Tremor Overview
More Than an Explorer With Off-Road Styling
Plenty of SUVs look rugged. Explorer Tremor goes further by changing the hardware underneath the vehicle.
Ford combines standard Intelligent 4WD with an off-road-tuned suspension, increased ride height, all-terrain tires, steel underbody deflector plates and a Tremor-exclusive Torsen limited-slip rear axle.
The result is an Explorer designed for buyers who may regularly encounter gravel roads, muddy access roads, snow, uneven terrain, camping destinations or trails where an ordinary three-row crossover begins to feel out of place.

- Up to 400 available horsepower
- Standard Intelligent 4WD

Tremor Hardware
What Makes the Explorer Tremor Different Off Road?
Tremor is the Explorer trim where the differences extend beneath the bodywork. Ford adds hardware specifically intended to improve traction, protection and control on rough surfaces.
4WD
Standard Intelligent 4WD
Unlike Explorer trims where four-wheel drive may be optional, Intelligent 4WD is standard on Tremor.
Off-Road-Tuned Suspension
Tremor receives suspension tuning designed specifically for greater control and capability away from smooth pavement.
Increased Ride Height
Additional ride height helps Tremor provide greater clearance when driving over uneven surfaces and rough terrain.
Torsen Limited-Slip Rear Axle
Exclusive to Explorer Tremor, the Torsen limited-slip rear axle helps enhance traction and stability on loose or uneven surfaces.
Steel Underbody Protection
Front and rear steel deflector plates add protection underneath the vehicle where rough terrain can create additional exposure.
18 IN.
All-Terrain Tires
Standard 18-inch Tremor wheels are paired with P265/65R18 all-terrain tires for improved performance on loose surfaces.
Tremor Is Not Simply an Appearance Package
This distinction matters when comparing Tremor to ST-Line. ST-Line primarily uses styling and equipment to create a sportier Explorer. Tremor changes the suspension, drivetrain equipment, tires, protection and traction hardware to create a genuinely different capability profile.
Two EcoBoost Choices
300 Horsepower Standard — Up to 400 Available
Tremor is one of the most interesting Explorer trims because you can pair its off-road hardware with either the standard 2.3L EcoBoost or an available twin-turbocharged 3.0L EcoBoost V6.
300 HP
2.3L EcoBoost I-4
The standard 2.3L EcoBoost produces 300 horsepower and is paired with Ford's 10-speed automatic transmission.
For buyers who primarily want Tremor's traction, suspension and off-road equipment, the standard engine already provides substantial everyday power.
Best for: Capability without paying for maximum horsepower. Up to 400 HP
Available 3.0L EcoBoost V6
The available twin-turbocharged 3.0L EcoBoost V6 can produce as much as 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque.
Ford notes that the V6 horsepower rating may be 385 or 400 horsepower depending on the state in which the vehicle is sold.
Best for: Buyers wanting Tremor capability with serious V6 performance.
