<p>The 2026 Ford Explorer's off-road credibility is in for a boost when the midsize SUV adds a model with the automaker's popular Tremor badge later this year.</p>
<p>The Explorer Tremor adds gear, including three steel skid plates, increased ground clearance and a Torsen rear differential.</p>
<p>The 2026 Explorer Tremor also gets handsome visual upgrades from bright LED off-road lights across a new grille to "Electric Spice" orange details.</p>

<p>The Tremor should add meaningful capability compared with the Explorer's short-lived Timberline trim, which was about looks more than function. Ford discontinued the Timberline after the 2024 model year.</p>
<p>The Tremor is an outdoorsy model mirroring the performance-oriented ST in the Explorer lineup. ST prices start at $56,770. It's not unreasonable to expect the Tremor in the same neighborhood.</p>

<p>The Explorer is the second Ford SUV to get a Tremor model, following the Expedition. There are also Tremor models of Ford's pickups.</p>
<p>What makes the Explorer Tremor special?</p>
<p>The Explorer Tremor's front corners were carved out so the front wheels can tackle big rocks without damaging the fascia. Selecting a new off-road mode modifies throttle response, shift points, traction control, power distribution, 360-degree trail view and an inclinometer.</p>
