The Base model is equipped with standard features such as a power liftgate, 18-inch alloy wheels, and LED headlights. While the XLT trim level adds roof rails and heated mirrors. With the ST-Line trim level, you'll find sportier styling with dark-tinted headlights, rain-sensing windshield wipers, power-folding mirrors, and a black grille. The off-road-ready Timberline has all-terrain tires, front tow hooks, and skid plates. A Limited trim level is also available, which features such as a hands-free liftgate, modern chrome exterior trim, and 20-inch wheels. The ST offers quad exhausts, while the King Ranch Explorer offers approach lighting. The top-of-the-line Platinum has satin aluminum trim and 21-inch polished wheels.

You'll have three engine options depending on which Ford Explorer you purchase.
