2026 Explorer Tremor Trim Release in Ayden, NC

The wait is over – the Explorer Tremor trim release has landed, and it’s ready to hit the roads and trails of Ayden, NC. At Doug Henry Ford of Ayden, we’re thrilled to introduce this adventure-ready midsize SUV that’s built to go beyond the pavement without sacrificing comfort, technology, or performance.

The Ford Explorer Tremor is the ultimate blend of everyday family practicality and trail-tested toughness. With a lifted ride height, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and advanced four-wheel-drive technology, it’s the most rugged Explorer yet – and a standout choice for drivers who want to explore North Carolina’s coastlines, forests, and country roads in confidence.

Why the Ford Explorer Tremor is Built for Adventure

Ford designed the Explorer Tremor to bridge the gap between comfort on the highway and capability off the grid. It’s not a stripped-down workhorse – it’s a capable Explorer packed with off-road hardware, premium tech, and a commanding presence that’s impossible to ignore.

Standard Intelligent 4WD with six selectable drive modes and Hill Descent Control make it ready for everything from slick backroads to sandy trails. The Terrain Management System™ gives you the traction and control to adapt instantly to changing conditions, while underbody skid plates guard the essentials from rocks and debris.

With a lifted ride height and specially tuned suspension, the Tremor has the ground clearance and stability to handle uneven terrain. Whether you’re towing a boat to the coast or exploring dirt roads through Pitt County, this SUV is ready to back you up every step of the way.

Power That Matches Its Purpose

Under the hood, the Explorer Tremor brings serious performance to the table. It comes standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® turbocharged I-4 engine delivering 300 horsepower through a 10-speed automatic transmission. For even more punch, drivers can choose the 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6, pushing an incredible 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.

Both engines are equipped with Auto Start-Stop Technology, helping optimize efficiency while still offering the torque needed for trails, towing, and weekend adventures. The Torsen® limited-slip rear differential improves traction on slippery surfaces, while Trailer Sway Control and a Class III Trailer Tow Package make hauling your camper or fishing boat easy and safe.

This isn’t your average midsize SUV – it’s a road-capable and trail-tuned machine built for families that crave a little extra thrill in their daily drive.

Exterior Design That Commands Attention

From the moment you see it, the Explorer Tremor stands apart. Ford gave it a bold, purposeful look that matches its attitude. The front end features a unique Tremor grille with integrated off-road auxiliary LED lights for extra visibility, while electric spice accents on the tow hooks and grille bar add a flash of energy that’s both sporty and functional.

Its 18-inch ebony black-painted aluminum wheels are wrapped in all-terrain tires, giving the Tremor a confident stance whether it’s parked downtown or covered in trail dust. Skid plate elements, blackout headlamp treatments, and Tremor badging complete the package – ensuring this SUV looks just as fierce as it drives.

Optional features like rain-sensing wipers, matte clear hood graphics, and roof-rail crossbars let you tailor your Tremor for whatever North Carolina weather throws your way.

Interior Comfort with an Edge

Inside, the Tremor balances rugged materials with refined design. ActiveX™ seating material with Miko® suede inserts provides durability and comfort, while Tremor-stitched logos and orange contrast accents add personality throughout the cabin. Heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row captain’s chairs, and a 50/50 split third row give every passenger a comfortable ride.

Convenience features like remote start, a power liftgate, and tri-zone automatic temperature control keep daily drives effortless. Available upgrades like massaging multicontour front seats, a panoramic glass roof, and ambient lighting take the Tremor experience to the next level.

For those who need storage flexibility, the Cargo Area Management System and soft-sided organizer options make loading gear or groceries a breeze.

Cutting-Edge Ford Technology

Behind the wheel, drivers will find the Ford Digital Experience, featuring a 13.2-inch center touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. With Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, SiriusXM® with 360L, and a built-in 4G/5G modem, you’ll stay connected no matter where your route leads.

The B&O Sound System fills the cabin with crisp audio from 10 standard speakers, with an optional 14-speaker upgrade available for audiophiles. Ford’s intuitive infotainment system integrates Google Maps and Google Play for seamless access to navigation and apps.

When it comes to safety and confidence, the Tremor comes equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist 2.0, Reverse Brake Assist, a 360-degree camera with split view, and lane-keeping technology. Available BlueCruise 1.5 adds hands-free driving capability with automatic lane-change functionality on compatible highways.
