The Ford Explorer has always carried a strong name, and over the years that name has grown into something Canadians trust. From its early days as a simple family SUV to the refined and capable vehicle it is today, the Explorer has continued to evolve with time. The 2026 Ford Explorer reflects everything Ford has learned along the way. It feels more polished, more capable, and more comfortable, while still holding on to the strong character that made it popular in the first place. This is an SUV that feels built for real life, shaped by experience, and designed to fit naturally into modern routines.

 Effortless Strength Beneath the Hood

For those who want more muscle, a 3.0- litre EcoBoost V6 is available and delivers up to 400 horsepower and roughly 415 lb ft of torque, giving the Explorer a bold and responsive feel. Fuel efficiency remains practical with 11.9 L/100 km in the city and 8.7 L/100 km on the highway.When towing is needed, up to 5,600 lb can be handled with confidence, making trailers and equipment feel manageable and controlled.
