Why This Vehicle

Why This Explorer ST-Line at McGraw Ford in Aransas Pass

Imagine the morning light catching Space White Metallic as you crest the Highway 361 bridge with Mustang Island spread out ahead — the Port Aransas ferry landing in clear view, your cargo hold loaded for a full day on the water, and 300 horsepower on tap the moment the ramp drops. That's not a brochure scenario. That's a Tuesday for Explorer ST-Line owners who shop McGraw Ford in Aransas Pass, where the inventory is priced for the real families of the Coastal Bend and the internet price means what it says — no asterisks, no dealer adds, no 90-minute finance office gauntlet.

This specific Explorer — VIN 1FMUK7KH3TGB39893, Stock TGB39893 — is a full Equipment Group 300A build with $46,950 on the window sticker and a McGraw Ford internet price of $41,634: a $5,316 difference that lands in your pocket, not the dealership's. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 delivers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque through a ten-speed automatic that never feels caught off-guard, whether you're merging onto I-37 near Corpus Christi or passing a slow-moving produce truck on Highway 44 outside Robstown. The RWD platform keeps this Explorer lighter and more fuel-efficient than the AWD variants — and in South Texas, where four-wheel-drive exists primarily as a marketing line, rear-wheel drive is the rational choice that saves money at every fill-up.

Technology That Earns Its Keep on Every Coastal Bend Drive

13.2" SYNC® 4 Touchscreen with Google Maps & Play Store Built In

The portrait-oriented 13.2-inch LCD touchscreen runs Ford's SYNC 4 platform with Google Maps and Google Play Store fully integrated — live navigation updates without a phone connection, and your app library travels with the vehicle rather than tethered to a handset. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster keeps critical data directly in the driver's sightline, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto handle seamless smartphone mirroring when you want it.

Bang & Olufsen 10-Speaker Premium Audio

The B&O-engineered sound system distributes 10 precision-placed speakers throughout all three rows with studio-calibrated acoustic tuning, filling the Explorer's cabin with balanced sound whether you're streaming SiriusXM 360L on the causeway or running a playlist on the long stretch of Highway 77 between Kingsville and Robstown. Voice control through SYNC 4 keeps hands on the wheel and eyes on the road — no fumbling with the touchscreen at highway speed.

Serving the Entire Coastal Bend — From Victoria to Mustang Island

Picture the morning light bouncing off Space White Metallic as you crest the Highway 361 bridge with Mustang Island spread out ahead, the Port Aransas ferry landing a half mile down the road, and 300 horsepower waiting for the ramp to drop. That's not a commercial — that's a Tuesday for Explorer ST-Line owners who shop at McGraw Ford, right here in Aransas Pass. Ingleside drivers have the shortest commute of all: just 16 miles north on Highway 361, a straight shot from the industrial waterfront to a dealership that doesn't charge big-city premiums. Ingleside sits at the working heart of the Coastal Bend, and its residents know that a tow rating matters as much as a lease payment — the Explorer's Class III hitch and 5,600-lb capacity speaks directly to that reality. Gregory buyers, positioned a few miles further up the bay, share the same effortless access and frequently stop in when they realize the drive is shorter than a Corpus Christi parking search.

Corpus Christi anchors the region with 317,000 residents and the Coastal Bend's largest concentration of SUV buyers — people who know exactly what they want and resent paying dealer markup to get it. McGraw Ford, 35 miles up US-181, offers this Explorer ST-Line at $41,634 against a $46,950 MSRP — a $5,316 difference with no negotiation theater required. Portland shoppers, just 30 miles from Aransas Pass, cross the Harbor Bridge and arrive before the Corpus Christi auto mall even opens its doors. Robstown families heading east on Highway 44 make the drive in under an hour and discover that the savings on internet pricing more than justify the trip. Sinton buyers, splitting the difference between Corpus Christi influence and San Antonio sprawl, find McGraw Ford is the independent dealer that treats every customer like a neighbor — because the majority of them are, within a county or two.

Maria G. — Corpus Christi, TX
★★★★★
"We drove out from Corpus Christi on a Saturday morning and were back home before noon with our new Explorer ST-Line. The McGraw Ford team was straightforward from the first phone call — no pressure, no add-ons, just the internet price they quoted. The Space White Metallic looks incredible in the coastal light, and the B&O sound system made the drive back down US-181 feel like a concert. Five stars, zero hesitation recommending this dealership to anyone in the Corpus Christi area."

