The 2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line in Star White Metallic Tri-Coat delivers a perfect blend of athletic styling and refined sophistication. Powered by a responsive 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and 4WD, it offers confident acceleration and smooth performance across a range of driving conditions.
Its exterior is bold and performance-inspired, defined by the ST-Line Street Pack that features red-painted performance brake calipers, 21-inch Magnetite-painted aluminum wheels, and sleek body lines that emphasize the SUVs dynamic stance. The Star White Metallic Tri-Coat finish enhances its premium look, while the modern lighting elements and sculpted details give it a commanding presence on the road.
Inside, the Explorer ST-Line surrounds you with sporty sophistication. The cabin is appointed with Onyx leather-trimmed seats featuring perforated inserts and contrast stitching, along with ambient interior lighting that creates a refined atmosphere. The heated front and second-row seats, along with a heated steering wheel, provide comfort in all seasons, while the memory drivers seat ensures a personalized driving experience every time. The panoramic fixed glass roof with power shade fills the interior with natural light, adding to the open and inviting feel.
Advanced technology is seamlessly integrated throughout, including the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen for immersive audio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for effortless smartphone connectivity, and a navigation system for intuitive guidance. The power liftgate and rain-sensing wipers add everyday convenience, and the 110V/150W AC power outlet ensures passengers can easily power their devices on the go.
With its balance of striking design, advanced technology, and engaging performance, the 2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line stands out as a modern SUV built for those who want everyday practicality with an unmistakably sporty edge.

Transmission
By Bruce Potter on Monday, February 27, 2023
Transmission broke at 17000 took 3 months to get parts for rebuild, defrost strips coming off rear glass, replaced , fix rear camera twice, cracked catalytic converter left side, be nice car if I could keep it out of shop. So warranty has covered everything. Fun to drive, impressed with performance. - 1.0
Another hacked together vehicle at a high cost
By AGlover on Tuesday, July 05, 2022
Started with paneling popping off at Less than 5k miles, then the window became stuck in the down position, 2 hours at the dealer from them to just get it back up and tell us the post won’t be in for awhile, now the radio isn’t working. Every mechanical malfunction came with Parts that were scorching hot to the touch when trying to troubleshoot. It’s at 11500 miles, owned since March and have regretted it since. - 4.0
3rd Explorer and still happy
By NoHo on Wednesday, September 08, 2021
This is my third Explorer and I still love it. I drive about 25,000 a year with a heavy foot and typically drive my cars to the ground. In 4 months I’ve owned it, I already put 12,000 miles and fortunately zero issues, it’s swerving capabilities are still good, I enjoy the assisted driving, the sound from the speakers are clean and clear. It’s actually pretty quiet.
