Ford Adds Sinister Appearance Package to 2027 Explorer ST

The $1,695 option gives factory blacked-out trim without changing the SUV’s powertrain.

Overview

  • Ford is offering the Sinister Package as a $1,695 appearance bundle for the 2027 Explorer ST that focuses on dark styling rather than mechanical changes.
  • The package includes 21-inch gloss-black wheels, bespoke ST badging, and amber running lights as factory-fit items.
  • Customers can order the Sinister Package with any standard exterior paint instead of being limited to black finishes.
  • The Explorer ST keeps its 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 with a stated 385 horsepower figure that Ford says is measured to SAE J1349 using premium fuel.
  • Ford pairs the package with an owner engagement push by inviting 2026 and 2027 ST buyers to the Explorer ST Experience, a one-day driving school scheduled to tour U.S. locations this fall and aimed at showcasing the model’s on-road performance.
