Ford Drops Attractive 2025 Explorer Lease Offer for August originally appeared on Autoblog.
A solid deal for a beloved model
The Ford Explorer has been a familiar sight on American roads for more than thirty years, evolving from a boxy, trail-ready utility vehicle into a comfortable, family-focused SUV. It’s built a reputation for space, versatility, and a driving experience that leans more toward comfort than off-road grit.
That formula has kept the Explorer competitive even as the three-row SUV market has exploded with new options. Rivals like the Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride, and Toyota Grand Highlander have raised the bar in styling, tech, and value. But Ford hasn’t been sitting still — and this August, it’s pairing a freshened design with lease offers that could sway shoppers who are cross-shopping multiple brands.
August lease offers make it even more appealing
This month, Ford is making the Explorer even harder to ignore. Shoppers can lease a 2025 Explorer Active AWD for $339 per month for 36 months with $4,339 due at signing. Those looking for a bit more capability can choose the Active 4WD with the Comfort Package for $499 per month for the same term, with just $499 due at signing.
The latter offer also comes with a complimentary two-year maintenance plan, which can help take the sting out of ownership costs. Both deals waive the security deposit. Taxes, title, and license fees are extra, but the offers still stack up well against competing three-row SUVs in similar trims.
The 2025 model gets thoughtful updates
For 2025, the Explorer gets a redesigned grille, slimmer LED headlights, and new wheel designs that give it a sharper look. Inside, upgraded soft-touch materials and available contrast stitching add polish, while the standard 13.2-inch touchscreen now runs Ford’s quicker SYNC 4A software. A 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster is available, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto remain standard.
These tweaks keep the Explorer feeling current without changing its formula. With up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space and a roomy third row, it’s still a practical choice for family trips or daily errands.
Why the Explorer still makes sense in 2025
The standard 300-horsepower 2.3-liter turbo-four and 10-speed automatic deliver strong towing capacity—up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. Available Intelligent 4WD adds selectable drive modes for different conditions, giving it an edge over some purely road-focused rivals.

Ford’s wide dealer network makes service easy, and even base trims include tri-zone climate control, Co-Pilot360 driver assists, and multiple USB ports. Combine that with this month’s lease offers, and the Explorer remains a solid pick for space, capability, and everyday value.
Final thoughts
The SUV landscape has changed dramatically since the Explorer first hit the road, but Ford’s three-row remains a steady, well-rounded choice. With August’s lease offers, it has an extra edge for shoppers prioritizing value. If a dependable, comfortable, and versatile SUV is on your list, this might be the month to see if the Explorer fits the bill.
