Ford Reveals 2026 Explorer Tremor With New Tech

Ford has unveiled the 2026 Explorer Tremor, an off-road-focused trim replacing the discontinued Timberline and offering enhanced trail capability while maintaining family SUV comfort. The Tremor features a one-inch lift, recalibrated off-road suspension, three steel skid plates, a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, and 18-inch all-terrain tires for improved ground clearance and traction. Visual enhancements include 'Electric Spice' orange accents, auxiliary off-road lights, and unique badging. Inside, the SUV debuts Ford's Digital Experience, Copilot 360 Assist 2.0, and the BlueCruise 1.5 hands-free driving system. Customers can choose between a 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.3L four-cylinder engine or an optional 400-horsepower twin-turbo 3.0L V6, both with standard all-wheel drive and a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. Pricing has not yet been announced but is expected to fall in the upper-middle range of the Explorer lineup.
