Introduced by Ford in 1990, the Explorer was the brand’s first four-door SUV. The vehicle was intended to replace the Bronco II and, at the same time, serve as a much better competitor to the Jeep Cherokee and Chevy S-10 Blazer. Ford later added a four-door layout to the lineup to increase sales by appealing to family buyers.
Currently, in its sixth generation, the Ford Explorer is one of the all-time best-selling SUVs in America, and the Blue Oval expects the new updated model to continue that lineage. To that end, Ford has packed the new Explorer with loads of exciting features, safety improvements, and much more.
The 2021 Ford Explorer is the perfect mid-size SUV for the average American family. With three rows of seating that you can trade for a bigger boot, you are unlikely to run out of storage space any time soon.
Although most owners will only use the Explorer on paved roads, Ford has left no stone unturned to make sure it is fully capable of doing what it was made for: exploring the outdoors.
2021 Ford Explorer Trims and Features
Ford has tried to attract a wide range of customers with the available trims. Each model appeals to a specific group of people, starting from a spartan base model going all the way up to the sporty ST, off-road-oriented Timberline grades, and the premium Platinum model.
2021 Ford Explorer – Base Model
Starting price: $32,925
Even in standard form, the 2021 Ford Explorer comes generously equipped with crucial convenience and safety features. The base model is not cheap by any means, but it has enough equipment for those on a tight budget.
Powertrain
The new Explorer’s base model gets a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that produces 300 hp at 5500 rpm and 310 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm. Power goes exclusively to the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic transmission. There is also an option to have your new Explorer with Ford’s Intelligent 4-wheel-drive system that varies power to each wheel depending on traction levels.
Buyers opting for the 4WD system will also get additional features. Notably, the hill descent control system helps when going downhill, while the terrain management system with seven preset driving modes provides traction when things get tough.
Interior
The Explorer’s interior consists of three-row seating with a capacity of up to 7 passengers. It has cloth upholstered seats with front seats in bucket form. The second row is a 35/30/35 split-fold-flat bench seat, while the third row comes with a manual 50/50 split-fold bench seat.
The infotainment system includes an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. The system also uses a 6-speaker setup with MP3 and AM/FM capability.
The interior on this base model may not be overly pleasing. Still, it does have some impressive features such as tri-zone climate control, WiFi connectivity for up to 10 devices, an air filtration system, rear-view camera, reverse sensing system, and keyless entry, among other things.
Convenience features include cargo hooks, map lights for all three rows, capless fuel filler, black carpet floor mats for the first two rows, a front-row center console with armrest and storage bin, black “EXPLORER” branded scuff plates, five 12V power points, and three passenger grab handles.
Exterior
The base Explorer comes with several desirable exterior features. These include auto high beams, LED tail lamps, black door handles, chrome liftgate appliqué, body-color rear spoiler, and manual-folding power glass molded-black mirrors. You also get a power liftgate and black rear bumper step-pad.
With a choice of four exterior paint options, such as Agate Black, Iconic Silver, Carbonized Gray, and Oxford White, this model has a very restricted color palette. Furthermore, privacy glass for the liftgate, second, and the third row is standard on all trims.
This model comes in 18-inch painted aluminum alloy wheels fitted to all-season BSW tires as standard with no room for upgrades.
Safety features
Probably the most important thing about a brand-new car is the level of safety equipment. We are pleased to report that Ford has cut no corners with the 2021 Explorer.
The SUV comes with Ford’s AdvanceTrac system with Roll Stability Control (RSC), a feature that aids the driver in maintaining control over the vehicle even when driving on slippery surfaces.
Meanwhile, the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tether Anchors for Children) system ensures that child seats in the second and third-row are firmly and securely mounted onto the right points.
The Explorer has special airbags for the front passenger’s knee and side-curtain airbags that protect the heads of outboard passengers. The SOS Post-Crash Alert System will activate the vehicle’s horn and lights to gather attention after an accident.
Also fitted as standard is Ford’s Co-Pilot 360 Assist system; it is a driver aid system loaded with adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assist, blind spot information system, lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and auto high-beam headlamps.
