortable on long drives, especially in the warm climate of Lakeland, FL. Modern connectivity through Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a premium 10-speaker audio system keep everyone entertained, making this SUV ideal for families with active schedules and diverse needs. A 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission provide smooth yet responsive power for highway merging, city errands, and full-cabin drives. Four-wheel drive inspires confidence in changing weather and road conditions, while the Explorer’s stable handling allows parents to navigate busy school zones or winding vacation routes with ease. EPA ratings of 18 mpg city and 25 mpg highway help keep fuel stops manageable, supporting efficient family travel without sacrificing capability or comfort. Family safety is prioritized with an array of active protection features. Dual front, side, and overhead airbags provide comprehensive coverage, while the LATCH system ensures secure installation of multiple car seats. BlueCruise Equipped driver assistance, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear parking camera, and rain-sensing wipers work together to protect what matters most. The rear-seat reminder and emergency communication system offer added peace of mind, helping parents stay aware and connected on every drive. The ST trim brings luxury and convenience to family life with heated and ventilated front seats, memory seat function, and a heated steering wheel for comfort in any season. The Power Liftgate enables hands-free access for loading groceries or strollers, while the Navigation System and Ford Connectivity Package support seamless trip planning and in-car internet options. The Sun and Sound Package elevates the experience further, and features like remote keyless entry and a security system enhance daily ease and security. Compared to other three-row SUVs like the Chevrolet Traverse and Honda Pilot, the Explorer ST stands out with its combination of performance, advanced driver assistance features, and high-end interior appointments. Its 4WD capability offers an edge for families who travel diverse road conditions, while the BlueCruise Equipped system and comprehensive airbag coverage reinforce its commitment to safety. The Explorer’s blend of advanced technology and flexible space makes it a compelling choice for families prioritizing both comfort and protection. Is third-row access easy for kids and adults?