Derek W. — Portland, TX
★★★★★
"I'll be honest — I was skeptical about passing dealers in Portland to drive to Aransas Pass. McGraw Ford had the exact ST-Line I wanted at an internet price nobody around here could touch, and the whole deal was done in under two hours. The 360-degree camera already saved me once backing into a tight spot at the Portland Community Center. Planning to tow the kayak trailer down to Ingleside Cove this weekend — can't wait to see what 5,600 lbs of tow rating feels like with a real load behind it."

Connie R. — Rockport, TX
★★★★★
"After last hurricane season I needed something solid that could haul gear, handle flooded feeder roads, and still look sharp at school pickup. The Explorer ST-Line checked every box. McGraw Motors is practically in our backyard from Rockport — twelve miles — and the service department already has me scheduled for the first oil change. The heated front seats on a cold January morning on Highway 35 are a luxury I didn't know I needed. Couldn't be happier."

Safety & Driver Assist

NHTSA 5-Star Rated — Built for Every Road Between Aransas Pass and Victoria

AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control®

Ford's AdvanceTrac system continuously monitors yaw rate and lateral acceleration, selectively braking individual wheels to correct understeer and oversteer before the driver feels it. Roll Stability Control adds gyroscopic sensing to detect rollover risk — critically relevant for three-row SUV drivers navigating the crosswind exposure on the JFK Causeway or the elevated Highway 361 approaches to the Port Aransas ferry.

Ford Safety Canopy® with Full-Cabin Airbag Coverage

The full-length Safety Canopy side curtain airbags deploy across all three rows in a rollover or severe side impact, complementing dual-stage front airbags, front seat-mounted side airbags, and a driver knee airbag. Ford's Personal Safety System® tailors airbag deployment force to occupant size and belt status, reducing injury risk for the widest range of passengers — from youth sports teams to grandparents.

The 2026 Ford Explorer earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA — the highest score the agency awards — validating an engineering philosophy that puts occupant protection at the center of every structural decision. For Coastal Bend families traveling the region's mix of urban corridors, two-lane ranch roads, causeway crossings, and Gulf-coast ferry approaches, that rating is the most honest specification on the window sticker.

Competitor data from manufacturer specs. Performance figures are program/test results and vary by conditions.

vs. Toyota Grand Highlander

The Toyota Grand Highlander arrives with 265 horsepower and a claimed 7.0-second 0-60 run — respectable numbers until you stack them beside the Explorer ST-Line's 300-hp EcoBoost and class-leading 5,600-lb tow rating that outpulls the Grand Highlander's 5,000-lb ceiling by a full trailer's worth of margin. Toyota's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty mirrors Ford's entry-level coverage, but the Explorer adds 5 years of powertrain protection and 5 years of roadside assistance — a meaningful edge for Coastal Bend families putting real miles between Kingsville and the coast. The Grand Highlander's styling reads sensibly suburban; the ST-Line's black mesh grille, red-stitch interior accents, and unique sport badging read like a vehicle that knows where it's going. For buyers near Corpus Christi who want substance with attitude, the math tips decisively toward Aransas Pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About This Vehicle

What makes the 2026 Ford Explorer ST-Line different from a standard Explorer XLT?

The ST-Line is Ford's sport-appearance and dynamics package layered onto the Explorer XLT foundation, adding exclusive black mesh grille inserts, unique ST-Line exterior and interior badging, red-stitch accent stitching throughout the cabin, Onyx Unique Cloth Insert seating surfaces, and a sport-tuned suspension calibration that sharpens body control without sacrificing ride comfort. You also get the full Equipment Group 300A content — 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, B&O 10-speaker audio, 360-degree camera, heated front seats, and the Class III Trailer Tow Package rated to 5,600 lbs — all included at no extra charge. It's the Explorer that looks like it has somewhere to be.

Yes — the Class III Trailer Tow Package is included as standard equipment on this Explorer ST-Line (Stock #TGB39893, VIN 1FMUK7KH3TGB39893), rated at 5,600 lbs when properly equipped.

The integrated Trailer Sway Control coordinates with the AdvanceTrac® system to keep your trailer tracking true on crosswind-prone corridors like the JFK Causeway and Highway 361 toward Port Aransas.
