Analytical buyers need exact numbers to make an informed decision. The 2026 Ford Explorer is engineered to deliver precise power and calculated utility across a versatile lineup of six distinct trim levels. These trims include the Active 100A, Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum, and ST. This technical guide breaks down the precise data you need to know.
The Explorer utilizes advanced EcoBoost turbocharging to extract maximum efficiency and power from its engines.
| Powertrain Specification | 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 | 3.0L EcoBoost V6 |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Trims | Active 100A, Active, ST-Line, Tremor | ST, Platinum (Available) |
| Peak Horsepower | 300 HP @ 5,500 rpm | 400 HP @ 5,500 rpm |
| Peak Torque | 310 lb-ft @ 3,500 rpm | 415 lb-ft @ 3,500 rpm |
| Transmission | 10-Speed Automatic | 10-Speed Automatic |
| Max Towing | 5,000 lbs (when properly equipped) | 5,000 lbs (when properly equipped) |
The 10-speed automatic transmission features optimized gear steps. This keeps the engine in its ideal power band during heavy acceleration or when merging onto high-speed interstates. The newly reintroduced Tremor trim pairs the 2.3L engine with specialized off-road suspension components and increased ground clearance for rough terrain.

A common logistical question is whether the Explorer will fit in a standard residential garage. The footprint of the vehicle balances interior passenger volume with exterior maneuverability. Here are the exact dimensions for the standard Active trim.
These measurements maximize interior volume, providing up to 85.8 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. Review our New Inventory to see available configurations.
