At Sherwood Ford in Sherwood Park, AB, drivers looking for a spacious, powerful, and versatile SUV often find themselves comparing two iconic options: the 2025 Ford Explorer versus the 2025 Ford Expedition. Both models offer distinctive trim levels, engine options, and cargo space to meet your family’s needs. If you’re wondering which one is the right fit for your lifestyle, we’re here to help break down the differences.
The 2025 Explorer and Expedition both offer a strong lineup of trim levels, giving drivers plenty of choices when it comes to styling, features, and technology.
2025 Ford Explorer trim levels include:
Active, ST-Line, Platinum, and ST
These trims range from adventure-ready to performance-focused, with the ST-Line and ST models offering sportier touches and enhancements.
2025 Ford Expedition trim levels include:
Active, Tremor, Platinum, and King Ranch
Whether you’re looking for off-road capabilities with the Tremor or upscale luxury with the King Ranch and Platinum, the Expedition has a trim to match your driving goals.
Both the Explorer and Expedition come with two engine options to suit different levels of power and efficiency. Each SUV starts with a standard engine that delivers a balanced mix of everyday performance and fuel economy. For those who want a little extra under the hood, an available upgraded engine brings more horsepower and torque to the table—perfect for towing, hauling, or hitting the highway with confidence.
