Cedar City Ford – Tow more and stress less on Santa Clara, UT roads with the 2025 Ford Explorer tech
Weekends fill up fast around red rock country — and that is exactly where the Explorer shines. When your plan calls for bikes, a small trailer, and a cabin full of friends, the standard Class III Trailer Tow Package rated up to 5,000 lbs. helps you bring more without adding complexity. Inside, technology like SYNC® 4 and a 5G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot keeps navigation, playlists, and updates at your fingertips, so the drive is as smooth as the destination is memorable.
What really sets the Explorer apart for active households is how effortlessly it adapts. One day it is a school shuttle, the next it is hauling gear to a race meet, and by Friday you are charting a route to the reservoir. Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist+ with Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane-Centering helps make the whole journey calmer, while available Connected Navigation gives you the confidence to reroute around delays with a quick voice prompt. It is capability and clarity working together — a better way to travel when everyone and everything needs a seat.
Families who want practical strength without losing refinement will appreciate how the Explorer combines its confident chassis with thoughtful cabin details. First Row Heated Seats take the chill off early starts, and the second and third rows fold flat to transform cargo space quickly when errands turn into projects. And because Alexa Built-in and FordPass® Connect integrate seamlessly, you can stay on task and in touch even when your plans change on the fly.
Consider this your quick-start guide to an easier weekend:
- Standard towing confidence: Every model includes a Class III Trailer Tow Package for up to 5,000 lbs., simplifying boat, camper, or utility trailer duty.
- Travel-friendly connectivity: A 5G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot supports streaming, schoolwork, and maps for passengers on every row.
- Advanced driver assistance: Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist+ with Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane-Centering helps dial down fatigue on longer drives.
- Voice-first control: SYNC® 4 and Alexa Built-in make route changes, calls, and reminders quick and hands-free.
- Flexible interior space: Seating for 7 and flat-folding rows let you switch from passengers to gear in minutes.
