The Ford Explorer is a huge hit with families. The technology, the comfortable inside amenities, and the versatility and power make this a great choice. Read on for our 2025 Ford Explorer guide for the family.
Family-Friendly Seating
If you’ve got a family, you know how fast your needs can change. One day, you need room for up to seven passengers, and the next day you need plenty of cargo space. You can have it all with the Ford Explorer. There’s three rows of comfortable seating with an EX-Entry System where you just press a button and get yourself a simple path to the third-row bench seat.
Mom and Dad can stay comfortable up front with the 10-way, power-adjustable seat for the driver and four-way power-adjustable seat for the passenger. And when you need to haul cargo, just fold down that third row bench seat and go from 16.3 to 46.0 ft.³ of space. Need even more? Fold down the second row chairs and get 85.3 ft.³ of room for whatever you have to haul.
Cutting-Edge Tech
Tech is making those family trips faster and easier than ever. With Ford BlueCruise, you can relax a bit and enjoy the views – and your family – on 97% of North American highways with hands-free driving. As soon as you enter a Blue Zone, the car itself will alert you so you can activate the tech. BlueCruise then takes care of acceleration, braking, and even steering. You are still in control, however, and a driver-facing camera ensures that you’re prompted to keep your eyes on the road and remain ready to grab the wheel at any moment.
All the Mod Cons
No more complaints in the back seat when you’ve got tri-zone automatic temperature control! Mom and Dad are also going to love how all four doors can be accessed with a push of a button, push button start, and all the USB ports. If you want more, there’s also a wealth of available features you can choose from. You might like ambient lighting, front parking sensors, wireless charging, a universal garage door opener, or remote start for those cold (or hot) days.
Infotainment System
One of the big upgrades to the 2025 Explorer is a new, and huge, high-resolution touchscreen. With a screen that clocks in at 13.2 inches, you get amazing clarity to go with all your premium features, like SiriusXM with 360L, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, a 5G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, and connection to FordPass Connect on your mobile phone.
There’s a lot more to see in the Explorer, and we’d love to show it to you. Stop by Zeigler Ford Plainwell, MI today.
