2026 Explorer Tremor Drive: Big Power, Big Bucks
The first time I stepped on the accelerator, I almost took off
To be honest, this thing is a violent beast-when the 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 roars, more than 400 horsepower will instantly hold you in your seat. When turbo intervenes, you will feel like someone is kicking you hard in the back and then running out screaming. Putting this kind of power reserve on an SUV that can take the whole family camping is cheating. However, don't expect it to save fuel-I drove all the way, and the average fuel consumption was 12.8L/100km. My wallet was crying, but the corners of my mouth couldn't help but smile.
Cross-country ability? This thing is a lot wilder than it looks.
Tremor didn't just change off-road tires and stickers-Ford really hardened the chassis, raising ground clearance by nearly 3 centimeters, and stuffed in a four-wheel drive system with a rear differential lock. I specially found a gravel slope and mud ground to have fun. The air suspension in "off-road mode" held the car body higher a bit. The tires were chewing on the mud. The electronic slip limit intervened quickly and fiercely, and there was basically no hesitation in slipping. Driving this kind of car into the wild will make you feel like a wilderness hunter-provided you can endure the bumps of the interior.
Interior? Well... Progress but not much
Entering the car, the 12.3-inch meter and large vertical screen stole all the limelight. The Sync 4 system responded very quickly, and wireless CarPlay was connected in seconds. But touch the center console and door panels-plastic, still plastic, only the seat stitching and steering wheel are covered with skin. The second row of space is good, but the third row? Adults sitting in can only be regarded as "temporary detention". Ford's sincerity lies in ventilating the B-O stereo and seats, but the chrome plated parts in the gear handle area are dazzling when the sun shines-details, details!
The price is heartbreaking-is it worth it?
I saw that the price of the window paper was completed: 67,000 US dollars (equivalent to nearly 500,000 RMB)! I almost sprayed coffee on the screen. At this price, you can buy a top-notch Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, and even a second-hand defender. The Explorer Tremor is indeed all-round-fast, off-road, and capable of loading people, but that "value for money" is really wiped out by the price. If you really ask me if I will pay?... Well, if I didn't have to commute to traffic every day, I might be impulsive. But reason tells me: wait for a discount of 50,000 yuan before starting.
