Agate Black Metallic and ST performance attitude give this 2026 Ford Explorer ST RWD the kind of presence that stands out immediately in Wesley Chapel. Powered by the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 and paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, this Explorer is built for drivers who want three-row SUV practicality without giving up sharp acceleration, confident road manners, or premium comfort. If you want something that feels more special than the average family SUV, this ST hits the mark.

The performance story is a big part of the appeal. Ford pairs this Explorer ST with sport-tuned suspension, red performance brakes, rear-wheel-drive balance, and standard Class III trailer tow capability, so it feels athletic when you want it to and useful when you need it to be. The 21-inch aluminum wheels, black mesh grille, quad-tip dual exhaust, skid plate elements, and ST badging give it a true sport-SUV look that fits right in from Tampa to Land O Lakes to New Tampa.

Highlights that make this Explorer ST easy to want:
- 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with 10-speed automatic for strong, smooth turbocharged performance
- Sun and Sound Package with moonroof, B&O 14-speaker audio, and multicontour front seats
- 21-inch aluminum wheels and red performance brakes for a more aggressive ST look and feel
- 13.2-inch touchscreen with Ford Digital Experience, Google Maps, and Play Store access
- 360-degree camera, remote start, keyless entry with push-button start, and rain-sensing wipers
- Heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, powerfold third row, and ambient lighting

Inside, this Explorer ST brings together sporty design and family-friendly comfort. The Onyx Miko inserts, red stitch accents, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, digital cluster, universal garage door opener, and USB-C ports in all rows give the cabin a premium, modern feel without losing the flexibility buyers expect from a three-row SUV. Multicontour front seats help make long drives more comfortable, while the powerfold third row makes cargo and passenger changes much easier in real life.

Technology is one of the biggest reasons this ST feels current. The 13.2-inch center display and 12.3-inch digital cluster keep everything clean and easy to use, while Ford Connected Services add the convenience customers ask for most. Features like the 5G modem, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, remote access through FordPass, and BlueCruise equipment help make daily driving around the Tampa Bay area more connected, more convenient, and more enjoyable.
