The 2025 Explorer ditched two colors that were previously available on the 2024 Ford Explorer: Forged Green Metallic (L9) and Stone Blue Metallic (C8). The former was first introduced for the 2021 model year before its discontinuation, while the latter had been around since the 2022 model year.
The 2025 Ford Explorer boasts quite a few revisions as part of its mid-cycle update. As far as its exterior, it receives a revamped front fascia front fascia, along with its headlight and rear fascia. Inside, it gains more front-row row legroom, along with new features such as like new soft touch surfaces, Ford Digital Experience software, and a standard 13.2-inch infotainment screen.
Production of the 2025 Explorer continues at the Chicago Assembly plant, where operations have been in full swing since May 2024. Pricing starts at $40,050 for the new base Active trim, and it’s worth noting that certain trims are actually more affordable than the outgoing 2024 model year.
