The latest Ford Explorer brings exceptional versatility and capability to Madisonville shoppers at Adrian Ford of Madisonville.
This mid-size Ford SUV delivers impressive performance, advanced technology, and spacious comfort for families seeking their next adventure vehicle.
Performance
The 2026 Ford Explorer offers two powerful engine options to match your driving needs.
The standard 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder layout produces 300 hp, delivering confident acceleration while maintaining efficiency. For those seeking maximum performance, select trims feature a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged six-cylinder generating an impressive 400 hp.
Both engines pair with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission, and drivers can choose between rear-wheel drive (RWD) for optimal fuel economy or automatic full-time four-wheel drive (4WD) for enhanced traction. As such, the new Ford Explorer achieves up to 29 mpg highway with the 2.3-liter engine in RWD configuration.
