    All-New Trims: Hybrid and ST

    As part of the redesign, Explorer now offers two all-new high-powered trims. The athletic look of Explorer ST is more than sheet metal-deep. It’s matched by a powerful 400-hp11 engine, a sport-tuned suspension and driving dynamics engineered by the Ford Performance team. The Explorer Hybrid packs a similar punch; It’s a no-compromise hybrid SUV that’s engineered for big adventures. Not only can it tow 5,000 pounds but it’s also fully off-road capable.

(2,540 kg), when properly equipped, the Explorer won’t be slowed down, not even if you have a hefty camper in tow.
