What's New in the 2026 Ford Explorer?
The 2026 Ford Explorer has only one update for its new model year, but it's perhaps one of the most exciting ones yet for adventurous Norwich drivers. With the addition of a new Tremor trim, this midsize SUV is uniquely well-equipped for off-road adventuring.

Under the hood, the Ford Explorer offers two powerful engine options. The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine delivers an impressive 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, providing a perfect balance of efficiency and performance for your commutes around Norwich. For those seeking even more power, the available 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine produces an exhilarating 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, making it the ideal choice for your adventures beyond Westerly, RI.
