{"product_id":"2026-ford-explorer-service-repair-manual","title":"2026 Ford Explorer Service and Repair Manual","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew for 2026, the Explorer Tremor adds an off-road-focused four-wheel-drive model to a lineup that also includes Active, ST-Line, Platinum and the performance ST. Tremor, Active, ST-Line and Platinum use the 2.3L turbocharged four, and the ST retains the 3.0L twin-turbo V6. Because the Tremor brings its own suspension and driveline hardware, this service and repair manual pairs each system with the correct 2026 procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules rather than leaning on earlier-year data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngines covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.3L inline-four — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.0L V6 — DOHC, twin-turbocharged, gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody styles covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-door sport utility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrims covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlatinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eST\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eST-Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTremor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnown issues on the 2026 Explorer.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fifteen recalls are on federal record.
