What's New on the 2026 Ford Explorer

The headline addition to the 2026 Ford Explorer lineup is the new Tremor trim — a purpose-built off-road variant that replaces the discontinued Timberline and brings the most capable off-road hardware ever offered on an Explorer. The Tremor arrives with a one-inch suspension lift, all-terrain tires, underbody skid plates, a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, dedicated off-road auxiliary lights, and distinctive orange exterior accents that set it visually apart from every other Explorer on the road. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is standard on the Tremor, with the available 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 400 horsepower as an upgrade option. Beyond the Tremor, Ford added a panoramic fixed glass roof as an available option across all trim levels for 2026 and updated the BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system with an Automatic Lane Change feature — allowing the system to execute hands-free lane changes on mapped divided highways. Ford also reduced the starting prices on the Active and Platinum trims for 2026, making two of the most popular configurations more accessible than they were a year ago.

The 2026 Ford Explorer Trim Lineup

The 2026 Explorer is available in six configurations spanning a wide range of price points, personalities, and capability levels. The Active 100A at $38,330 RWD is the most affordable entry point — well-equipped with a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Co-Pilot360 standard safety, a Class III Trailer Tow Package, and heated front seats. The Active AWD at $40,330 is the most popular trim in the lineup according to Edmunds, adding AWD for an additional $2,000 over the base RWD price — and for Dallas and Back Mountain drivers who deal with northeastern Pennsylvania winters, it is a worthwhile upgrade. The ST-Line at $45,020 RWD or $47,020 AWD adds sport-inspired exterior styling, unique cloth sport seats with red stitching, a standard Bang & Olufsen 10-speaker audio system, and access to the BlueCruise hands-free highway driving subscription — making it the recommended step up from the Active for buyers who want a sportier aesthetic without entering performance SUV pricing. The Tremor at $48,330 AWD is the new off-road star of the lineup — standard AWD, the 2.3-liter EcoBoost, off-road suspension, all-terrain tires, a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, underbody protection, and trail-ready hardware for buyers who plan to take their Explorer off the pavement. The Platinum at $50,830 RWD or $52,830 AWD is the refined daily driver of the lineup — adding massaging front seats, a panoramic fixed glass roof, a power-folding third row, ambient interior lighting, a Bang & Olufsen 10-speaker audio system, and available adaptive suspension and the 400-horsepower V6 for buyers who want comfort and capability together. The ST at $54,770 RWD or $56,770 AWD is the performance flagship — powered exclusively by the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, reaching 60 mph in just 5.1 seconds, with a sport-tuned suspension, standard PowerFold third-row seats, 21-inch wheels, unique front fascia, and a standard Bang & Olufsen 10-speaker system.

Low APR & 0% Financing on the Ford Explorer

For Dallas and Luzerne County buyers looking to minimize the total cost of owning a new Ford Explorer, manufacturer-sponsored low APR financing through Ford Motor Credit is one of the most impactful available incentives. Periodically offered at rates as low as 0% APR for well-qualified buyers on eligible trims, these offers can translate into meaningful interest savings over a standard loan term — particularly on higher-priced Explorer configurations like the Platinum or ST where the higher purchase price amplifies the benefit of a low rate. Low APR offers rotate monthly, are tied to specific trims and loan terms, and are available to well-qualified buyers. Our finance team will walk you through exactly which APR incentives are currently available on the Explorer trim you are considering and help you compare the total value of a rate offer against any available cash-back alternative. Start your financing application online to see what you qualify for today.

Ford Explorer Lease Offers for Dallas Drivers

Leasing is a popular choice among Dallas and Back Mountain area Explorer buyers who prefer lower monthly payments, enjoy driving a new vehicle every few years, or want the flexibility to step into future Explorer updates — including any powertrain changes — without a long-term purchase commitment. Ford Motor Credit lease offers on the Explorer are available on a rotating selection of eligible trims, with the Active AWD and ST-Line being the most popular lease configurations given their strong residual values and accessible price points. Lease terms typically run 24 to 48 months, with 36 months being the most common structure. Our finance team will help you select a mileage allowance that accurately reflects your real-world driving habits between Dallas, Shavertown, Harveys Lake, Tunkhannock, and Wilkes-Barre — protecting you from end-of-lease overage fees. Apply online or stop in to see us to review current Explorer lease offers.

The Explorer Tremor: Built for Back Mountain Terrain

For Dallas and Back Mountain drivers who spend time on unpaved roads, gravel lanes, or the kind of seasonally challenging terrain that northeastern Pennsylvania delivers in abundance, the new 2026 Explorer Tremor is the most relevant addition to the Explorer lineup in years. The Tremor's one-inch suspension lift, all-terrain tires, Torsen limited-slip rear differential, underbody skid plates, steel front deflector plates, and off-road suspension tuning give it genuine capability on the trail while retaining the Explorer's three-row practicality and 5,000-pound towing capacity. The standard Terrain Management System delivers six drive modes including a dedicated Trail mode, and the available 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 upgrade gives the Tremor 400 horsepower for those who want maximum performance alongside maximum off-road capability. Starting at $48,330 AWD, the Tremor is priced between the ST-Line and Platinum and can be financed through Ford Motor Credit with the same suite of available incentives as every other Explorer trim.

Cash Back & Bonus Cash on the Ford Explorer

In addition to low APR and lease incentives, Ford and Ford Motor Credit periodically offer cash back and bonus cash programs on eligible new Explorer models that directly reduce your purchase price at the point of sale. For Dallas and Back Mountain area buyers, these savings can be applied toward a down payment, used to lower the financed amount, or taken as direct savings off the vehicle price. Available programs include Ford Loyalty Cash for current Ford owners purchasing or leasing a new Explorer, conquest bonus cash for buyers switching from a competing brand such as the Toyota Highlander, Hyundai Palisade, or Mazda CX-90, and trade-in assistance for buyers trading in an existing vehicle. Our finance team will identify every applicable incentive for your situation and build your deal to maximize every available savings opportunity.

Military & First Responder Appreciation Programs

The Dallas and Back Mountain area is home to a proud community of veterans, active-duty military personnel, police officers, firefighters, and emergency responders — and Ford Motor Credit's dedicated appreciation programs are designed to recognize their service on any new Explorer purchase or lease. Ford's Military Appreciation Program provides bonus cash for active-duty military personnel, veterans, retirees, reservists, and qualifying family members. Ford's First Responder Appreciation Program provides bonus cash for qualifying police officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, and other emergency personnel. Both programs can typically be combined with other available Ford Motor Credit incentives for maximum total savings. Mention your eligibility when you apply for financing online or bring your documentation to the dealership so our team can factor it into your deal from the start.

Safety on Every 2026 Ford Explorer

Every 2026 Ford Explorer comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 — a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technology that includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, and a rearview camera. Upper trims add adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, a surround-view camera system, rear parking sensors, and available BlueCruise hands-free highway driving — which is available starting with the ST-Line. The 2026 BlueCruise update adds Automatic Lane Change capability, allowing the system to initiate and complete hands-free lane changes on mapped divided highways, making it a meaningful upgrade for Dallas-area buyers who regularly travel on I-81 or Route 309 between Back Mountain and Wilkes-Barre.
