Marsh Gray gives this 2026 Ford Explorer ST RWD a serious look before you ever hit the start button, and the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 under the hood gives it the kind of performance that separates it from the average three-row SUV around Wesley Chapel, Tampa, Land O Lakes, and Lutz. If you want something that delivers real power, standout style, premium comfort, and family-ready flexibility, this Explorer ST checks a lot of boxes in one sharp package.

This ST is built for drivers who want more than just basic utility. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers strong acceleration, smooth highway power, and the kind of confident response that makes everyday driving feel more rewarding. Rear-wheel drive, sport-tuned suspension, red performance brakes, quad-tip dual exhaust, and ST-specific styling all help give this Explorer the personality performance-minded buyers are looking for.

What makes this Explorer ST stand out:
- 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with 10-speed automatic for strong, smooth turbocharged performance
- 21-inch aluminum wheels and red performance brakes for a more aggressive ST look and feel
- Sun and Sound Package with moonroof, B&O 14-speaker sound system, and multicontour front seats
- 13.2-inch touchscreen with Ford Digital Experience, Google Maps, and Play Store access
- 12.3-inch digital cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Wi-Fi hotspot capability
- 360-degree camera, remote start, rain-sensing wipers, and push-button start
- Heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, ambient lighting, and powerfold third row
- BlueCruise equipment and Class III Trailer Tow Package for added confidence and versatility

Inside, this Explorer ST blends sporty attitude with real comfort. The Onyx interior with Miko inserts and red stitch accents gives the cabin a more upscale, driver-focused feel, while the heated and ventilated front seats, heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, multicontour seating, ambient lighting, and universal garage door opener make daily use more enjoyable. The powerfold third row and heated second-row seats help make this a performance SUV that still works for real family life.

Technology is one of the biggest reasons this Explorer feels current. Ford Connected Services, 5G modem capability, Ford Digital Experience, wireless smartphone integration, and BlueCruise equipment all help make ownership easier and more convenient. From remote start on busy mornings to easier navigation, entertainment, and longer highway drives, this ST is equipped the way modern drivers actually want.

The styling is just as strong as the equipment list. Marsh Gray gives this Explorer a clean, premium finish that looks a little different from the usual SUV colors on the road, and the black mesh grille, ST badging, quad exhaust, and sporty stance help it stand out even more. Around New Tampa, Odessa, Carrollwood, Temple Terrace, and Zephyrhills, this is the kind of SUV that looks right at home at the office, out to dinner, or heading off for a weekend trip.
