Ford’s longest-running SUV nameplate is a solid lease value for July 2025

The Ford Explorer got some small updates for the 2025 model year, and for July, Ford’s rolling out an attractive lease deal that makes getting into the driver’s seat an even more attractive prospect. Currently, shoppers can take home a 2025 Ford Explorer Active RWD for $329 per month for 36 months. You’ll need $4,429 due at signing and have 10,500 miles per year to play with. Ford’s throwing in extras, too, like a complimentary two-year maintenance plan.

That deal sounds pretty good — it’s noticeably better than the July 2025 Nissan Pathfinder lease — but it changes a little bit depending on where you are. The New York metro area sees a slight change, at $339 per month and $4,339 down. Shoppers in areas including the Chicago metro, Miami, and Southwest (including Phoenix) will need just $499 down, although the monthly payment strays a bit closer to $500 per month at $499 per month. Remember, these figures don’t include local taxes, dealership fees, and other costs, so it’s always best to get a quote from a Ford dealership.

More on the Ford Explorer

The Ford Explorer, as advertised in this lease deal, may be a base model, but it’s still shockingly well-equipped. A standard third row and tri-zone automatic climate control ensure passengers are comfortable, but drivers have a lot to look forward to as well. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, four front-row USB slots, and a 13.2-inch touchscreen are all standard equipment. The 300-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder offers 5,000 pounds of towing capacity right out of the box. Second-row captain’s chairs also give the Explorer a bit of a luxurious touch. Updates for the 2025 model year include a new front fascia design that includes a new grille and headlights, new materials inside, and new software powering the digital displays.

Prefer $0 down on your Ford Explorer lease?

By spreading the down payment across the full 36-month term, we can get a good idea of what a Ford Explorer lease looks like with no money out of pocket. It bumps the monthly cost by $123, bringing the new monthly payment to $452 per month. For the New York metro, the payment jumps just eight dollars — your monthly payment is around $460. Other markets can expect a modest jump to $513 per month. No matter which lease offer you look at, it’s hardly breaking the bank. Remember that these aren’t official zero-down estimates, and your payment will be higher after taxes and fees.

Final thoughts

The Ford Explorer debuted over thirty years ago, and the SUV landscape has changed significantly since then. While that’s good news for consumers, the Ford Explorer is a tough sell when juxtaposed with high-flyers like the Hyundai Palisade and Toyota Grand Highlander. Of course, with this compelling lease offer, the Explorer makes a better case for itself. It’s worth taking advantage of if you’re considering a three-row SUV and price is near the top of your priorities.
