New Ford Explorer For Sale - St. Louis, MO

The current Explorer lineup has five trims: Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum and ST. Active is the value pick with the core tech. ST-Line adds a sportier look. Tremor is the off road focused version with standard Intelligent 4WD. Platinum leans into comfort and luxury features, and ST is the performance model with the twin turbo V6. Check the inventory above to see which trims we have on the lot right now.

Explorer offers two EcoBoost engines. A 2.3L EcoBoost four cylinder is standard on Active, ST-Line, Tremor and Platinum. A 3.0L twin turbo EcoBoost V6 is standard on ST and available on Tremor and Platinum. Ford does not list a hybrid Explorer in the current lineup. If you split time between I-55 commuting and weekend trips, a test drive of both engines is the easiest way to decide.

Explorer seats six or seven depending on how it is configured. Second row captain's chairs are standard, and a second row bench is available on every trim except Tremor if you need the seventh seat. The third row works well for kids and shorter trips for adults. PowerFold third row seats are standard on Platinum and ST and available on Tremor, so you can fold them from the cargo area.

Yes. BlueCruise is Ford's hands free highway driving system for prequalified sections of divided highway, and it comes equipped on Explorer Platinum and ST. It is available on other trims depending on packages. Ford also lists Automatic Lane Change as part of BlueCruise. A trial or plan period is typically included with a new purchase and continued use requires a paid plan, so ask us how it works on the SUV you pick.

It is the Explorer's main infotainment system on the large center touchscreen. Google built in puts Google Maps with live traffic and Google Assistant voice control right in the dash, and you can sign in to pull over your saved destinations. You can also download apps from Google Play and save driver profiles for seat, steering wheel and mirror settings. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard too.

Plenty of Explorer owners tow small boats, pop up campers and utility trailers. The real limit depends on engine, drivetrain and equipment, so check the trailer rating for the specific SUV on ford.com or the label in the door jamb before you hook up. Ford lists a Class III tow package plus Trailer Sway Control and Side Wind Stabilization. Bring your trailer weight and our team will match you to the right setup.

Tremor is built for that kind of driving. It comes with standard Intelligent 4WD, an off road tuned suspension with extra ride height, all terrain tires, a Torsen limited slip rear axle, auxiliary lights and underbody deflector plates. It is not a rock crawler, but for Mark Twain National Forest gravel roads, muddy campgrounds and snowy hills around St. Louis it gives you a lot more confidence than a standard trim.

Intelligent 4WD is available on Active, ST-Line, Platinum and ST and standard on Tremor. It sends power where traction is needed, and Explorer includes selectable drive modes like Slippery for icy mornings. For the snow and freezing rain that hit South County most winters, a 4WD Explorer with a good set of tires is a solid choice. Ask us about winter tire packages through our parts department.

All four are three row SUVs, but they go about it differently. Explorer rides on a rear wheel drive based platform with available 4WD, offers a twin turbo V6 and has a performance ST and an off road Tremor in the lineup, which the others handle differently. We put together a side by side comparison page on our site so you can check the details for yourself before a test drive.

Each Explorer in the inventory feed on this page shows its live price, and that number reflects the trim, engine and packages on that specific SUV. Current Ford rebates and store offers show on our new specials page. If you are an employee of a qualifying company, a Ford employee or friend, or a military member or first responder, ask whether X Plan, A/Z Plan or our appreciation programs apply.

It depends on how long you keep vehicles and how much you drive. Leasing usually means a lower monthly payment and a new SUV every few years, with mileage limits. Financing builds ownership and lets you keep the Explorer as long as you like, which pairs well with Warranty Forever on qualifying purchases. We work with Ford Credit and other lenders, and our payment calculators let you compare both before you come in.

Start with the online trade value tool on our site or the text me my trade value option for a quick estimate. The final offer comes after we look at the vehicle in person, since condition, miles and history all matter. Your trade value can go toward the down payment, which lowers what you finance. If you still owe on your current vehicle, we handle the payoff as part of the deal.

Yes. If the color, trim or package combination you want is not in stock, we can place a custom factory order with Ford for you. Wait times change with production schedules and the build you choose, so we give you a realistic update when you order and keep you posted on status. Many buyers order an Explorer when they want a specific color plus a package like the twin turbo V6.

Qualifying new Explorers we sell include it at no extra cost, and it follows the SUV for as long as you own it. Families tend to keep an Explorer well past the factory powertrain warranty, which is where this program matters most. The main rule is simple: stay on the maintenance schedule at a licensed facility, keep the records, and call before any outside service so it is preauthorized.

Our service center on South Lindbergh handles oil changes, tires, brakes and repairs for Explorer owners, and you can book online. For select maintenance, Mobile Service sends a Ford technician to your home or office. Ford Pickup and Delivery can take your Explorer to our shop and bring it back when the work is done. If an accident happens, our Certified Collision body shop is right on site.
