What is new on the 2027 Ford Explorer?
The latest Ford Explorer debuts new features packages (the ST Sinister Package, 3.0L Ultimate Package, and Ford Security Package) and exterior colors (Avalanche Gray and Ruby Red). Plus, there’s a new version of the trail-friendly Tremor that comes standard with a longer list of features, including the Explorer’s 400-horsepower engine upgrade.
Availability for some features has also changed. For example, the classy Platinum trim model is once again available with the 3.0-liter engine upgrade. Last year’s fixed-glass roof is no longer available, but the Panoramic Vista Roof (with a power shade) rejoins the options list.
What’s included with the Explorer Platinum’s new 3.0L Ultimate Package?
The new 3.0L Ultimate Package adds style and luxury items to the already well-equipped Explorer Platinum trim. It includes the contents of the Lux Leather Package, like premium leather seating and quilted door trim. Outside, 21-inch Dark Alloy wheels and quad chrome exhaust tips give your SUV an aggressive look. The package is automatically included when you upgrade your Platinum with the 400-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine.
How’s the 2027 Ford Explorer’s tech setup?
Excellent. Unsurprisingly, the new 2027 Explorer comes standard with an excellent list of infotainment gear. Edmunds calls its cutting-edge, Google-based Ford Digital Experience infotainment system “snappy and easy to navigate.” Every Explorer comes with both a 12.3-inch instrument display and a 13.2-inch central touchscreen, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
Which driver safety aids are included on the 2027 Ford Explorer?
Every version of Ford’s three-row midsize SUV comes standard with an all-encompassing list of safety aids.

Blind-spot assist comes in handy when you’re switching lanes in this sizable SUV. If necessary, Ford’s lane-keeping assist system gently guides you back into the correct lane.
