The 2026 Ford Explorer at a Glance
Performance

To call the capabilities of the Explorer sufficient would be a disservice to this SUV — they're nothing short of impressive. There's a lot to admire about the Explorer, but perhaps nothing more than the estimated fuel economy of 20 city/29 highway/24 combined MPG. Even with all this capability in tow, the Explorer still achieves optimal fuel economy. The performance features of the Explorer don't end there. You'll also enjoy these:
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- 5,000 lbs of towing capacity
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Trailer Coverage
Technology

Like any good SUV, the new Explorer can be summed up in three words: smarter, not harder. Components like these prove the Explorer is all about its in-cabin occupants. You'll find more available technology specs of this SUV below:
- Perimeter Alarm
- Lane-Keeping System
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert
Design

A great SUV makes a strong impression when you first see it, and that carries through to the first time you see inside it. A capacious 86 cu ft of storage room awaits inside the cabin of the Explorer. Interior flexibility is a given in the Explorer — dashing looks are just another added bonus. The following design features are also available for this model:
- Available Ambient Lighting
- Power Liftgate
- Panoramic Fixed-Glass Roof with Power Sunshade
