Why it stands out

The 2026 Ford Explorer continues to be a robust choice in the midsize SUV segment, bolstered by its versatile three-row seating capacity, making it family-friendly. The newest feature, the Tremor model, enhances off-road capabilities significantly compared to previous iterations, combining rugged aesthetics with functionality, like increased ground clearance and all-terrain tires. Its powertrain options, including a standard 2.3-liter turbocharged engine producing 300 horsepower and an optional twin-turbo V6 generating 400 horsepower, offer a blend of performance and capability. Although the Explorer is practical, it faces criticism for its conventional design, which may lack the visual appeal some buyers desire. Safety ratings are exceptional, with the Explorer achieving high marks across various tests and featuring advanced driver-assist technologies, which collectively elevate its market position.