Fuel efficiency
The EPA estimates this model to run at 27mpg city and 29mpg highway; that is not too bad for a mid-size SUV that weighs 4,345 lbs. Buyers opting for a four-wheel-drive model should expect to see a slight drop in these estimates.
Pricing
The 2021 Ford Explorer base model starts at $32,225 before additional charges like destination fees, etc.
Ford also offers a handful of optional extras; major options include the 4WD upgrade for around $2,000 and a Class III trailer tow package for $545. Other minor options include floor liners with mats for $200, a cargo area management system for $165, cargo mats for $150, the smoker’s pack costing $70, an engine block heater for $90, and $160 splash guards.
There are also several leasing offers available for all Explorer models, but they differ from region to region. We would suggest you contact your nearest Ford dealer for more information.
2021 Ford Explorer XLT
Starting price: $35,075
Powertrain
There is no change in the XLT model when it comes to the powertrain setup. It uses the same 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine from the base trim. Also, like the previous model, it uses a 10-speed automatic transmission paired with the standard two-wheel-drive setup with an optional Intelligent 4WD.
Like the base model, customers opting for the 4WD upgrade also get hill descent control and a comprehensive terrain management system.
Interior
Naturally, the XLT model comes with more options for the interior. The seats are wrapped in a unique cloth material available in two shades as standard. At the same time, customers can pay to upgrade to Ford’s ActiveX seating material range and choose from three different finishes.
As standard, the second row on the XLT trim gets a 1+1 captain seat configuration, while a 35/30/35 bench seating with E-Z entry is an optional extra. The second row also gets a small console area that you can use for storing water bottles or tablets; this feature is only available with captain seats.
Furthermore, the XLT model has front row heated seats, while a heated steering wheel is optional for the 202A equipment package. A twin-panel moon roof is also an optional extra.
Other interior features meant to improve convenience include an intelligent access system that allows keyless entry on all four doors and a push-button start system.
On the infotainment front, there is little change compared to the base model; however, the second row gets two USB charging ports, while a voice-activated navigation system is optional. Ford also offers an optional headrest-mounted entertainment system for rear-seat passengers.
Exterior
This trim adds LED signature lighting, body-colored door handles, chrome body cladding, and black roof rack side rails. The power glass side mirrors are still manual-folding but with heating. Besides, customers can add a silver-painted skid plate with integrated lights and LED fog lamps when selecting the 202A equipment package.
The XLT model also adds five more exterior body paint options – Stone Gray, Atlas Blue, Rapid Red, Star White, and Infinite Blue.
The Explorer XLT features an 18-inch aluminum sparkle-silver alloys shade as standard with the same all-season tires as the base model. However, buyers can go with either the 20-inch premium painted aluminum or a carbonized gray 10-spoke design. Upgrading to a larger size would also require different tires; interestingly, Ford will let you choose between regular or self-sealing all-season tires.
Safety features
While there are no standard additions in driver aids for the XLT model, the car’s security system does get an upgrade. New features include a perimeter alarm that activates by sounding the horn and flashing hazards when the locked car’s doors, hood, or tailgate are opened by force.
The XLT also includes Ford’s SecuriCode keyless entry system that allows owners to access their vehicles by putting in a preset code in the keypad present in the driver’s side door.
Buyers can also choose to upgrade the Co-Pilot 360 Assist safety system to Co-Pilot 360 Assist+; the upgrade comes with adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane centering, and speed sign recognition functionality in addition to evasive steering assist, and a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system.
Fuel efficiency
The Explorer XLT has EPA estimates of 21 and 28 mpg for city and highway driving, respectively.
XLT Sport Appearance Package
The Sport Appearance Package, as the name implies, is a purely aesthetic upgrade pack, available only on XLT models. On purchasing this package, owners can stand out from other XLT models and boast a unique appearance similar to some of the high-end trim levels in the 2021 Explorer lineup.
It includes the aforementioned 20-inch carbonized gray-painted wheels with similarly finished elements such as grille bars, mesh insert, liftgate appliqué, body cladding inserts, and skid plate. Other exterior changes include an “Explorer” font on the hood and dual chrome-finished exhaust tips.
The appearance upgrades are not limited to the vehicle’s exterior; on the inside, you get branded floor mats and light slate seats with contrast stitching in medium slate. A similar pattern carries over to the door trim.
