Official images of the new Ford Explorer ST Sinister Package have been released. It is an exclusive Sinister package launched by Ford for the Explorer ST model. The package delivers a more aggressive visual effect to the Explorer ST, featuring gloss black 21-inch wheels, blacked-out ST badging, and highly recognizable amber daytime running lights.
However, this package only includes exterior upgrades, with no adjustments made to the powertrain. The 2027 Explorer ST is powered by a 3.0L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine, with a maximum power output of 390 horsepower, which is down from the 406 horsepower of the 2025 model.
Meanwhile, Ford has prepared a driver training program for owners of 2026 and 2027 Explorer ST models. The program will kick off across the United States in fall 2026, consisting of a one-day professional driving course. It is designed to allow owners to fully explore the performance limits of their vehicles, and even experience the driving feel of American-style intercept maneuvers.
