New 2026 Ford Explorer
Available at Dams Ford Lincoln in Surrey, BC

Ruggedly Stylish
The 2026 Ford Explorer is a three-row midsize SUV that checks every box. Its recently refreshed exterior styling is moderately muscular, and different trim levels have subtly different characters. The 2026 Ford Explorer can appear as a typically practical contemporary SUV, something sportier, or even a rugged off-roader. However, different powertrains and drivetrains mean the Ford Explorer can walk the walk as magnificently as it talks the talk.
Trim Levels
The 2026 Ford Explorer in Canada is available in five trims: Active, ST-Line, Tremor, ST, and Platinum. The Active trim has 18-inch Sparkle Silver-painted alloy wheels and includes black roof rails and a functional grille. The ST-Line trim upgrades to 20-inch wheels and darker exterior accents for a sportier appearance. The Tremor adds rugged-style bumpers and exterior finishes to reflect its off-road–ready intent. The ST brings performance-oriented exterior styling with appropriate wheel and fascia details. The Platinum trim features premium wheels, refined lighting elements, and upgraded exterior finishing touches, creating a more upscale road presence.


Performance
The standard powertrain for the 2026 Ford Explorer is a 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder engine producing 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. All models come standard with a 10-speed automatic transmission and Intelligent 4WD, featuring six selectable drive modes and hill descent control. For buyers requiring more power or towing capacity, the 3.0-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 is available on the Tremor and ST trims, delivering 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. Properly equipped, the Ford Explorer can tow up to about 2,268 kg (5,000 lb).
For the four-cylinder 4WD variants, official fuel economy estimates are 11.5 L/100 km in city driving, 8.7 L/100 km on the highway, and 10.3 L/100 km combined. For V-6 equipped ST trim models, published estimates are approximately 13.4 L/100 km in the city, 9.8 L/100 km on the highway, and 11.8 L/100 km combined. These powertrain and efficiency choices give buyers a clear decision between efficient everyday driving and higher output for performance or towing needs.
Features & Technology
The 2026 Ford Explorer offers seating for up to seven people, featuring a three-row layout that can be adapted to suit passenger or cargo needs. Lower trims feature durable seat materials and a practical cabin layout, while higher trims introduce upgraded finishes, including available leather-trimmed seating and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. A 13.2-inch central touchscreen delivers infotainment controls, and a digital instrument cluster displays driving data. Smartphone integration and multiple USB-C ports are available across all rows, supporting device connectivity and charging for all passengers. Automatic climate control helps maintain a comfortable cabin environment. The second- and third-row seats fold to expand cargo space, giving flexibility for groceries, luggage, or larger items.
