The 2026 Ford Explorer, part of its sixth generation unveiled in 2020, remains one of the most popular and robust options in the midsize SUV space. It is offered in five trims: Base, XLT, Limited, ST, and Platinum, each having a distinct blend of comfort and performance. Engine options range from a 300-hp, 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder to the top-of-the-line 400-hp, 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Multi-terrain driving options with rear-wheel drive as standard or available AWD, allow adventurous off-roading. Inside, the Explorer features a modern and roomy cabin complete with Ford's latest Sync 4 infotainment system and a 10.1-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. For safety, the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of features, including Blind Spot Information System (BLIS), Lane-Keeping System, and Pre-Collision Assist, come as standard, reassuring drivers and passengers alike.