Pricing
The XLT starts at $35,075 for the 2WD model. However, adding options can quickly raise the price. Optional extras like the Intelligent 4WD system costs $2,000, while the Co-Pilot 360 Assist+ goes for $795. Moreover, a twin-panel moon roof will cost you an additional $1,695.
Self-sealing 20-inch tires are available for $195, and another $495 will get you a bench seating configuration for the second row. Rear-seat passengers can get entertainment by opting for a headrest-mounted entertainment system for $1,995. Exterior body paint schemes like Rapid Red and Infinite Blue cost $395, while Star White costs $595.
Ford has several exciting options for those who intend to take their Explorers off-road, offering three main packs. The Outfitters Bike pack includes two Yakima front loaders; the other two options are Cargo packs, with one having a Yakima MegaWarrior and another having Yakima’s SkyBox 16. Each of these packs costs $935 and also includes cargo mats and roof-rail crossbars. When purchased individually, the cargo mat and roof-rail crossbars cost $150 and $325, respectively.
Buyers looking for a comprehensive upgrade package can go for the 202A equipment group for $3,540. However, keep in mind that you can add optional equipment like the Co-Pilot 360 Assist+, 20-inch wheels, moon roof, etc., only with the 202A package.
2021 Ford Explorer Limited
Starting price: $45,255
Powertrain
The Limited trim offers buyers a choice of two very different powertrains; in addition to the 2.3-liter EcoBoost power unit found in the previous models, this trim is also available with a hybrid electric 3.3-liter naturally aspirated V6. The hybrid produces 318 hp at 6500 rpm and 322 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm. Moreover, since this is not a turbocharged engine, you also get a quicker throttle response. Besides, the instant torque from the electric motors will also account for better acceleration off the line.
The transmission is still a 10-speed auto box sending power to the rear wheels unless you choose the optional 4WD setup. Other features like hill descent control and the terrain management system remain standard with the 4WD upgrade.
Interior
This trim replaces the cloth seats and comes with a more premium perforated leather seating material as standard. Customers can choose from a light sandstone finish or a darker ebony shade for the seats. The first-row captain seats are now heated and cooled to serve both extremes of the weather spectrum.
Second-row bench seating configuration remains optional, while buyers can now also choose to have power-folding third-row seats. Moreover, the second-row seats also have heating functionality.
Furthermore, this trim adds several standard comfort features not available on others. These include an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, forward sensing system, second-row sun blinds, multi-color ambient lighting for a pleasant experience, remote start functionality, a universal garage door opener, and a wireless charging pad. Safe to say, the Limited trim model comes loaded with plenty of comfort features; even a heated steering wheel is standard.
Besides, an active noise cancellation system that uses several strategically-placed microphones throughout the vehicle’s interior to absorb unnecessary sound is standard only on the hybrid model.
Optional equipment such as power tilt/telescopic steering column adjustments and a power-fold third row is available with the 301A package.
The infotainment system is a massive upgrade thanks to a Bang & Olufsen sound system consisting of 12 speakers. The voice-activated touchscreen navigation system is now standard on the Limited trim.
Other optional equipment such as the headrest-mounted entertainment system or the twin-panel moon roof remains unchanged.
Exterior
The Limited model adds several appearance-enhancing pieces of equipment to the car’s exterior, such as auto on/off headlamps with LED low beams, halogen reflector high beams, LED fog lamps, body-color door handles, dual chrome exhaust tips, silver grille inserts, tailgate ornament in chrome, and rain-sensing wipers. The side mirrors get power-folding functionality with LED turn signal indicators and a glossy black finish. Furthermore, the roof rack’s side rails are finished in satin aluminum instead of black on the previous model.
Meanwhile, 20-inch premium painted aluminum wheels come as standard with an option to upgrade to hand-polished wheels of the same size. The hand-polished wheels come as standard in the hybrid model.
Safety features
This trim sees no major additions to the safety front over the previous model, but certain features like the Co-Pilot 360 Assist+ system that were optional on the XLT trim are now fitted as standard. Also standard is a 360° camera with split-view functionality.
