Picture of Ford Explorer

Ford has relaunched the Explorer’s off-road trim level for 2026, but kept almost everything else the same.

The Explorer was one of the first truly family-friendly SUVs, and continues in that role today as a midsize three-row crossover competing against the likes of the Chevrolet Traverse, the Honda Pilot, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Nissan Pathfinder, and the Toyota Highlander. The current-generation Explorer has been around since the 2020 model year, and the big news for 2026 is a Tremor model that replaces the Timberline as the most off-road-capable Explorer. The available BlueCruise driver-assist system also gets an update.

Verdict: Ford’s SUV stalwart still gets the job done, but lacks personality unless you go for the ST or Tremor models.

4.3 Overall rating

(1,353 reviews)

Customers say

The Ford Explorer has consistently impressed owners across its model years for its spacious interior, comfort, and strong performance, making it a top choice for families and those needing versatility in an SUV. Many drivers appreciate the powerful engine options, high-tech features, and ample cargo space. However, concerns about fuel economy, handling on certain models, and specific comfort issues have been commonly noted. Overall, the Explorer stands out for its reliability and practicality, though some drivers wish for improvements in gas mileage and additional features.
