2026 Ford Explorer
Discover the Ultimate Family SUV at Varsity Ford
Life in Michigan is full of moments, big and small. It is taking the kids to soccer practice in Ann Arbor, loading up for a family vacation to the U.P., and navigating busy commutes with confidence. For these moments, you need a vehicle that can keep up. At Varsity Ford, we have been part of our community’s family stories for over 40 years, and we are proud to introduce the 2026 Ford Explorer. It is an SUV designed for modern families who need space, safety, and versatility.
As Ann Arbor, Michigan's Ford dealership since 1981, we understand what families are looking for. The 2026 Explorer delivers. It combines a comfortable, spacious interior with powerful performance and the latest safety technology. Whether you are a loyal Ford employee taking advantage of your A/Z plan or looking for the perfect vehicle to grow with your family, the Explorer is ready for the journey ahead.
Room for Everyone: Settle into Comfort Inside the 2026 Ford Explorer
The 2026 Ford Explorer is designed with family adventures in mind. With three rows of seating and room for up to seven passengers, there is plenty of space for everyone. No more arguments about who sits where. The available PowerFold® third row seats make it simple to switch from carrying passengers to hauling cargo. With the touch of a button, the seats fold flat, opening up a cavernous cargo area for sports equipment, luggage, or groceries.
A Family-Friendly Interior That Feels Like Home
Comfort is key on long road trips and short drives alike. The Explorer’s cabin offers a quiet, refined ride that makes every trip more enjoyable. Available multi-contour seats with Active Motion® provide a gentle massage, helping to reduce fatigue on extended drives. Plus, with a standard 13.2-inch touchscreen featuring SYNC® technology, staying connected and entertained has never been easier. You can access navigation, playlists, and apps with simple voice commands, keeping your focus on the road.
Power Through the Seasons with the 2026 Ford Explorer
Whether you are navigating snowy winter roads or towing a small trailer for a weekend camping trip, the 2026 Ford Explorer has the power you need. It comes with a standard rear-wheel-drive platform that provides a sporty, athletic feel, but available Intelligent 4WD is ready to tackle tougher conditions.
The Terrain Management System™, standard on 4WD models, lets you optimize performance with up to seven selectable drive modes, including Normal, Trail, and Slippery. This means you can confidently handle whatever Michigan weather throws your way. The Explorer is not just an SUV. It is a capable partner that gives you the freedom to explore.
Advanced Safety to Protect What Matters Most
When you have precious cargo on board, nothing is more important than safety. The 2026 Ford Explorer comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist+, a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies that work together to protect you.
Key Safety Benefits:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering: Helps you maintain a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, even in traffic.
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking: Scans the road for potential hazards and can apply the brakes to help you avoid or mitigate a collision.
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert: Provides an alert if a vehicle is in your blind spot, making lane changes safer.
- Evasive Steering Assist: Gives you extra steering support to help avoid a potential collision if braking alone is not enough.
