The 2026 Ford Explorer combines three rows of seating, available hybrid power, and a 5,600-lb tow rating in an SUV that works as a family vehicle first and an adventure vehicle second. Available intelligent 4WD and a dedicated off-road drive mode let it handle a Chaffee County winter and a rough campground road without needing to be a truck.

The 2026 Ford Explorer in Salida & the Upper Arkansas Valley
Load all seven seats for a soak at Mount Princeton Hot Springs, fold the third row for a supply run over to Cañon City, or hitch up a small camper for a weekend at Twin Lakes — the Explorer takes all of it in stride. The available 3.0L EcoBoost ST’s 400 horsepower makes the merge onto US-50 and the climb toward Monarch effortless, and the intelligent 4WD system with an off-road drive mode gives you margin on a washboard road up to a trailhead in the Collegiate Peaks. Faricy Salida Ford offers the Explorer at Real Prices. Real People. The Way Car Buying Should Be.
