The ST-Line is best for those who prioritize a sporty, street-focused look and feel, while the Active suits those who need more off-road capability and practicality.
All explorers have the same 4wd system. These two explorers have the same ground clearance, wheel size and tires. There is no off road benefit between the two. What you get with the st line is a sportier look vs. a more utilitarian look and more standard features.
I seriously looked at leasing 2025 Ford Explorer ST-Line, but the Lease rates are ridiculous compared to competitor models (Telluride, Palisade, etc.).... The Explorer was about $110 more per month than the other competitor SUV's who are equally priced with same/more features .... It's unfortunate because I really liked the ST-line
Well explained. Thanks for the amazing content.
Glad you liked it!
Love the new tail lights !
I hear ya!
Excellent, great review
Appreciate the support!
Thanks for watching
Excellent comparison. ST-Line is looking great. Can't wait for the Timberline edition for 2026?
Nice!!! Thank you for the support!
Looks like it will be tremor instead of timberline.

Everything is increased and overpriced. I snicker bar at Home Depot is 3 dollars.
Can you add towing package on the Active?
Side note: Folsom Lake dealership is pretty awesome. Used to live in the area for 12+ years.
Yes I believe you can. Nice, it’s a great area. Tell them we sent you if you buy from them 😅
Tow package is standard on all explorers for 2025
For the baseline model, Explorer Active is a pretty decent car.
Yea. For an entry level trim I have to say there is quite a lot they offer.
Can u get St line and bench seat?
I don’t believe you can.
