Ford announces powerful 2026 Explorer Tremor off-road vehicle

Ford's CEO, Jim Farley, has announced an exciting new off-road vehicle set to launch in 2026. This model is named the Explorer Tremor and it will be an upgraded version of the popular 2025 Explorer. The Explorer Tremor is designed for off-road enthusiasts. It will feature a powerful 3.0-liter V6 engine and a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. The previous model, the 2025 Explorer, was well-received for its spaciousness and family-friendly design. Farley showcased the new model at the 2024 Chicago Auto Show, and he also revealed it on social media. In a tweet, he posted a picture of the vehicle's back covered in dust, with the Tremor logo visible. The tweet quickly gained attention, reaching nearly 40,000 views. Many users expressed excitement and shared their thoughts on the new design. The Explorer Tremor is expected to have advanced technology, including a 12.3-inch digital dashboard and a 13.2-inch infotainment screen with Google built-in. The V6 engine can produce 300 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, promising impressive performance. Currently, the Explorer lineup includes four models: Active, ST-Line, Platinum, and ST. The Explorer Active starts at $39,855, while the ST model is priced at $54,260. The announcement comes amid industry concerns about potential tariffs from the Trump administration that could affect U.S. auto manufacturing. Farley warned that these tariffs could negatively impact the economy significantly.
