Performance and Capability

The 2026 Ford Explorer offers a choice of powerful and efficient engines. The base engine is a 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder, delivering 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. For those craving even more power, the available 3.0-liter EcoBoost six-cylinder engine produces an impressive 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque in the ST and Tremor trims. Both engines are paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission.

When properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds, making it a capable choice for hauling boats, campers, or trailers. The SUV also offers a maximum payload capacity of 1,718 pounds, allowing you to bring along all your gear for your East Hartford adventures.

The Explorer's performance extends beyond its powertrain. With its responsive steering, stable handling, and available all-wheel drive, this SUV provides a confident driving experience in various conditions. The ST trim takes performance to the next level with its sport-tuned suspension and unique styling elements, while the Tremor trim equips the Explorer for off-road excursions around West Hartford.

Fuel Efficiency

Despite its powerful performance, the 2026 Ford Explorer achieves impressive fuel efficiency ratings. With the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine and rear-wheel drive, the Explorer delivers an EPA-estimated 21 mpg city and 28 mpg highway. Opting for all-wheel drive slightly impacts fuel economy, resulting in 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. These ratings make the Explorer a smart choice for daily commutes in Hartford, CT or weekend road trips.

Interior Comfort and Versatility

Step inside the 2026 Ford Explorer, and you'll find a spacious and well-appointed interior that prioritizes comfort and versatility. The SUV offers seating for up to seven passengers, with available second-row captain's chairs for added comfort. The third row provides ample space for adults, making it a great choice for growing families.

When it comes to cargo, the Explorer excels with its flexible storage solutions. Behind the third row, you'll find 18.2 cubic feet of cargo space, perfect for everyday essentials. Folding down the third row expands the capacity to 47.9 cubic feet, while folding both the second and third rows provides a cavernous 87.8 cubic feet of space for larger items. Whether you're packing for a camping trip or tackling a home improvement project, the Explorer has you covered.
