Power, Control & Precision—Built for Alberta Terrain
The 2026 Ford Explorer brings serious capability to your daily routine. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine produces a healthy 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, giving you confident acceleration for merging onto Whitemud Drive or overtaking on the Anthony Henday. It’s also impressively fuel-efficient, with highway ratings as low as 9.8L/100 km—perfect for balancing city mileage with open-road efficiency.
If your weekends involve towing or tackling rougher terrain, the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 delivers up to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. When properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 lbs—ideal for hauling a trailer, camper, or even a boat out to Wabamun Lake or Pigeon Lake.
Every Explorer includes a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission and Ford’s Terrain Management System™, which features up to seven selectable drive modes like Slippery, Deep Snow/Sand, and Sport. Add available Intelligent 4WD, and you’ve got the confidence to tackle snowy winters, muddy backroads, and everything in between. Whether you're navigating icy intersections in North Edmonton or gravel roads near Elk Island, the Explorer keeps you in control.
