The 2026 Ford Explorer is the ideal SUV for your next adventure, with an exterior that exudes both rugged capability and polished sophistication.
Each Explorer trim boasts its own unique design elements that make a bold statement. The blacked-out exterior details on the Tremor, including 18-inch high gloss black-painted aluminum wheels, declare its off-road readiness. In contrast, the Platinum trim sparkles with 20-inch luster nickel-painted aluminum wheels and satin aluminum accents for a premium appearance. The ST-Line and ST trims amp up the Explorer's sportiness with eye-catching wheels, red brake calipers, and black exterior trim.
No matter which 2026 Explorer trim you select, a full suite of exterior features elevate its functionality and visual appeal. Auto high-beam LED headlamps, LED signature lighting, and fog lamps brilliantly illuminate the road ahead. Heated power mirrors (with memory and auto-dimming on some trims) provide excellent visibility. And touches like silver-painted front and rear skid plate elements, a bold black mesh grille insert, and dual chrome exhaust tips hint at the SUV's impressive performance capabilities.
With its sizable dimensions—an overall length just under 200 inches and max width of 78.9 inches—the Explorer makes a commanding presence on the road while offering generous interior space. Yet despite its size, this 3-row SUV is nimble enough to navigate everyday driving and rugged enough to handle your outdoor escapades. A power liftgate provides easy access to the expansive cargo area, while available roof rack side rails let you bring along oversized gear like kayaks, skis, or camping equipment.
