The 2026 Ford Explorer makes an impact on the streets of Macomb, Illinois, built for drivers who want a capable, well-rounded SUV that brings high-end comfort and forward-thinking technology. Whether you're hauling the family to weekend activities, navigating daily errands, or hitting up trails, the Explorer continues to deliver a balanced mix of practicality and refinement. It's a model that has earned its reputation over the years, and the 2026 version keeps that momentum going strong.
Trim Options to Fit Your Lifestyle
The 2026 Ford Explorer comes in several diverse trims, so you’ll have flexibility to choose a configuration that inspires you and fits your budget. From the entry-level Active 100A to the premium 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum™ trim, there's a version built for just about every driver, with the performance-focused ST taking the top spot. The Platinum™ trim is indulgent, welcoming you with heated, ventilated, massaging front seats, available premium leather upholstery, and standard BlueCruise® hands-free driving. If luxury isn’t your top priority, but getting dirty off-road is, the Tremor® trim is equipped from the factory with a limited-slip differential, off-road suspension, unique tow hooks, and much more to dominate any landscape. Each step up the trim ladder adds meaningful upgrades rather than just cosmetic changes, making it worth your time to explore the full lineup. The performance-focused top-tier ST trim thrills with its 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 that delivers 385 hp and 415 lbs.-ft. of torque, performance brakes with red calipers, and sport-tuned suspension, along with heated, ventilated ActiveX® seating with Miko inserts and ST logos in red.
Technology and Comfort on Every Drive
One of the most compelling reasons to consider the 2026 Ford Explorer is the available technology. Ford's Co-Pilot360® driver-assist features are designed to make every trip feel more confident and controlled. Drivers can also take advantage of Google Built-in with features like Google Maps and a Google Gemini voice-command assistant, media streaming, and an in-vehicle Wi-Fi® hotspot through the Ford Connectivity Package. This cabin seats up to 7 passengers and provides up to 85.8 cu. ft. of cargo space for all your adventure gear and the family dog.
Why the Explorer Stands Out in Its Class
The 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum offers upscale features, while the ST and Tremor® add higher-performance and off-road-focused capabilities to the lineup. But even the base trims are well-equipped, which speaks to how Ford has approached this generation of the Explorer. With available advanced technology, multiple powertrain options, and up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity, the Explorer offers a broad range of capabilities for different drivers.
