What's New for the 2026 Ford Explorer?
The Ford Explorer has been a mainstay among SUVs since the 1990s, and plenty of owners still take them off-road for weekend adventures. That demand helped inspire the addition of the Tremor trim for 2026. The Explorer also continues to serve families looking for a reliable, well-equipped SUV.
What Are the 2026 Explorer Trims & Features?
Trims: Active 100A, Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum, ST
The 2026 Explorer comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ and includes Adaptive Cruise Control. Even the Active 100A base model offers helpful features, such as customizable drive modes. Active trims add creature comforts such as a power liftgate and heated front-row seats. Off-road-oriented Tremor models include a Torsen limited-slip rear axle, complete underbody protection, and an off-road-tuned suspension. ST trims emphasize sport with performance brakes featuring red-painted brake calipers, ambient lighting, and red-accent stitching in the cabin.
How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Explorer Have?
The top-performing 3.0L V6 produces up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. The standard 2.3L four-cylinder offers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. Ford has engineered the Explorer for both on-road refinement and off-road durability, especially in Tremor guise.
What Safety Features Does the 2026 Explorer Include?
Co-Pilot360 is standard on every trim. It includes Adaptive Cruise Control, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System), and Ford's lane-keeping system. Together, these features monitor the road for potential hazards and can assist the driver with steering or speed control when necessary.
