2027 Ford Explorer Power and Performance
Rear-Wheel Drive and Intelligent 4WD
Drivetrain availability is straightforward across the 2027 Explorer lineup:
| Model | Standard drivetrain | Available drivetrain |
| Active | Rear-wheel drive | Intelligent 4WD |
| ST-Line | Rear-wheel drive | Intelligent 4WD |
| Tremor | Intelligent 4WD | — |
| Platinum | Rear-wheel drive | Intelligent 4WD |
| ST | Rear-wheel drive | Intelligent 4WD |
For drivers regularly using Canterbury’s rural roads, these choices let you include Intelligent 4WD without limiting your search to Tremor.
Selectable drive modes include Normal, Eco, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Slippery. Depending on the drivetrain and model, the sixth mode is Trail or Off-Road.
Standard Trailer Tow Equipment
Every 2027 Explorer trim includes a Class III Trailer Tow Package and can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped.
The package includes a Class III hitch receiver, a seven-wire harness, and four- and seven-pin trailer connectors. Tow/Haul mode and Trailer Sway Control support trailering, with the latter working through the vehicle’s stability-control system.
Actual towing capability depends on vehicle configuration, passengers, cargo, accessories, and equipment. Check the specific vehicle and trailer requirements, including the appropriate hitch components and any required trailer-brake equipment.
Two EcoBoost Engines
Both Explorer engines pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
| Engine | Output | Model availability |
| 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 | 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque | Standard on Active, ST-Line, Tremor, and Platinum |
| 3.0L twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 | Up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque | Standard on ST; available on Tremor and Platinum |
Ratings are achieved using premium fuel. V6 horsepower varies by emissions configuration.
The 2.3L engine handles daily-driving and family-travel duties, while the V6 adds performance for shoppers who want more power. ST pairs that engine with suspension and braking equipment tailored to its sporting character.
2027 Ford Explorer Seating and Cargo Space
Six Seats or Seven?
Standard second-row captain’s chairs give every Explorer a six-passenger layout. An available second-row bench increases capacity to seven on Active, ST-Line, Platinum, and ST. Tremor retains its six-passenger configuration.
For families balancing pickups at Tilton School with the rest of the week’s travel, the decision comes down to how often that seventh seat will be occupied and which second-row arrangement passengers prefer.
Second-row captain’s chairs include E-Z Entry functionality to help passengers reach the third row. PowerFold third-row seats are standard on Platinum and ST and available on Tremor.
Cargo Room for Different Passenger Loads
Explorer’s folding rear seats let you adjust cargo space around the people coming along.
| Seating arrangement | Cargo volume |
| Behind the third row | 16.3 cubic feet |
| With the third row folded | 46 cubic feet |
| With both rear rows folded — Active and ST-Line | Up to 85.8 cubic feet |
| With both rear rows folded — Tremor, Platinum, and ST | Up to 85.3 cubic feet |
Passenger and cargo capacity depend on seating configuration. Maximum cargo space requires the rear rows to be folded.
For Belmont grocery runs, consider how much space you need with passengers aboard. Folding the third row provides more room for a larger load while leaving the second row available for seating.