Fuel efficiency
The EPA estimates for the EcoBoost Limited model are identical at 21mpg city and 28mpg highway. Meanwhile, the hybrid gets a 27/28 mpg rating in RWD configuration, while 4WD decreases the figures to 23/26 mpg. The hybrid powertrain may seem to add little to the fuel economy, but Ford has focused on getting more utility than efficiency from these models; this is evident by the hybrid model’s high towing capacity.
Pricing
The Limited model starts at just over $45,000 for the base model, while choosing the hybrid powertrain will add approximately $5,000 to the price tag before other fees or optional extras.
This trim level comes equipped with the 300A equipment group as standard, while buyers can opt for the 301A package for an additional $700. The 301A group includes a memory driver’s seat, foot-activated tailgate, memory side mirrors, power-folding third-row seats, power steering column adjustment, and a 110V AC power outlet.
Just like previous trims, you can add optional equipment if you choose the 301A package, like 20-inch hand-polished aluminum wheels for $595 and other gear mentioned in the XLT and base trim.
2021 Ford Explorer Timberline
Starting price: $46,015
Powertrain
New for 2021, the Timberline is the rugged off-road version of the Explorer. Hence, it comes exclusively with an all-wheel-drive system for added traction. It also gets a raised suspension by 0.8 inches. The 2.3-liter turbocharged engine with 300 hp stays the same, though.
The upgrades make the Explorer Timberline a much more capable off-road machine. Sure, it won’t provide you with Raptor-like levels of capability, but it should be enough for your next overlanding adventure.
Interior
Ford continued the off-road theme in the interior, with a stone-mesh trim on the dashboard and the mountain range Timberline trim on the seats. The equipment is the same as on the Limited trim, though.
Exterior
The Explorer Timberline gets quite a few upgrades on the outside. Notably, the front end features a unique grille in Dark Carbonized Gray color, which features Ford Performance auxiliary lights for added visibility during night off-road sessions.
Furthermore, there are unique 18-inch aluminum wheels in black, and aggressive-looking all-terrain tires. The Timberline logo is also laser-etched on the wheels, adding to the overall look.
Trailer Tow Package — Class III
The 2021 Ford Explorer Timberline gets the Trailer Tow Package — Class III as standard, providing it with a towing capacity of 5,300 pounds.
2021 Ford Explorer ST
Starting price: $49,000
Powertrain
As is evident by the ST name, this trim of the 2021 Explorer is for people wanting a mid-size family SUV with a bit of a sporty side. So naturally, Ford’s 2.3-liter EcoBoost or 3.3-liter hybrid power units were not going to fit the description.
To that end, Ford has fitted this model with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost unit producing 400 hp at 5500 rpm and 415 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm. The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with 4WD as standard. The manual shifting mode in the 10-speed will be a useful feature to extract a better driving experience from the ST.
To further improve the handling, Ford has tuned the ST’s suspension to possess more sporty characteristics. The brand has not specified the changes, but we assume stiffening up the shocks and anti-roll bars is part of it.
Features like hill descent control and terrain management system are also standard.
Interior
This trim retains the perforated leather seats and now comes branded with “ST” logos all over the interior. The ebony leather is aptly contrasted by City Silver stitching. Even the heated steering wheel is adorned with an ST logo and paddle shifters that let you downshift and hear the glorious V6 sing at will.
Other additions include a power tilt/telescopic steering column and power-folding third row. Buyers opting for the Premium Technology Package will get Multi-contour seats with massage functionality for the front row; besides being more comfortable, these seats offer five massage themes that make longer journeys much more bearable.
The ST model also retains the 8-inch LCD touchscreen infotainment system paired with the Limited model’s 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound system. If that doesn’t do the trick, Ford will upgrade it to a 14-speaker 980 Watt system with a 10.1-inch vertically-mounted touchscreen also as part of the Premium Technology Package.
Exterior
The Explorer ST would not be an actual ST model without several exterior changes allowing it to stand out as a sportier and performance-focused offering. To that end, this trim brings various appearance changes such as unique blackout LED tail lamps, body-color door handles with black inserts, blacked-out grille, black liftgate appliqué, side mirrors with ST projection lamps and auto-dimming and memory functionality, EXPLORER hood badge, and roof rack side rail delete for a cleaner overall look. Quad chrome exhaust tips further enhance the ST’s overall sporty stance.
