2026 Ford Explorer for Sale in Nashville, TN
The 2026 Ford Explorer continues to redefine expectations in the midsize SUV segment with meaningful updates across its five distinctive trim levels. From the rugged Active to the performance-driven ST, each variant brings unique character while maintaining the Explorer's reputation for versatility and capability.
What's New for 2026
For 2026, the Ford Explorer features a new Tremor model trim. The Tremor features a lifted suspension with a limited-slip differential, all-terrain tires, and special 18-inch wheels. These additions make the new Ford Explorer ready-made for life going off-road near Hendersonville.
Performance Engineering
The 2026 Explorer features two turbocharged EcoBoost engines. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder delivers 300 horsepower and high efficiency, with rear-wheel-drive models reaching up to 29 miles per gallon on the highway and four-wheel-drive versions reaching 20 miles per gallon city/27 miles per gallon highway-this engine pairs with a 10-speed automatic across Active, Platinum, and ST-Line trims. Enthusiasts opting for Tremor and ST trims can select the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 400 horsepower. The ST trim exclusively offers this engine with paddle shifters, while the Tremor boosts off-road capability with a mechanical, limited-slip differential and all-terrain tires.All Explorer models benefit from electric power-assist speed-sensing steering and sophisticated traction management systems.
Interior Comfort and Design
Step inside the 2026 Explorer to find a cabin that balances functionality with premium materials. Most models seat seven in a standard three-row layout. The Active trim features cloth heated captain's chairs with 10-way power adjustment, while upper trims have ActiveX and leather seats. The Platinum trim offers multicontour seats with Active Motion tech, leather diamond perforated inserts, heated and ventilated seats, and driver memory settings. The ST has Miko Suede surfaces with micro-perforations and red stitching, emphasizing performance near Madison.
Cargo flexibility is key, with power-folding third-row seats and rear HVAC controls for passenger comfort. A panoramic fixed glass roof with a power shade adds an open feel for Clarksville drivers to enjoy.
Safety Systems
Every 2026 Explorer comes with a full suite of safety technologies. Standard features include adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking with collision mitigation. The BLIS blind-spot monitoring system monitors adjacent lanes, and rear cross-traffic braking helps during reversing. Higher trim levels add advanced features, such as the Aerial View Camera System for 360-degree visibility, which enhances confidence when maneuvering.
You'll especially value the forward and reverse sensing systems, which make parking easier. The safety airbag system covers the driver's knee, dual-stage front airbags, seat-mounted side airbags, and Safety Canopy curtain airbags that extend through all three rows.
Technology Features
Connectivity defines the modern driving experience, and the 2026 Explorer delivers through its integrated systems. The standard 13.2-inch touchscreen serves as the hub for vehicle controls, navigation, and entertainment. Voice activation enables hands-free operation of key functions, and the integrated navigation system provides turn-by-turn guidance.
Audio options range from the standard six-speaker setup to the premium B&O® Sound System, featuring up to 14 speakers and 980 watts of power. SiriusXM with 360-liter includes a three-month trial subscription, offering extensive programming options. The MyKey system allows owners to set parameters for secondary drivers, including speed limits and audio volume restrictions.
