2027 Ford Explorer Trim Levels, EcoBoost® Specs & 4WD Guide in Wyoming
Engineered on a rear-wheel-drive unibody platform with available Intelligent 4WD, the 2027 Ford Explorer delivers three-row family seating, standard 5,000-lb Class III towing capacity when properly equipped, and turbocharged EcoBoost® performance built for Wyoming's high-elevation highways and backcountry trails. Every 2027 Explorer comes equipped with a 13.2-inch Ford Digital Experience center touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, standard second-row Captain's Chairs with E-Z Entry, and a newly included 1-year Ford Security Package.
- Two Turbocharged EcoBoost® Engines: Choose between the standard 300-hp 2.3L EcoBoost® inline-4 (310 lb-ft of torque) and the twin-turbocharged 400-hp 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 (415 lb-ft of torque)—both paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

- Expanded Tremor 801A & ST Sinister Package: The trail-ready Explorer Tremor 4WD adds the new 801A 3.0L V6 Ultimate Package (and newly optional Sun and Sound Package), while the 400-hp Explorer ST introduces the optional ST Sinister Package (19G) featuring 21-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels and a black-outlined Red ST badge.
- Standard Class III Towing Across Every Trim: All five series—Active, ST-Line, Tremor, ST, and Platinum—include the Class III Trailer Tow Package as standard equipment, rated to tow up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped.
2027 Ford Explorer EcoBoost® Engines, MPG & 5,000-Lb Towing Specs
Naturally aspirated engines lose roughly 3% of their rated output for every 1,000 feet of elevation gain—a noticeable penalty when climbing 7,550-foot South Pass on WY-28, 9,658-foot Togwotee Pass between Dubois and Jackson, or 9,666-foot Powder River Pass in the Bighorns. The 2027 Ford Explorer counters high-altitude thin air with standard twin-scroll or twin-turbocharged EcoBoost® forced induction across the entire lineup:
| Specification | 2.3L EcoBoost® Turbocharged I-4 (99H) | 3.0L EcoBoost® Twin-Turbo V6 (99C) |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / Available Trims | Standard on Active (100A/200A), ST-Line (300A), Tremor (800A) & Platinum (600A Standard) | Standard on ST (400A) & Tremor (801A); Available on Platinum (600A 3.0L Ultimate Package) |
| Horsepower (SAE J1349®)* | 300 hp @ 5,500 rpm (with premium fuel) | 400 hp @ 5,500 rpm (with premium fuel) |
| Torque (SAE J1349®)* | 310 lb-ft @ 3,500 rpm | 415 lb-ft @ 3,500 rpm |

Class III Trailer Tow Package & Sway Control
Every 2027 Explorer leaves the factory with the Class III Trailer Tow Package—rated for up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped. Standard BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert includes Trailer Coverage to monitor blind zones alongside your boat or enclosed snowmobile trailer.
Side-Wind Stabilization & RWD Architecture
Winter and spring gusts along I-80 between Rawlins and Laramie or WY-220 near Alcova Reservoir challenge high-profile SUVs. Standard Side-Wind Stabilization works with AdvanceTrac™ with RSC® (Roll Stability Control™) to apply corrective single-side braking during severe crosswinds.
TORSEN® Limited-Slip Rear Differential
On loose gravel, washboard Bureau of Land Management two-tracks, and snow-packed county roads, the Explorer Tremor's mechanical TORSEN® limited-slip rear axle automatically biases torque to the rear wheel with stronger traction before slip occurs.
