2026 Ford Explorer Trim Levels

Sitting as the base model for the Ford Explorer is Active. We know that this is the kind of trim that has something for everyone in your life to fully enjoy. However, we want to start by discussing with you the standard Co-Pilot360 Assist+ suite of driver aids, which comes with every Explorer model. You’ll be able to find driver aids like blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic warning, rear parking sensors, a lane centering system, forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, intersection collision mitigation, and evasive steering assistance. Other features that make this a trim worth owning include a 13.2-inch touchscreen, a power liftgate, heated front seats, LED exterior lighting, Google Built-In, a digital instrument cluster, and tri-zone automatic climate control.

Anyone interested in a sportier configuration of the Ford Explorer may want to spend some time with the ST-Line trim. This is an opportunity to really let your personality shine! You’ll find features like a surround-view camera system, a black grille, BlueCruise, an enhanced adaptive cruise control system, black lower-body cladding, black synthetic leather upholstery, a 10-speaker Bang and Olufsen sound system, front and side parking sensors, and 20-inch wheels. If this sounds like the perfect fit, we hope you’ll stop by Columbine Ford so we can get you behind the wheel of one as soon as possible.

What isn’t to love about the Explorer Tremor? This is an off-roading beast that was created with adventure in mind. That’s why you will find key features that help make sure you can handle any challenge that the trails might throw at you. You’ll find a Torsen limited-slip rear axle, an off-road tuned suspension, a 1-inch raised suspension, 18-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, underbody protection, and even orange steering on places like the dashboard and steering wheel. Your next adventure is waiting for you with the 2026 Tremor on your side.

Luxury and the Explorer Platinum go hand in hand. Should you want to upgrade your life and live in true comfort during every drive, then the 2026 Explorer Platinum is waiting for you at Columbine Ford. You can enjoy things like a twin-panel sunroof, adaptive headlights, heated/ventilated/massaging front seats, a 14-speaker B&O sound system, leather upholstery, 20-inch wheels, heated second-row captain’s chairs, along unique exterior/interior details to finish things off. This is simply an opportunity you will not want to pass on.

The very last trim in the Explorer’s lineup for the 2026 model year is ST. This is another sporty option, with the biggest change being the V6 engine that can offer you as much as 400 horsepower! Other benefits include paddle shifters, ventilated front seats, performance brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, a heated steering wheel, 21-inch wheels, and heated second-row captain’s chairs. We all want a little extra power in our lives, and ST makes sure that is possible during every drive you head out on.
