2027 Ford Explorer Trim Level Breakdown & Specs
From practical family daily drivers to high-output twin-turbo performance models and trail-ready rigs, the 2027 Ford Explorer lineup gives NWA drivers distinct personalities to match their driving needs.
| 2027 Explorer Trim | Powertrain & Performance | Key Standard Features & Interior Highlights |

Choosing the Ideal Powertrain for Ozark Driving
Selecting the right engine for your 2027 Ford Explorer comes down to how you plan to use your 3-row SUV. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® four-cylinder punches well above its weight with 300 horsepower, making it ideal for daily NWA fuel economy while maintaining full 5,000-lb max towing capability. However, if you frequently haul heavy loads over Ozark mountain grades or desire sports-car throttle response on the highway, opting for the 400-horsepower twin-turbo 3.0L V6 (standard on ST, available on Tremor and Platinum) provides instant passing power.
Expert Tip: You don’t need to step up to the high-output V6 engine just to max out your boat or camper towing. When properly equipped with Ford’s standard Class III hitch and 4-/7-pin wiring harness, the 2.3L EcoBoost® engine achieves the exact same 5,000-lb maximum tow rating as the 3.0L V6!
