Tim Short Ford stocks the Explorer as a 2026-and-2027 three-row SUV, and every one in our current stock is built with 4x4. If you're shopping the Explorer from Lexington, KY and don't want to make the drive to Hazard, KY without knowing what's actually on the lot, this page covers the trim ladder, the engines, and how to get a real quote before you leave home.

   

The lineup splits into two groups. Active, ST-Line and Platinum run the standard I-4, built for daily driving, school runs and interstate trips with three rows open for passengers. ST and Tremor step up to the V-6, aimed at buyers who want quicker acceleration (ST) or more capability off the pavement (Tremor). Platinum adds the most content of the I-4 trims, so it's worth cross-shopping against ST if you're deciding between comfort and performance.
