2027 Ford Explorer: What’s New, Prices, Trims & How to Order in Kent, WA
Updated October 29, 2026 from Ford’s 2027 Explorer order guide and October 1, 2026 price list. Fuel economy from the EPA at fueleconomy.gov.
The Short Version
The 2027 Explorer isn’t a redesign. It keeps the look Ford introduced for 2025 and changes what you can order. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 returns to the Platinum through a new $5,660 Ultimate Package, the ST adds a $1,695 Sinister Package, and the V6 Tremor becomes its own Tremor 801A, with premium audio, massaging seats and the panoramic roof moved to an optional package. The opening Panoramic Vista Roof replaces 2026’s fixed-glass roof, a $295 Slick Roof Conversion can delete the roof rails, and Avalanche Gray and Ruby Red join the colors while Space White leaves. Every 2027 includes a year of the Ford Security Package, and Ford’s national discount takes $1,000 off the Active Comfort Package. One cut: the universal garage door opener is no longer standard. Prices start at $38,680 (Active RWD) plus $1,795 destination; ST-Line from $44,415, Tremor $49,415, Platinum $50,875 and ST $53,875.

Ford's ratings use premium fuel.
Is there a 2027 Explorer XLT, Limited, King Ranch or Timberline?
No. Ford retired those names when it refreshed the Explorer for 2025. The 2027 lineup is Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum and ST. Tell us what you drive now and we'll match the features you want to the right 2027 model.
Are there discounts on the 2027 Explorer?
Ford's 2027 National Discount Package takes $1,000 off an Active 200A ordered with the Active Comfort Package, applied automatically at order. Other Ford incentives change monthly, so ask us what applies when you order. Discounts are subject to change.
Looking for the Police Interceptor Utility? It’s Ford’s separate pursuit-rated Explorer for law enforcement, and our fleet team handles agency orders.
