The Tremor starts with most of the equipment of the ST-Line but gets unique exterior styling. It also has upgraded four-wheel drive with hill descent control, heated and ventilated front seats, ActiveX-trimmed seating with Miko inserts, unique front tow hooks, off-road auxiliary lights, front and rear underbody protection plates, a 110-volt power outlet, and 18-inch wheels.

It also has leather-trimmed seats with perforated inserts, multi-contour massaging front seats with heat and cooling, an eight-way power driver's seat, a six-way power front passenger’s seat, a power-folding third-row seat, and adaptive headlights. Ford also includes power-folding side mirrors with driver’s-side auto-dimming, rain-sensing windshield wipers, ambient cabin lighting, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The ST continues with the sporty looks of the ST-Line while having most of the premium features of the Platinum. It’s also equipped with a sport-tuned suspension, ActiveX-trimmed seating with Miko inserts, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, quad exhaust tips, and 21-inch wheels. A fixed-panel panoramic glass roof with a power shade is optional on all 2026 Explorer trims except the Active 100A.
