      2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line 4WD

      The Ford Explorer ST-Line brings the sporty aesthetic of the high-performance ST model to a highly efficient and well-equipped 4WD platform. This Explorer is equipped with 4WD, making it a compelling choice for Northern Arizona drivers who want the versatility of a three-row SUV for changing weather, family road trips, and outdoor recreation. The factory specification also includes a Class III Trailer Tow Package and Trailer Sway Control.

      2.3L EcoBoost I-4 Engine and 4WD Capability

      Under the hood is a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a 4WD drivetrain. This Explorer is built for families and travelers who need confident acceleration and all-weather capability. It includes Selectable Drive Modes to adapt to varying road conditions, returning an EPA-estimated 20 MPG city and 27 MPG highway.

      20-Inch Machined Aluminum Wheels and ST-Line Styling

      One of the most noticeable upgrades on this Explorer is the factory 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted pockets. The factory equipment includes these 20-inch wheels wrapped in P255/55R20 All-Season tires, which was a $200 factory option. Combined with the Space White Metallic exterior, unique ST-Line badging, and a black mesh grille insert, this Explorer features a substantially more aggressive and modern appearance than a standard midsize SUV.

      Premium ST-Line Interior and Technology

      Inside, this 2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line features a highly upgraded cabin designed for long-distance comfort and everyday connectivity. Factory equipment includes:

      • Onyx Unique Cloth interior with Red Stitch Accents
      • 2nd Row Captain's Chairs ($400 option)
      • 13.2-inch LCD Touchscreen and 12.3-inch LCD Digital Cluster
      • Ford Digital Experience with Google Maps & Play Store
      • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
      • B&O Sound System with 10 Speakers
      • Premium Leather-Wrapped Heated Steering Wheel
      • Front Row Heated Seats and Power Front Seats
      • Remote Start System and Wi-Fi Hotspot

      The combination of Captain's Chairs, expansive digital displays, and the B&O Sound System makes the Explorer ST-Line particularly useful for families spending long periods on the road.

      BlueCruise Equipment and Ford Safety

      This Explorer ST-Line includes a substantial collection of safety and driver-assistance equipment, highlighted by Ford's BlueCruise technology. Features include:

      • BlueCruise Equipment (1-Year + 90-Day Plan included)
      • 360-Degree Camera
      • AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC)
      • Driver, Passenger, and Safety Canopy Airbags
      • Individual Tire Pressure Monitoring System
      • Perimeter Alarm and SOS Post-Crash Alert System

      Space White Metallic 2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line

      • 20-inch machined aluminum wheels
      • Power Liftgate
      • Black roof-rack side rails
      • Auto LED Headlamps and LED Taillamps/Fog Lamps
      • 'Explorer' hood badging

      • Variable interval wipers

      Built for Flagstaff and Northern Arizona

      A Ford Explorer 4WD is particularly well suited to drivers who regularly travel across Northern Arizona and need three rows of seating alongside confident traction. Whether you're driving around Flagstaff, running the family to Sedona, or heading toward the Grand Canyon, the Explorer provides the space and technology expected from a leading family SUV. The 4WD drivetrain, trailer tow package, Selectable Drive Modes, and premium interior make the ST-Line equally appropriate for school runs and cross-country road trips.

        Love it.

        by Alex on 8/9/2026 11:55:02 PM

        Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise.
