2026 Ford Explorer (R) Overview

The Family SUV
Clarksville
Depends On

The Explorer has earned its place in American driveways for over three decades -- not because of clever marketing, but because it genuinely works. Three rows. Real towing capacity. A tech suite that keeps pace with what people actually use. And now, for 2026, a brand-new Tremor off-road trim that takes the Explorer further off pavement than any Explorer that came before it.

In Clarksville, a three-row SUV isn't a luxury -- it's a practical answer to APSU carpool, Fort Campbell family life, weekend trips to the Cumberland River, and the kind of unpredictable Tennessee weather that reminds you why all-wheel drive matters. The Explorer fits that life well.

Every 2026 Explorer comes standard with a 13.2-inch touchscreen, Co-Pilot360 safety suite, wireless Apple CarPlay, and a Class III tow package. You're not buying a stripped base model and optioning your way to useful. It starts capable.

Exterior

Bold Where It Counts.
Practical the Rest.

The 2026 Explorer's exterior is confident without being loud. Wide-set LED headlights, a sculpted hood, and available 21-inch wheels on the ST give each trim a different personality. The Tremor earns its Bright Orange badges and lifted stance through functional hardware, not body kits.

  • Available panoramic fixed glass roof -- new for 2026, on all trims

Three Rows Done
the Right Way.

Seating for seven is a spec that's easy to promise and hard to deliver. The Explorer's cabin uses the space intelligently -- usable third-row headroom, 87.8 cubic feet of cargo when both rows fold, and available multicontour massaging seats in the Platinum that make long drives from Clarksville to Nashville feel shorter than they are.

  • Seating for 6 (captain's chairs) or 7 (bench) -- trim-dependent
  • 87.8 cu. ft. max cargo with both rows folded
  • PowerFold third-row seats (standard on ST / Platinum, available on Tremor)

Safety & Driver Assist

Ford Co-Pilot360(R)
Standard on Every Trim

The full Co-Pilot360 Assist+ suite comes standard across the 2026 Explorer lineup -- not as a trim-level upgrade. That matters in Clarksville where you're navigating busy interchanges on I-24, school zones on Highway 41-A, and rural roads once you get west toward Stewart County.

Pre-Collision Assist
Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection. Works in city traffic and at highway speeds. Also includes reverse automatic emergency braking.
Adaptive Cruise Control
Stop-and-go adaptive cruise that adjusts speed to maintain a safe following distance, and brings the vehicle to a complete stop in traffic if needed.
BLIS(R) Blind Spot Monitoring
Alerts when vehicles enter your blind zone. Also includes cross-traffic alert and rear automatic braking for parking lot maneuvering with a longer three-row vehicle.
Lane-Centering Steering
Active steering input that keeps the vehicle centered in its lane on the highway. Pairs with adaptive cruise for reduced fatigue on long drives.
360-Degree Camera (Available)
Available on ST-Line and above (via package on ST-Line; standard on Tremor, Platinum, ST). Surrond view with split-screen helps place a full-size three-row SUV in tight spaces.
Side-Wind Stabilization
Standard on every Explorer. Designed to counteract high crosswinds that affect a tall three-row vehicle's path -- particularly relevant on open Tennessee interstate stretches.

Common Questions

2026 Ford Explorer FAQ

What does the 2026 Ford Explorer start at?
The Active 100A starts at $38,465 including the $1,595 destination fee. The lineup runs up to the ST at $54,905 RWD. Every single trim includes a Class III tow package, Co-Pilot360 Assist+, and a 13.2-inch touchscreen -- you're not paying for basics on top of sticker. Call Jenkins & Wynne Ford at 931-441-8041 for current in-stock pricing on specific builds.
How many passengers does the 2026 Explorer hold?
Up to seven with the available bench second row, or six with captain's chairs for easier third-row access. The ST trim added an optional second-row bench for 2026. Three rows in a vehicle this size is genuinely usable -- not just a technical spec. Headroom and legroom in the third row is reasonable for adult passengers on shorter trips.
What is the Explorer Tremor -- and is it new?
Yes, the Tremor is brand new for 2026. It replaces the discontinued Timberline and takes the Explorer farther off pavement than any previous Explorer. Standard Intelligent 4WD, a 1-inch suspension lift (8.7 inches of ground clearance), a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, steel skid plates, and all-terrain tires are included. It starts at $48,465 with 4WD standard -- and it's the right choice if you're planning to use those capabilities, not just look like it.
Does the 2026 Explorer have BlueCruise hands-free driving?
BlueCruise 1.5 is available on ST-Line and Tremor, and standard on Platinum and ST. On compatible divided highways -- "Blue Zones" -- the system manages steering, braking, and acceleration hands-free. New for 2026: Automatic Lane Change lets BlueCruise detect slower traffic, initiate a pass, and return to your lane without manual input. On I-24 toward Nashville or I-65 toward Bowling Green, it's genuinely useful.
Does Jenkins & Wynne offer military pricing for Fort Campbell families?
Yes. We work with Ford's military appreciation pricing program and have supported Fort Campbell families for decades. Active duty service members, veterans, and qualifying immediate family members may be eligible for additional incentives on the Explorer. Call us at 931-441-8041 -- we'll walk through every incentive available to you.
How much can the 2026 Ford Explorer tow?
Every 2026 Explorer tows up to 5,000 pounds. The Class III Tow Package -- including the frame-mounted hitch receiver, seven-wire harness, and four-pin and seven-pin trailer connectors -- is standard across the entire lineup. That covers most boats, small camper trailers, and utility trailers. You don't need a specialty package to get the tow hitch.
What safety features come standard on the 2026 Explorer?
Every Explorer includes Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ standard: pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, BLIS blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-centering steering, automatic high-beam headlamps, rear parking sensors, and side-wind stabilization. Higher trims add a 360-degree camera, front parking sensors, and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving.
Can I trade in my current vehicle at Jenkins & Wynne Ford?
Yes, and we take all makes and models. We'll appraise your vehicle fairly and apply the value toward your new Explorer purchase or financing. We've been doing business in Clarksville long enough to know that a fair trade-in builds the kind of relationship that lasts -- which is kind of the point for a third-generation family dealership. Walk in during business hours or call 931-441-8041 to get started.
How do I schedule a test drive at Jenkins & Wynne Ford?
Call 931-441-8041, visit our website, or walk in during business hours Monday through Saturday. We stock Explorer models across multiple trim levels. Tell us whether you're curious about the Tremor, the ST, or just want to see which trim makes sense for your family -- we'll get you in the right vehicle for a meaningful test drive, not just a loop around the parking lot.
