Summer keeps South Bay families busy. Whether you’re planning a family getaway or managing a packed schedule of summer activities, your SUV needs to be ready for anything.
If your current ride feels a bit cramped for your crew’s active lifestyle, the 2026 Ford Explorer will make your adventures easier and more fun. As one of America’s most recognizable SUVs, it combines spacious seating, modern technology, and rugged capability to cover every mile of your next trip.
First-Class Comfort for All Three Rows
A successful road trip depends on keeping every passenger comfortable, and the 2026 Explorer lives up to that promise. With three rows of flexible seating, it can carry up to seven passengers while still leaving plenty of space for luggage, coolers, and beach gear. The cabin features premium acoustic materials designed to reduce road noise, making conversations easier even at highway speeds on the 405. Multi-contour seats with massage functions are also available to help drivers arrive feeling refreshed.
The All-New Ford Digital Experience
Keeping the family connected and entertained on long stretches of road is simple in the 2026 Explorer. This model introduces the new Ford Digital Experience infotainment system, centered around a beautiful 13.2-inch touchscreen. Drivers can easily access their favorite apps through wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, while integrated Google Maps offers real-time traffic updates to help avoid congestion. Passengers can stream entertainment, charge devices, and stay connected across all three rows.
Confidence and Capability on Every Highway
Southern California driving calls for versatility, and the Explorer gives drivers a choice of powerful, efficient EcoBoost® engines and available Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive. With Ford’s Terrain Management System™, drivers can optimize performance for changing road conditions with just a turn of a dial. Every 2026 model also comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist+, providing advanced driver-assist features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Centering. Whether navigating city traffic or cruising down the coast, the Explorer is built to help make every drive feel smoother and less stressful.
