Amazing Performance

The first thing to note about the 2022 Ford Explorer ST-Line is the power under the hood. This trim is perfect for drivers that want a decent amount of power. It comes with the turbocharged 2.3L 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine, which delivers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque.

You’ll also be able to count on smooth shifting due to the 10-speed automatic transmission, which comes standard. The standard rear-wheel drive maximizes your performance, though you can also opt for the available intelligent four-wheel drive.

Are you interested in going on a road trip? Perhaps you’re heading to D.C. or just heading to Chincoteague for a weekend away. No matter where you’re heading, having a great fuel economy is a must. With the ST-Line, you’ll certainly be impressed. This model has an EPA-estimated 20 city/28 highway MPG rating.

Interior: Three Rows

What makes the ST-Line so unique? Well, it has a very stylish interior. You’ll find ActiveX™-trimmed seats with Miko® inserts, as well as bold red accent stitching. In the second row, you’ll find captain's chairs, while the third row has a foldable bench seat.

When it comes to comfort, passengers will also enjoy:

  • Standard heated front seats
