While most three-row mid-size SUVs are practical and reliable as family haulers, they rarely offer much in the way of excitement, unless you're talking about the 2025 Ford Explorer. Its rugged, muscular frame is pleasing to the eye and does little to hide the Explorer's thrill-inducing intentions, while its turbocharged engines and suite of high-performance features deliver explosive performance both on- and off-road. Meanwhile, a spacious, luxuriously appointed cabin ensures every ride is as comfortable as it is thrilling. more The Adventure-Ready Features of the 2025 Ford Explorer Potent Engines The Explorer comes with two high-powered engine options to meet varying levels of thrill tolerance. Those who prefer a "tamer" experience get a responsive 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four that unleashes a whopping 300 HP and 310 pound-feet of torque, hurtling this three-row SUV from 0 to 60 mph in just 6 seconds! Additionally, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds while getting a remarkable 28 MPG on the highway, giving you the perfect blend of power and efficiency. Those who wish to handle all the Ford Explorer has to give are treated to a lively 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 that delivers a staggering 400 HP and 415 pound-feet of torque with a raspy roar. This gives the Explorer ST blinding speed, reaching 60 mph in just 5 seconds, allowing you to easily outrun just about every other vehicle on the road. More impressively, it remains superbly efficient despite its tremendous output, achieving up to 26 MPG on the highway. Hair-Raising Performance The Ford Explorer challenges the notion that all three-row SUVs are cumbersome and unwieldy with its agile reflexes and responsive handling, thanks to several high-performance features and ingenious design elements. Rear-wheel drive is by design to ensure near-perfect weight distribution between the axles, giving the Explorer the exceptional balance and stability it needs to remain composed during high-speed turns and maneuvers. Pirelli Scorpion Zero high-performance all-season tires provide a tenacious grip, boosting traction even further for optimal control. Meanwhile, the buttery-smooth 10-speed automatic transmission delivers power with effortless grace, making you feel in sync with the machine, while the precise and tactile rack-and-pinion steering system makes you feel one with the road, resulting in a razor-sharp, highly engaging driving experience.

To ensure a premium riding experience, it comes with all sorts of available high-end niceties such as heated and ventilated massaging front seats, heated second-row captain's chairs, a heated steering wheel, three-zone automatic climate control, soft-touch leather upholstery, a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, and more!

The newly-released 2025 Ford Mustang GTD is no mere car but a race-ready innovation you can drive on America's everyday roads. This supercar has the technical prowess, refined design, and advanced components to handle your daily commute and tricky turns on the track. more Basics about the 2025 Ford Mustang GTD Ford released the two-door coupe as the very first supercar you're (just about) allowed to drive on the streets. Few cars can complete Germany's famous Nürburgring track in under 7 minutes. The GTD did it in 6 minutes and 57 seconds. As the first of its kind in the Mustang lineup, the GTD can churn out an extraordinary 815 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 5.2L V8 engine. A dual-clutch, eight-speed rear transaxle, and carbon fiber driveshaft help maintain a near-perfect weight distribution. With a top speed of 202 mph, it's safe to say this vehicle is close to impossible to match. Unique Features Engineered to Master Everything about the supercar's engineering is intentional. Its rear suspension design and adaptive dampers sense the pavement and respond instantly, offering a smooth ride on roads and, most notably for thrill seekers, razor-sharp handling on the track. A cutting-edge Drag Reduction System can adjust to rear wing angle and quickly deploy front flaps to shift from high-speed efficiency to corner-craving stability. With the Track Mode engaged, the car's ride height is lowered by 40 millimeters for better cornering and stability. A sophisticated dry-sump oil system keeps the engine lubricated, even during intense turns. This also allows a raised engine speed of 7,650 rpm, adding fresh thrills whenever you take on the open road. And the standard titanium exhaust produces a distinct, featherweight sound your ears can only perceive as music. Built for the Future A 12.4-inch digital cluster and a generous 13.2-inch center touchscreen with SYNC 4 technology keep you connected, updated, and in control. Thanks to the dual-screen system's video-game-inspired graphics, entering the cockpit feels like stepping into a futuristic sci-fi movie. Wireless smartphone pairing and natural voice command ensure your eyes stay exactly where they need to be: on the road ahead. Available options include the semi-active suspension with hydraulic control to fine-tune handling on the fly. Select versions feature 3D-printed paddle and rotary shifters made from reclaimed fighter jet materials. Tailored to the Driver High-quality materials like leather upholstery and carbon fiber accents adorn the race-ready cabin. The specially designed Recaro seats with laser-etched suede surfaces offer a secure, comfortable fit from the moment you take your rightful place behind the wheel. The GTC is where racing heritage and modern innovation meet. Stop by Franklin Ford in Franklin, MA, and learn more about the ultimate offering in street-legal performance.