Safety features
This trim adds Ford’s Active Park Assist 2.0, a helpful driver aid feature that helps owners get in or out of a tight parking space. However, the system works only for parallel or perpendicular parking scenarios and only if certain preset conditions are met.
As standard, the ST trim comes equipped with 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted pockets, while customers can select larger 21-inch aluminum wheels with the ST high-performance pack or the ST street pack.
ST Street Pack
The ST Street Pack is an optional package available only on ST models; it includes 21-inch aluminum wheels wrapped in all-season BSW tires, high-performance brakes, and red brake calipers. More specifically, the brake upgrades include vented rotors and larger calipers (18 mm front and 30 mm at the rear), making the job of taming the 400 hp engine a little bit easier.
ST High-Performance Pack
Another optional upgrade for buyers looking to spice up their new Explorer ST is the optional High-Performance Pack. The included components are similar to the Street Pack with one tiny difference; the street pack has vented rotors and larger calipers. The Performance pack dials it up to eleven with an upgraded brake line system. The Ford website and configurator both show these packs as entirely identical, so you might need to contact your nearest dealer for further information.
Specs
Being a performance model, one would not expect the Explorer ST to be very fuel-efficient. Hence, the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 has an EPA-rated economy of 18/24 mpg (city/highway).
Ford has not publicly stated any number related to the car’s acceleration. However, several tests have shown the ST can sprint from 0-60 mph in somewhere between 5-5.5 seconds, an impressive feat for a mid-size family SUV.
Pricing
The Explorer ST starts at $49,000 before fees or optional extras. Going for the ST Street Pack will set you back another $995, while the ST High-Performance Pack costs $1,595. You can add the Premium Technology Pack for $995. Ultimately, adding the roof rack side rails in Satin will cost another $250.
2021 Ford Explorer Platinum
Starting price: $52,730
Powertrain
Being the range-topping model in the Explorer lineup, the Platinum trim level focuses on luxury and usability rather than brute force like the ST. This trim also uses the same 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo engine. Only this time, the V6 power unit produces 365 hp at 5500 rpm and 380 lb-ft of torque at 3500 rpm. These figures may represent a significant downfall compared to the ST model, but the engine is potent enough for what this trim intends to be.
Just like every other model, the Platinum also uses a 10-speed automatic transmission paired to Ford’s Intelligent 4WD system as standard. It also retains features like the terrain management system and hill descent control from the previous trim.
Interior
Following the luxurious theme, the Platinum model sports a few additional features, such as Platinum branded floor mats with Brunello stitching for the first two rows, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and illuminated scuff plates in the front two doors.
Exclusive to the Explorer Platinum are tri-diamond perforated leather seats with accent stitching and the “Platinum” logo. Buyers can choose from two different shades for the interior; the ebony option combines brown upper surfaces with black lower areas, while those looking for a lighter theme can go with the Light Sandstone option.
Buyers looking for more features can add the Premium Technology Package for an extra charge.
Exterior
This trim comes standard with Adaptive Headlamps and LED signature lighting; its adaptive nature means when the car is taking a left or right turn, the headlamps also shift focus in the same direction to help the driver see clearly in the dark.
Furthermore, the black door handle inserts from the ST are now finished in Satin Aluminum for a more premium look and feel. Also finished in Satin Aluminum are the lower bodyside cladding inserts, liftgate appliqué, roof rack side rails, and front grille.
The only wheel choice for the Platinum trim is the 21-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with luster nickel-painted pockets. They are wrapped around all-season BSW tires for optimum ride quality and grip.
Safety features
Ford’s entire suite of safety systems is standard in the Platinum Explorer. The long list includes driver aids such as Active Park Assist 2.0, Co-Pilot 360 Assist+, or the Individual Tire Pressure Monitoring System (ITPMS). Other security features include Ford’s SecuriCode and SecuriLock security system.
Fuel efficiency
Although less powerful, the Platinum boasts similar EPA figures as the ST trim at 18mpg city and 24mpg highway.
Pricing
This trim starts at $54,480 without optional extras and other fees. Since it comes generously loaded with equipment, one can go without the extras. Still, for those interested, the only major package available is the Premium Technology Pack for $1,295.
