2025 Ford Explorer ST: Who Says a Family SUV Has to Be Boring?
400 horsepower. Three rows of seating. All-wheel confidence. And an attitude that refuses to blend in.
Some vehicles are designed to get you where you're going. Others make you look forward to the drive.
The 2025 Ford Explorer ST is definitely the second kind.
For drivers who need the space and versatility of a family SUV but aren't ready to give up performance, style, and excitement, Ford has created something special.
And right now, Monadnock Ford has an exceptional 2025 Explorer ST available in stunning Carbonized Gray Metallic, with just 16,943 miles and an advertised price of $45,280.
This isn't your typical family SUV. It's a performance vehicle that just happens to have room for the whole family.
400 Horsepower. Because Sometimes Practical Should Be Fun.
Let's start with what makes the Explorer ST different from the ordinary SUV.
Under the hood sits Ford's impressive 3.0L EcoBoost twin-turbocharged V6 engine, delivering 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
That's serious performance for a three-row SUV.
Paired with a responsive 10-speed automatic transmission and intelligent four-wheel drive, the Explorer ST delivers confident acceleration, impressive passing power, and the kind of driving experience that makes every trip a little more interesting.
Whether you're merging onto Interstate 91, heading down Route 101, or enjoying the winding roads through the Monadnock Region, this Explorer makes driving something to look forward to.
And with an EPA-estimated 18 MPG city and 25 MPG highway, it balances its performance with everyday practicality.
Because having a family doesn't mean you have to stop enjoying the drive.
The ST Difference: More Than Just a Badge
The ST name means something at Ford.
It's reserved for vehicles designed to deliver a more engaging driving experience, with performance-inspired styling and engineering that goes beyond the standard model.
This 2025 Explorer ST makes that clear before you even start the engine.
Finished in Carbonized Gray Metallic, its aggressive front grille, sculpted body lines, athletic stance, and distinctive 21-inch Magnetite-painted aluminum wheels give it a presence that stands out.
It's sophisticated enough for a night out and sporty enough to remind you that this isn't just another SUV sitting in the school pickup line.
The Explorer ST doesn't need to shout for attention.
Its presence does the talking.
Luxury That Makes Every Drive Better
Step inside, and you'll discover that performance is only part of the story.
The Onyx interior offers a refined, driver-focused environment with premium materials, supportive sport seating, and technology designed to make life easier.
This particular Explorer ST is equipped with an impressive collection of comfort features, including:
-
Heated and ventilated Miko sport front captain's chairs

Remote start
Think about those cold New England mornings. A heated steering wheel, warm seats, and remote start can make the beginning of your day a whole lot more enjoyable.
And when summer arrives, ventilated front seats and independent climate controls help keep everyone comfortable.
It's the kind of vehicle that makes you appreciate the little things, whether you're driving five miles or five hundred.
Three Rows. Endless Possibilities.
One of the biggest advantages of the Explorer ST is that it doesn't ask you to choose between performance and practicality.
With three rows of seating, flexible cargo configurations, and a spacious cabin, there's room for family, friends, sports equipment, luggage, and whatever else life throws your way.
Need to take the kids to practice? No problem.
Planning a weekend in the White Mountains? Load it up.
Heading to the Vermont mountains for a winter getaway? The Explorer's four-wheel-drive system is ready to help you navigate changing road conditions.
And when you need additional cargo room, the folding rear seats make it easy to adapt the interior to your needs.
This is a vehicle that can handle Monday morning responsibilities and Saturday afternoon adventures without missing a beat.
Technology That Works With You
Ford understands that today's drivers expect more from their vehicles than just horsepower and comfortable seats.
The 2025 Explorer ST delivers with technology designed to keep you connected, informed, and confident behind the wheel.
From its navigation system and smartphone integration to adaptive cruise control, rearview camera, and advanced driver-assistance features, the Explorer offers useful technology for everyday driving.
And with FordPass Connect 5G capability, the Explorer is designed for today's connected lifestyle.
Whether you're commuting to work, navigating an unfamiliar city, or heading out on a family road trip, the technology is there to make the journey easier.
Why Buy a Pre-Owned 2025 Explorer ST?
Here's where this particular Explorer becomes especially interesting.
You're looking at a 2025 model with modern technology, impressive performance, premium amenities, and relatively low mileage — without having to purchase a brand-new vehicle.
And unlike a basic trim level, this is the performance-oriented ST, offering a combination of features that makes it especially appealing to drivers who want something more exciting than the typical family SUV.
