The Ford Explorer is Ford’s entry in the midsize SUV segment, with the three row being a beloved entry in the SUV class for just how well it embodies the spirit of “Sport Utility.” In this review of the 2026 Ford Explorer redesign and spec updates, we’ll unveil all the Ford camp has been working on for the beloved SUV.
Yes, absolutely. The 2026 Ford Explorer remains a core player in the three-row SUV segment, continuing its reputation as a versatile and family-focused option. Following the major mid-cycle refresh for 2025, which introduced a more upscale interior, sharper styling, and an updated tech suite, the Explorer carries those improvements forward essentially unchanged for 2026.
The big news is the addition of the new Tremor trim, designed to inject some off-road credibility into the lineup. It features a lifted suspension, a limited-slip rear differential, all-terrain tires, and exclusive 18-inch wheels, giving it extra capability for light trail duty while maintaining on-road comfort.
Inside, the Explorer remains spacious and modern, particularly in the first two rows where comfort and technology take priority. The third row is best reserved for kids or short trips, but the Explorer continues to balance utility with refinement in a way that keeps it competitive in its class.
Fuel economy for the 2026 Ford Explorer sits slightly above average for its class, depending on engine and drivetrain choice. The most efficient setup is the base engine with rear-wheel drive, which returns an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined, while the V6 paired with all-wheel drive dips to around 20 mpg combined.
That said, real-world results may vary. Ford’s turbocharged engines are known to deliver strong performance, but they can also be a bit thirstier than advertised if driven aggressively. To get the best out of the Explorer’s efficiency, it helps to keep a lighter foot on the accelerator.
The 2026 Explorer is mostly identical to its 2025 iteration, meaning you can expect a more than game SUV that retains serious efficiency, impressive cargo capacity, and a serious kick when under duress, and really, do you need anything else out of an SUV? We have the one you want at Jarrett Ford in Port Charlotte.

The Explorer lineup is a lot easier to understand for 2025. Ford cut the clutter, trimmed the extras, and left a clean set of trims that make choosing the right SUV far less challenging.