2021 Ford Explorer King Ranch Edition
Starting price: RWD – $52,600
Ford has also released a special King Ranch Edition for the 2021 Explorer lineup, partnering with Texas-based cattle ranch to offer customers a rugged new model with a premium appearance, high-quality materials, and authenticity of the King Ranch.
Marking 20 years since the first King Ranch special edition F-150 pick-up, Ford has made history by introducing this edition on the Explorer. Until now, the King Ranch badge was available only on five generations of F-150, four generations of F-Series Super Duty trucks, and three generations of Expedition SUVs.
Powertrain
This special edition features the same 3.0-liter EcoBoost powerplant from the Platinum trim with the same horsepower and torque figures. Only this time, it is paired to an RWD system with the option to upgrade to Ford’s Intelligent 4WD configuration. The 10-speed automatic transmission comes with paddle shifters as standard.
Interior
The interior is where the King Ranch edition shines, featuring unique touches such as Mesa Del Rio perforated leather seats in a mahogany color scheme. The interior is also adorned with the King Ranch running “W” logo.
Mesa Del Rio’s leather-wrapped goodness continues in the rest of the cockpit with components such as the center console armrest, door trim, instrument panel, and steering wheel. The instrument panel and steering wheel also contain premium Sapele wood appliqués and inserts, respectively, featuring Norias stitching.
The infotainment system remains the same as the Platinum trim. Hence, it features voice-activated navigation, 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound system, and an 8-inch LCD touchscreen. Optional upgrades include the twin-panel moon roof and the Premium Technology Package.
Exterior
There are only subtle exterior differences that separate it from other trims in the 2021 Ford Explorer lineup. Things like the front grille, which has uniquely finished inserts depending on the trim (black for ST and Satin Aluminum in Platinum trims), are painted in Stone Gray for the King Ranch edition.
Meanwhile, this trim features 20-inch aluminum wheels with center caps with King Ranch’s flowing W logo. You can find similar badging in the liftgate scuff plate and quad chrome exhaust tips.
Safety features
As you would expect, the King Ranch special edition Explorer comes fully loaded with the entire range of Ford’s safety features as standard.
Fuel efficiency
Since it uses the same engine as the Platinum trim, the King Ranch special edition is EPA rated at 18/24 mpg for city/highway driving.
Pricing
Available starting this spring, this edition costs $52,600 and $54,600 for rear-wheel and all-wheel-drive versions, respectively. We are still waiting to hear how much the optional Premium Technology Pack will add to the price.
Optional Packages
Premium Technology Package (optional on ST and Platinum)
- Multi-contour front seats with active massaging
- 980-Watt Bang and Olufsen 14-speaker sound system
- 10.1-inch horizontally mounted touchscreen
Class III Trailer Tow Package (optional on base, XLT, and Limited models; standard on ST and Platinum)
- Frame-mounted hitch
- Engine oil cooler
- Trailer connectors
More Information
Cargo Space
Rather surprisingly, the 2021 Ford Explorer has 18.2 cu-ft of cargo space with all seats upright; this increases to 47.9 cu-ft with the third row folded and to 87.8 cu-ft when you also fold the second row.
Warranty
Ford provides a three-year/36,000-mile limited warranty in addition to a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty.
NHTSA’s Safety Test
The National Traffic Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded the 2021 Ford Explorer with a top safety rating of five stars.
Towing Capacity
Depending on the specific model, the 2021 Ford Explorer has a towing capacity ranging from 5,000-5,600 lbs.
Last Words
We hope this in-depth buying guide has helped you choose the right trim for your new 2021 Ford Explorer family SUV. For those still undecided, the base model makes an excellent budget choice, while the XLT trim is great for folks interested in getting a little bit more.
Although the Limited trim comes with several premium features, the extra cost does not seem justified to us (but, of course, that’s just us!).
Performance enthusiasts who need to do a regular school run can go with the sporty ST option. On the other hand, efficiency-seekers can buy the hybrid model for a nearly similar price.
The SUV market is becoming overly competitive by the day, getting manufacturers to bring down prices. This is evident by the fact that Ford cut prices for the 2021 model year. Some trims received cuts well over $3,000. Thus, you should take advantage of this state and get the best deal possible from your local Ford dealer.
