For SUV shoppers in Anniston and the surrounding Northeast Alabama area in fall 2026, the Ford Explorer has a particularly strong story because it sits in a sweet spot: more capability and space than a typical midsize crossover, but easier to live with than a full-size SUV.

Why the 2026 Explorer makes sense for Anniston-area shoppers

1. It fits Alabama driving really well.
The Explorer offers rear-wheel drive or available Intelligent 4WD, selectable drive modes, 7.6+ inches of ground clearance depending on trim, and up to 5,000 lbs. of towing capacity. That's useful for everything from everyday commuting to weekend trips, boats, trailers and outdoor activities.

2. It's a legitimate 3-row SUV without being enormous.
The Explorer seats up to seven, with up to 85.8 cubic feet of cargo space. That gives families room for kids, sports equipment, groceries, luggage and road trips without stepping all the way up to a full-size SUV.

3. The Explorer's capability shines.
Around Anniston, Oxford, Jacksonville, Gadsden and Birmingham, fall means football weekends, college events, hunting/outdoor trips, camping and family travel. The Explorer is a "do-it-all Alabama SUV."

And the new Explorer Tremor adds standard 4WD, all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, off-road-tuned suspension, underbody protection and a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 option.

4. It has enough power to feel like a Ford.
The standard 2.3L EcoBoost provides a good balance of power and everyday usability, while higher trims such as ST and Tremor can be equipped with the 3.0L EcoBoost V6. Maximum horsepower reaches 400 hp on the ST depending on configuration, while Ford lists up to 5,000 lbs. towing capacity.

5. The technology is a major selling point.
Even the Explorer Active offers a 13.2-inch touchscreen, Ford Digital Experience, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ and adaptive cruise control. Higher trims add features such as a 360-degree camera, premium B&O audio and available/standard BlueCruise depending on trim.

6. It's especially attractive for road-trip families.
The combination of three rows, available heated seats, available panoramic roof, large touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration and available BlueCruise makes the Explorer easy to position for I-20 trips, Birmingham/Atlanta travel and family road trips. BlueCruise can also provide hands-free highway driving assistance on equipped vehicles.

7. C. A. Russell Ford Service provides dealership service in Anniston, while Quick Lane at C. A. Russell Ford provides routine maintenance such as tires, brakes, batteries and oil changes.
