The 2026 Ford Explorer: Ready to Roam
Do you enjoy exploring unfamiliar areas and trying new things with your family? If so, the 2026 Ford Explorer is for you and your brood. This three-row Ford SUV is as eager to hit the road or trail as it is to transport your family in style and comfort. Ford of Cookeville is where you can see how family-friendly and adventure-ready the Ford Explorer is.
Power and Performance
Two engines are present within the 2026 Ford Explorer lineup, and they start with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. A turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine is standard for the Ford Explorer ST and optional for other models, including the off-road-ready Ford Explorer Tremor. Total system output for SUVs with the latter powerplant is 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
More rugged than its brethren, the Ford Explorer Tremor is the replacement for the much-revered Ford Explorer Timberline trim. This model has almost an inch more ground clearance than the 7.9 inches that other Ford Explorer trims have. Skid plates, all-terrain tires, and a limited-slip rear differential are all standard for the Ford Explorer Tremor.
Technology Features
Even if you spend as much time exploring the outdoors with your family as you do with them in urban environments, you still want the latest technology features at your fingertips. Luckily, the 2026 Ford Explorer is suitably loaded with desirable and useful tech features. Those features include:
- 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity
- Amazon Alexa and Bluetooth® integration
- 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster
- Wi-Fi® hotspot
- Google-based navigation
- Voice recognition
Safety Features
Laudable safety features are standard for new Ford SUVs, including the sought-after 2026 Ford Explorer. The SUV has a Driver Attention Monitor that will warn you if you’re too fatigued or distracted to drive safely. Lane-Centering Assist will help you maintain a position in the middle of your markers.
Adaptive cruise control will maintain a static distance between your SUV and the vehicle you’re following. Rear parking sensors make it easy to park your vehicle. The Blind Spot Monitor will issue an alert if there’s something in your way as you change lanes or travel in reverse.
