Performance Engineering and Handling
An off-road performer is determined by the power under the hood. The 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor offers two engine options: the standard 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 and the 3.0L EcoBoost V6. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive.
2.3L EcoBoost I-4 with Auto Start-Stop Technology
The I-4 engine is standard on the Ford Explorer Active, ST-Line, Tremor, and Platinum trim levels. It delivers 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. A special feature of this engine is its Auto Start-Stop technology, which shuts the engine off when the Explorer’s battery is charging, the engine is still warming up, or you are using heat or air conditioning.
3.0L EcoBoost V6 Engine with Auto Start-Stop Technology
The EcoBoost V6 is all muscle, capable of delivering up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is available on the Tremor model and comes standard on the Ford Explorer ST.
