Key Features of the 2026 Explorer

Performance & Power

The standard engine is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 that produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. If you want more muscle, the 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 delivers 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.

Both engines use Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifting and confident acceleration. Rear-wheel drive gives the Explorer a planted feel, while available Intelligent 4WD adds confidence in rough weather or on loose surfaces. And, when properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds.

Comfort & Interior

Three usable rows mean you’re not forcing passengers to squeeze. The cabin offers solid materials, thoughtful storage, and easy access to the controls you use most. Long drives don’t feel like a chore, even with a full crew traveling through Stone Mountain or Lawrenceville.

Technology

The touchscreen is clear, responsive, and positioned where you can reach it without stretching. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, and available upgrades let you personalize how much tech you want.

Safety

Ford Co-Pilot360 brings built-in awareness to every trim. Blind spot warnings, lane guidance, and pre-collision assistance help watch the road right along with you.

Fuel Economy

You want an SUV that isn’t going to punish you at the pump. The Explorer gives solid numbers for a three-row vehicle:

• 2.3L EcoBoost (RWD): 21 mpg city / 28 mpg highway
• 2.3L EcoBoost (4WD): 20 mpg city / 27 mpg highway
• 3.0L EcoBoost V6 (ST): 18 mpg city / 24 mpg highway

Note: These are current EPA estimates for the returning powertrains — Ford has not yet released any 2026-specific changes that alter them.

Why the 2026 Explorer Makes Sense

The 2026 Explorer is made to handle life’s busy schedule with ease—practical for busy schedules, long trips, and light towing without feeling oversized. With strong resale value and Five Star Ford Stone Mountain’s Lifetime Powertrain Warranty that kicks in after the factory warranty ends, it’s a smart buy.
