The Ford Explorer ST adds an optional Sinister Package for 2027.
It's already available to order and comes with amber daytime running lights.
The ST accounted for almost 22 percent of all Explorer sales during the 2025 model year.
It’s safe to say the sixth-generation Explorer is getting long in the tooth, having been introduced in early 2019. But before an all-new model arrives, possibly later this decade, Ford is still finding ways to spruce up its current SUV. For the 2027 model year, the ST version gains an optional Sinister Package. It does exactly what it says on the tin, bringing an almost completely blacked-out appearance.
The 2027 Explorer ST with the new kit rides on 21-inch gloss-black wheels wrapped in all-season tires. ST exterior badges feature a dark outline, while amber daytime running lights add a subtle splash of color. The corporate Blue Oval hasn’t gone dark either; on the contrary, it now lights up at the front as a new feature for 2027. Red brake calipers provide contrast against the glossy black wheels.
