The defining feature of this new 2026 Ford Explorer Tremor 4WD is how confidently it handles transitions. Agate Black Metallic, blackout lighting, 18-inch black-painted wheels and Tremor badging give it a purposeful look in Wesley Chapel traffic, but the real value appears when pavement gives way to rain-soaked roads, gravel or an uneven access trail.

The first transition happens under power. Fords 2.3L EcoBoost engine and 10-speed automatic provide responsive acceleration for I-75 merging, passing and daily travel between Tampa, New Tampa and Lutz. An EPA-estimated 21 MPG combined keeps this three-row SUV practical during the workweek.

When the surface changes, the Tremor hardware takes over. P265/65R18 all-terrain tires, off-road shocks, skid plates, front tow hooks and a Torsen limited-slip rear axle help manage wet grass, loose gravel and rougher access roads. Selectable drive modes adjust the Explorers responses, while off-road auxiliary lighting adds visibility after sunset.

The cabin is ready for its own transitions. Heated and ventilated front seats support the driver through changing Florida weather, while heated second-row seating keeps passengers comfortable. A 50/50 fold-flat third row converts passenger space into cargo room for luggage, sports equipment or outdoor gear.

Every new Ford Explorer at Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. Parks Plus adds paint and interior protection, cabin sanitizer and antimicrobial protectant, rain repellent, headlight protection, nitrogen tire service, anti-theft VIN etching, stolen-vehicle assistance, roadside assistance and collision loyalty benefits.

A 12.3-inch digital cluster and 13.2-inch touchscreen keep information organized as the day changes. Ford Digital Experience adds Google Maps and compatible apps through the Play Store, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto preserve familiar smartphone access. The 10-speaker B&O system adds premium sound.

BlueCruise includes a one-year plus 90-day plan for compatible hands-free highway driving support. A 360-degree camera helps in crowded Tampa parking areas, tighter garages or narrow trail entrances, while the keyless-entry keypad provides another way to access the vehicle.

The 110-volt outlet and USB-C ports in every row help keep compatible devices powered. First- and second-row floor liners protect the cabin when muddy shoes or wet gear come back inside, and the power liftgate simplifies loading around Land O Lakes, Odessa or Zephyrhills.

A Class III Trailer Tow Package expands what this Explorer Tremor can bring along, while black roof rails provide another option for compatible cargo. The spare-wheel and jack kit add reassurance when the route stretches beyond the familiar.

This Agate Black Explorer Tremor is built for movement between different kinds of days: weekday traffic, highway travel, changing weather, family duty and the road that continues after the pavement ends. Its strength is how smoothly the entire vehicle adapts when the plan changes. Not all customers may qualify for all rebates. Price includes: $1000 - SSE Down Payment Assistance.
