The Ford Explorer has been one of those go-to SUVs because it does a little bit of everything without overcomplicating things. For 2026, Ford isn’t reinventing the wheel, but it is giving the lineup a new Tremor trim for buyers who want more off-road ability without sacrificing everyday comfort. Whether you’re hauling people, gear, or just need a family SUV that won’t feel out of place on a weekend trail, the Explorer still checks a lot of boxes.
