Rear-wheel drive is standard, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting. If you’re looking to take on some tougher roads or just want some extra grip, opt for available four-wheel drive. If you want to take that weekend camping trip you’ve been dreaming of, the 2025 Grand Cherokee can haul it all with ease. The 2025 Ford Explorer features a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder base engine, standard rear-wheel drive, and a 10-speed automatic transmission. While either vehicle is great for daily driving, the Grand Cherokee’s refined steering and enhanced braking allow for a smooth ride, even on tougher roads.
