What's New for the 2026 Ford Explorer

The 2026 Explorer introduces several notable updates and enhancements. The ST-Line and Active trims join the lineup, offering buyers two distinct flavors of sportiness and outdoor readiness, respectively. A larger 13.2-inch touchscreen now comes standard, providing intuitive access to the latest SYNC infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Explorer also gains BlueCruise hands-free driving capability as an option on select trims. This best-selling SUV is back and ready for whatever adventure you have in mind with more features and power than ever before.

Powerful and Efficient Performance

Regardless of the adventure you have in mind, the 2026 Explorer offers more than enough power to conquer the road. This SUV offers a choice of two capable EcoBoost engines. The standard 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four produces a stout 300 horsepower, providing ample motivation for everyday driving around Langhorne. For those seeking more muscle, the available 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder, standard on the ST and Tremor, churns out an impressive 400 horsepower. Both engines pair with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission.

Depending on trim, the Explorer comes with your choice of rear-wheel drive or Intelligent 4WD for confidence-inspiring traction in varying conditions. When properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds - perfect for hauling a small boat or camper for a weekend trip to Lawrenceville. Each model comes with the agility and capability to tackle the highways and trails with ease.

Spacious and Well-Appointed Interior

The interior of the new Explorer is where this SUV truly shines. Inside, the Explorer provides a welcoming environment with upscale amenities and intuitive tech. The cabin offers three rows of comfortable seating, with available captain's chairs in the second row for a more premium experience. On higher trims, you'll find luxurious touches like perforated leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and a 14-speaker B&O sound system.

With more than enough space for your passengers, the new Explorer is ready to haul your most valuable cargo. The Explorer's cargo area provides generous storage space for luggage, gear, or supplies for your next DIY project in Princeton. With all seats in use, you'll have 18.2 cubic feet behind the third row. Fold the second and third rows flat, and cargo capacity expands to a cavernous 87.8 cubic feet.

Bold Exterior Styling

This SUV returns with a recent design that is ready to turn heads all over town. The 2026 Explorer boasts a muscular yet refined exterior design. Up front, available LED headlights flank a distinctive grille that varies by trim, from the blacked-out mesh on the ST to the chrome-accented design on the Platinum. Sculpted bodysides, a sloping roofline, and powerful wheel arch cladding contribute to the Explorer's athletic stance.

Wheel options range from 18 to 21 inches, with designs tailored to each trim's personality. The ST-Line sports Ebony-painted alloys, while the Platinum receives bright machined aluminum rims with dark painted pockets for a premium look. There are many customizable options to help you get the Explorer model you want.

Advanced Safety Technologies

Ford is committed to safety, and the new Explorer is loaded with features to protect you and your passengers. The 2026 Explorer comes standard with the Ford Co-Pilot360 bundle of driver assistance technologies. Every Explorer includes Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Lane Keeping System, Rear View Camera, and Auto High Beam Headlamps. Available features include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and Evasive Steering Assist.
