Why it stands out

The 2026 Ford Explorer continues to impress with its combination of spaciousness, comfort, and safety. This midsize three-row SUV stands out particularly due to the introduction of the off-road-oriented Tremor model, which elevates ground clearance to 8.7 inches, making it the most capable Explorer yet. Enhancements like all-terrain tires, rugged styling, and advanced driver-assist technologies further solidify its appeal. More than just a family vehicle, the Explorer's optional twin-turbo V6 engine delivers 400 horsepower, providing robust performance on both highways and trails. With a suite of safety features that earned it an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating, it offers peace of mind for families. Despite its strengths, some may find the interior design a bit bland compared to competitors, but the functionality and technology integration remain solid.
