Power and Performance You Can Trust
Under the hood, the Explorer comes standard with a turbocharged 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission. This combination offers responsive acceleration for passing on the highway, towing recreational equipment, or navigating hilly roads. For drivers who need more strength, a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 is available in select trims, delivering extra muscle for heavy loads or spirited drives.
The available four-wheel drive increases traction and stability, making it well-suited to Canadian winters and challenging roads. The drive mode system lets you tailor the vehicle's performance for conditions ranging from snow and ice to sand and gravel.
Space and Comfort for Every Passenger
Inside, the Explorer offers three rows of seating for up to seven passengers. The cabin is designed for comfort and practicality, with plenty of legroom and flexible cargo options. Fold down the rear seats and you open up a large, flat space for gear, groceries, or luggage. Premium materials, modern styling, and an intuitive layout give it an upscale feel without sacrificing function.
Technology features like smartphone connectivity, available navigation, and clear digital displays keep you informed and connected. Voice controls help you manage settings without taking your eyes off the road.
Built for Canadian Conditions
From snowy city streets to rugged cottage trails, the Explorer's solid construction and capable drivetrain are ready for the task. All-season versatility means you can rely on it year-round for both work and play.
Why the Explorer Stands Out
The 2026 Ford Explorer is a versatile, confident SUV that blends practicality with modern comfort. It is as ready for family life as it is for adventure.
