What's New for the 2026 Ford Explorer?
Ford's Explorer has a strong legacy among SUV enthusiasts, dating back to the 1990s. They also know that a few rugged individualists out there like to take out on the weekends for some serious off-roading. That's why they added a brand new Tremor trim to the lineup for the 2026 model year. As always, the Explorer also caters to families who demand the best from life.
