The 2025 Ford Explorer is a family-friendly SUV with plenty of technology to keep your passengers entertained and excellent fuel economy and performance. We’re going to dive in and look at some of its many highlights.

Powerful, Economical Engines

The standard engine is a 2.3L Turbocharged Direct-Injection Ti-VCT EcoBoost I-4. It produces 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, and is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Depending on your trim, the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with Auto Start-Stop Technology is available, providing 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. It’s also paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission as standard, but you can opt for the 10-speed shiftable automatic transmission, which includes manual shift paddles.

EcoBoost engines are well-known for their enhanced performance and improved fuel efficiency despite being smaller than regular engines. This is made possible by three technologies: turbocharging, direct-fuel injection, and variable camshaft timing. These technologies increase airflow to the engine for faster and more powerful burning, as well as more precise combustion and valve intake and exhaust operation.

Crowned the North American Truck of the Year for its performance, innovation, safety, and design, the 2025 Ford Ranger remains the best pick for midsize pickup buyers. Its big-truck strength and durability make tough jobs feel effortless, while its tastefully crafted cabin proves hard work and refined comfort can coexist.

Robust Power

The Ranger is game for any challenge with its trio of high-output engines. Kickstarting the lineup is the 2.3-liter turbo-four that delivers a nice balance of power and efficiency. It generates 270 HP and 310 pound-feet of torque, allowing you to enjoy the maximum 7,500-pound towing capacity and near 1,800-pound payload rating, without upgrading to a bigger engine. It also boasts the best fuel economy in the lineup, achieving 26 MPG on the highway, making it perfect for almost everyone.

The next level of power is a brawny 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6, with up to 315 HP and 400 pound-feet of torque. And while it still does the same payload and towing numbers as the turbo-four, it does so with greater ease, making every load feel lighter and every climb smoother. The final boss, a ferocious 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with a whopping 405 HP and 430 pound-feet of torque, is reserved for the off-road performance machine that is the Ranger Raptor.

When your car enters a curve at night, traditional headlights may fail to fully illuminate the road ahead. With Ford Adaptive Headlights, you don’t have this problem; your headlights detect the curve and swivel to optimize your visibility. 

How Adaptive Headlights Work

While driving at night, you only have clear visibility inside the cones of light cast ahead by your headlamps. Anything outside this lit area is in darkness, which is fine when the road is straight and easily illuminated. However, when the road curves or you corner, you’re about to enter that dark patch to the left or right, and you need to see it clearly. 

This is where adaptive headlights help. Rather than being fixed in place, the headlight harness can swivel. Using a sensor in your steering wheel, the headlights swivel in the same direction to the same degree, which lights up the area of road you’re moving into. At the same time, the headlight on the outside of the curve may shorten its beam length, while the inside beam lengthens for even better illumination of the curving road.

Ford’s ruggedly capable truck lineup is legendary. These advanced workhorses regularly lead their respective segments, offering a pickup to meet all driving needs. If you want a city-friendly truck that can effortlessly navigate urban environments, the 2025 Ford Maverick is the way to go.

1. Compact and Nimble Design

The Maverick is basically designed for cities. Ford has taken elements from larger stablemates like the mid-size Ranger or the full-size F-150 and incorporated them into a tight, compact package. The base-level XL trim measures just 199.8 inches from tip to tail and is only 72.6 inches wide, meaning you have a high-quality Ford pickup that you can easily maneuver around the bustling downtown streets.

The compact truck bed measures just 54.4 inches long and 53.3 inches wide, but intelligent Ford design maximizes the utility of this efficient frame. Ford’s FLEXBED system lets you cleverly and conveniently organize and secure your gear however you see fit, with slots allowing you to partition the truck bed into sections and clever solutions like concealed side compartments for valuables, depending on trim and optional packages.

Your car’s engine requires a steady supply of fuel to function properly. Without regular Ford fuel system maintenance, you’ll soon experience misfires and stalling. Follow these steps to keep your fuel system healthy and your engine fault-free. 

Clean the Fuel Injectors

The fuel injectors spray gas into each cylinder in a precisely controlled mist. Carbon deposits, dirt, rust, and other debris can gradually clog these injectors, which eventually restricts fuel delivery. It’s therefore important to have your fuel injectors routinely cleaned.
