Canadian model reference
Ford
Ford's three-row SUV, with a 300 hp turbo four or a 400 hp twin-turbo V6 and four-wheel drive on every Canadian model, in Active, ST-Line, Tremor, Platinum and ST trims from $54,895 including freight, PDI and fees, according to MotorMouth's review notes. A research reference built around the questions three-row SUV shoppers ask, not a marketplace listing.
The 2026 Explorer is Ford's six- or seven-seat SUV. In Canada every Explorer has four-wheel drive and a 10-speed automatic. The 2.3-litre EcoBoost four makes 300 hp and 310 lb-ft; the 3.0-litre twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 makes 400 hp and 415 lb-ft, available on the Tremor and standard on the ST. The Tremor is the off-road model, the ST the performance model and the Platinum the most luxurious.

Drawn from 1,069 comments on MotorMouth's Explorer videos posted since 2023 on the MotorMouth YouTube channel. Question themes sit apart from verified vehicle facts and help prepare a more useful test drive.
Price and value come up in 139 comments on MotorMouth's Explorer videos. MotorMouth's April 2026 notes list the 2026 Explorer Active at $54,895, ST-Line at $59,995, Tremor at $62,595, Platinum at $65,495 and ST at $73,395, all including freight, PDI and fees.
Ask for the all-in price of your exact build and packages in writing.
The Active is the base model, the ST-Line adds sporty styling, the Tremor adds an off-road suspension, a limited-slip rear axle and more ground clearance, the Platinum adds perforated leather and massaging seats, and the ST is the performance model with the V6, a sport suspension and bigger brakes.
Decide whether you need the V6; the turbo four is standard on most trims.
Engine and power come up in 121 comments, and several viewers ask about a hybrid. The 2.3-litre turbo four makes 300 hp and the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 400 hp. The V6 is standard on the ST and available on the Tremor. Premium fuel is recommended for full performance, but regular works, according to MotorMouth's notes. One viewer asked: "When is a hybrid coming?"
If you tow, drive the V6 with a load in mind.
Fuel economy comes up in 36 comments. MotorMouth's notes give the 2.3-litre 11.9 L/100 km (20 mpg US) city and 8.7 L/100 km (27 mpg US) highway, and the V6 13.0 L/100 km (18 mpg US) city and 9.3 L/100 km (25 mpg US) highway.
