Why the 2027 Explorer Makes Sense Here
Excelsior Springs sits in a part of Missouri where drivers can move from historic downtown streets to highways, neighborhoods, hills, two-lane roads and open countryside in a relatively short drive.
That mix makes a midsize three-row SUV especially useful. Explorer gives families passenger space and cargo flexibility without moving all the way up to the size of a full-size Expedition.
The lineup also gives local drivers unusually different personalities to choose from. You can stay focused on everyday family value with Active, choose the sporty appearance of ST-Line, add real off-road capability with Tremor, prioritize comfort with Platinum or step up to the performance-oriented ST.
