The 2027 Ford Explorer ST-Line is an SUV designed to fit the needs of modern families, offering three rows of seating, easy rear-row access, and flexible cargo space for everything from strollers to sports equipment.
This SUV suits growing families, particularly those balancing school runs, weekend getaways, and daily commutes around the rd St. Homewood, IL area. Parents will appreciate the heated front seats and heated steering wheel for comfort during colder months, while the panoramic Vista Roof with Power Shade brings natural light into every row, enhancing the ride for children and adults alike. The Explorerâs third-row bench seating is ideal for accommodating friends or additional family members, making it a strong choice for households where flexibility is a daily requirement. Tech-forward amenities like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto ensure everyone stays connected, while rear air conditioning keeps the entire cabin comfortable.
The Explorerâs 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission produces smooth, responsive acceleration even with a full cabin. Four-wheel independent suspension and 4WD provide a confident, stable ride whether navigating city streets or heading out for a family road trip. The SUVâs power steering and speed-sensing steering allow for easy maneuverability in tight parking lots or busy school zones, while an EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 27 MPG highway fuel economy ensures fewer stops at the pump during longer journeys. Quiet highway cruising and a composed ride add to passenger comfort on extended drives.
Peace of mind is central to this vehicleâs design, with a suite of active safety features prioritizing protection for every family member. The Explorer is equipped with dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Advanced systems like ABS brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and brake assist help the driver maintain control in challenging conditions. The rearview parking camera, auto high-beam headlights, and emergency communication system (911 Assist) make daily driving and parking safer, while the LATCH system and rear-seat occupant sensing airbag enhance safety for car seats and young passengers.
Families benefit from a host of premium features and packages geared toward comfort and convenience. The heated Unique Cloth Captainâs Chairs and power-adjustable driver and passenger seats make long trips more relaxing, while the Premium Package adds upscale amenities. The Panoramic Vista Roof with Power Shade delivers an open, airy feel throughout the cabin. Entertainment is covered by the B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen and SiriusXM with 360L, keeping everyone entertained during commutes or road trips. The Explorer also features rear air conditioning, navigation, and a hands-free power liftgate for effortless cargo access.
Compared to other three-row SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the Explorer ST-Line stands out for its sporty styling and active lifestyle focus.
How many car seats fit in the back? The Explorerâs third-row bench and split-folding rear seat design accommodate multiple car seats, ensuring room for young children and older siblings alike. Is there a rear-seat reminder system? The occupant sensing airbag provides an extra layer of awareness for families.

Love it.
by Alex on 8/9/2026 11:55:02 PM
Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise. - 5.0
