- The 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor will get all-terrain tires, a lifted journey peak, and different path gear
Ford will add an off-road specialist trim to its Explorer SUV lineup for 2026. The Explorer Tremor will get path gear like all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels and one inch of added journey peak.
In Ford nomenclature, a Raptor is a high-speed off-road beast, and a Tremor is a trail-oriented mannequin extra succesful than different trim ranges however much less aggressive and costly than a Raptor. Ford hasn’t revealed a value for the Explorer Tremor, however we anticipate it to fit in the midst of the lineup. The 2025 mannequin in showrooms at this time begins at $41,350, with costs rising into the mid-$50,000 vary.
The Explorer noticed a big makeover for 2025. However the remake left it with no devoted off-road mannequin after the previous Timberline mannequin left the lineup after the 2024 mannequin 12 months. Ford teased this one in March.
The Tremor fills that hole. The next journey peak provides it higher method, departure, and breakover angles. An ordinary limited-slip differential provides the all-wheel-drive (AWD) system added traction when the bottom will get slippery. Entrance and rear skid plates give the powertrain added safety for rock crawling.
Ford says the suspension has been recalibrated for off-roading, and now “contains specifically tuned springs and sway bars.”
A turbocharged 4-cylinder engine making 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque is commonplace, however patrons can go for a turbocharged V6 making 400 hp and 415 lb-ft for an added value.
You’ll spot an Explorer Tremor simply. Ford provides it tow hooks, Tremor badges, a grille accent bar, and wheel particulars in a shiny bronze shade it calls “electrical spice.”
The identical shade seems inside in contrast-color stitching.
