2026 Ford Explorer: Refreshed & Ready for Adventure

For decades, the Ford Explorer has been the standard for powerful, family-friendly SUVs. As the 2026 models arrive at Bob Bell Ford around Baltimore and Annapolis, shoppers will be pleasantly surprised by the model upgrades that add more user-friendly tech and specifications. We’re confident you’ll appreciate the intuitive tech, roomy interior, and latest specials and incentives.

Standing Out with the New Tremor Trim

The 2026 Ford Explorer stands out from the crowd with the new Tremor trim. Ford engineered the model for off-roading with a lifted suspension, a limited-slip differential, 18-inch wheels, interior and exterior Tremor badging, front and rear skid plates, and all-terrain tires.

The Tremor trim is also ready for daily driving with comfort features like ventilated front seats, a heated second-row bench seat, a surround-view camera system, a 10-speaker stereo, and red-stitched cloth upholstery.

Family-Friendly Interior Technology

Every 2026 Ford Explorer comes with an exceptional collection of standard interior technology that begins with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 13.2-inch infotainment touchscreen. The touchscreen provides wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android™ Auto, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, and Bluetooth® connectivity. Eight USB ports and three 12-volt outlets are scattered in convenient locations around the three rows.

With the Ford Digital Experience, drivers can access Google and Amazon apps. When the Explorer is parked, passengers can watch videos, play Google Play games, and browse the internet on the 13.2-inch screen. All trims except the entry-level Active have a 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system.

Ford cares about safety, so it outfits the 2026 Explorer with driver-assistance technology. Standard tech includes Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Rear Parking Sensors, Forward Collision Warning, Pedestrian Detection, Lane-Departure Warning, Lane-Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and LED Headlights with Automatic High Beams. Ford’s semi-autonomous driving technology, Blue Cruise, is available on most trims.

Roomy Interior for Passengers & Gear

Ford designed the original Explorer to be comfortable, roomy, and ready for daily driving. To accommodate modern families, Ford offers the 2026 Explorer with flexible seating for six or seven passengers. The entry-level Active trim comes with a pair of captain’s chairs in the second row and a two-passenger folding third-row bench. Beginning with the ST-Line trim, shoppers can choose a second-row bench seat to add a seventh seat to the Explorer.

Because cargo space matters for today’s drivers, Ford designed the 2026 Explorer with versatile space. With the third row upright, the Explorer has 16.3 cubic feet of space. When the third row is folded, the cargo space increases to 46 cubic feet. With the second and third rows folded, the Explorer’s cargo area becomes a cavernous 85.8 cubic feet and is long enough to bring home pieces of 8-foot lumber.
