2022 Ford Explorer Review

Explorer Trim Levels: Tailored to Your Needs

One of the biggest changes to the 2022 iteration of the Ford Explorer is in its trim level lineup. For starters, the ST trim will now be standardly equipped with rear-wheel drive since not every driver needs extra traction and control.

However, if you’re looking to take your adventures off the beaten path, you’ll want to upgrade to available 4-wheel drive. It sends power to all four wheels to help you have the supreme traction needed to take on heavy snow, rocky roads, and muddy treks.

No matter which drivetrain appeals to you, you’ll still be treated to the same 400-horsepower engine this trim level currently offers.

The New ST-Line

Looking to really make a splash in the carpool lane or at a new campsite? Then, you’ll want to check out the newest Ford Explorer trim level, the ST-Line. It’s powered by the trusted 300-horsepower baseline 2.3L EcoBoost® motor with a few special exterior style features:

• 20-inch machined aluminum wheels
• Blacked-out grille
• Fascia-integrated dual exhaust tips
• Unique black-out treatment for headlamps and taillamps

The interior is also given an upgrade with Ebony Black ActiveX™-trimmed seat with Miko inserts and standout red stitching found throughout. As you enjoy the premium style the 2022 Ford Explorer ST-Line has to offer, you’ll also have a cozy journey with amenities, like heated front-row seats and a heated steering wheel.

Interior Upgrades Your Sure to Love

In addition to these trim level enhancements, you’ll find the Technology Package standard on the King Ranch and Platinum trims. It widens the entertainment system to a 10.1-inch touchscreen, so you can easily choose your desired listening experience.

As you sit back and enjoy your favorite tunes through the 14-speaker B&O™ sound system by Bang & Olufsen®, multicontour seats will provide an isolated massage that melts any tension from the workday away.
