The 2026 Ford Explorer: Your Guide to Adventure in Kent, WA

For drivers in Kent, Washington, a vehicle needs to be more than just a means of transportation from point A to point B. It needs to handle the daily commute on WA-167, have enough space for gear on a weekend trip to Mount Rainier, and provide confidence-inspiring safety in unpredictable Pacific Northwest weather.

The newly redesigned 2026 Ford Explorer, available now at Bowen Scarff Ford, is engineered to master all these challenges and more, establishing itself as the premier three-row SUV for life in the Puget Sound region.

Looking Toward the Future

With a bold new look, groundbreaking interior technology, and the powerful performance you expect from Ford, the latest Explorer is ready to redefine your family's adventures.

Uncompromising Performance for Washington Roads

Under the hood, the 2026 Explorer offers two potent EcoBoost® engine options, both paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring you have the power you need whether merging onto I-5 or climbing a steep mountain pass.

  • Standard 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4: This robust engine is anything but basic. It delivers a commanding 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, providing spirited acceleration and efficient performance for your daily drives around the Kent Valley.
  • Available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6: Standard on the ST and Platinum trims, this twin-turbocharged powerhouse unleashes an exhilarating 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine gives the Explorer the capability to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped—more than enough for a boat for a day on Lake Tapps or a small trailer for a camping trip in the Cascades.

Rear-wheel drive comes standard, offering a sporty feel, while available intelligent four-wheel drive provides enhanced traction and control, a must-have for slick roads and gravel paths leading to your favorite trailhead.

A Cabin of Comfort and Cutting-Edge Tech

Step inside the 2026 Explorer and you'll find a completely redesigned cabin focused on comfort, connectivity, and a premium experience. The dashboard has been pushed forward to create a more open and airy feel, and it's adorned with higher-quality materials and soft-touch surfaces throughout.

The star of the new interior is the Ford Digital Experience infotainment system. This new platform seamlessly integrates your digital life into the vehicle.

Key Technology Features:

  • Standard 13.2-inch Touchscreen: This vibrant, landscape-oriented screen is your command center for navigation, entertainment, and vehicle settings.
  • Standard 12.3-inch Digital Instrument Cluster: Customize the information you see, from your speed and fuel economy to detailed navigation prompts.
  • Google Built-in: With Google Maps as the native navigation system, you get real-time traffic updates and easy-to-use routing. Google Assistant enables you to control various functions with simple voice commands, such as "Hey Google, find the nearest coffee shop."
  • The Google Play Store: Download your favorite apps, such as Spotify and Audible, directly to the vehicle, so your entertainment is always ready to go, even without your phone.
