Confident Performance That Handles Manitoba Weather
The 2026 Ford Explorer is made for Manitoba conditions—from icy side streets to wide-open highways. Under the hood, the standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine cranks out 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque—plenty for zipping through city traffic or accelerating onto Route 165. And with an estimated 9.8L/100 km highway fuel efficiency, it’s as efficient as it is capable.
Drivers who need serious power for towing or rural travel can upgrade to the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine, which delivers 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the Class III Trailer Tow Package, the Explorer tows up to 5,600 lbs—more than enough for a trailer, camper, or boat heading to Lake Winnipeg.
Both engines are mated to a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission and supported by Ford’s Terrain Management System™, offering up to seven selectable drive modes—including Normal, Trail, Deep Snow/Sand, Slippery, Sport, and Eco—so you can adapt your driving to match Winnipeg’s ever-changing road conditions.
Add available Intelligent 4WD and you’ve got the control and traction needed for icy Portage Avenue mornings or muddy spring drives out to the Whiteshell. Whether you're headed to work or getting out of town, the Explorer keeps you confident year-round.
