2025 Ford Explorer Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Ford's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Ford Explorer? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your Explorer towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Explorer is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Explorer's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Ford Explorer transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Ford. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can Ford Explorer transmission fluid leak? Yes. Ford Explorer transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

  • Can I still drive my Ford Explorer if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your Explorer with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
