TREMOR®

For the Ones Who See Every Detour As a Scenic Route

Find a 2026 Explorer® that fits, including the brand-new, untamed Explorer® TREMOR®. Go where adventure calls. The 2026 Explorer Tremor with the available 3.0L EcoBoost® engine is the most powerful off-road Explorer ever. And with off-road tuned suspension, underbody protection, and a Torsen® limited-slip rear axle for enhanced traction and stability, you can use all that power to get almost anywhere.

Stand out on and off the beaten path with model-exclusive design elements, including off-road auxiliary lights and daring orange accents. Steel deflector plates shield critical undercarriage components from the ravages of the trail. The suspension is specially tuned for enhanced off-road performance, with increased ride height to help you rise above rocky terrain. The standard Torsen® limited-slip rear axle helps improve traction in even the most challenging conditions.
