===2022 model year===

In 2021, for the 2022 [[model year]], a rear-wheel drive version of the Explorer ST became available, as did a [[Hybrid electric vehicle|hybrid]] version of the range-topping Platinum. The XLT gained a new Appearance Package with unique aluminum-alloy wheels and seating surfaces. Added mid-year 2021, the ''Timberline'' trim is based on the mid-level XLT, and adds unique heathered cloth and ActiveX ([[leatherette]])-trimmed seating surfaces, all-terrain tires, and unique exterior and interior styling details. A new ''ST Line'' trim, also based on the mid-level XLT, adds exterior and interior styling elements from the performance-oriented ST, but does not include the 3.0-liter [[EcoBoost]] twin-turbocharged V6 engine, and is instead powered by the base 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline four-cylinder engine. The ST Line offers an optional [[Bang and Olufsen]] premium [[surround sound]] audio system with an external amplifier, which was previously only offered on Limited trims and above.
