2026 Ford Explorer Tremor First Drive: Who Are You Callin’ a Crossover?
Never thought I'd see an Explorer Tremor. Motor Trend called it a good first try but it needs more ground clearance and a better suspension. It's also pretty damn pricey and you see that when you get to the engine choices. Pricing starts at $50,160 including destination and Ford offers 2 engine choices: the 2.3-liter 300 horse Ecoboost I4 is standard while a 400 horse twin-turbo V6 is an option. But if you want the V6, Ford forces you to get an $11,850 Tremor Ultimate package that's bundled with stuff like a pano roof and BlueCruise. So if you want a V6 in this thing you have to drop nearly $63k to get it. At that price, who in their right mind would choose this over actual, legit off-roaders that are cheaper like a Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road, something around the same price like a base Land Rover Defender 110 or hell even Ford's own Bronco Badlands which even with the V6 and Sasquatch package is still over $3,300 cheaper. Ford is nuts. #cars
