Who it suits. SUV buyers who want part-time four-wheel drive Drivers whose trips include substantial highway miles Ford shoppers seeking a turbocharged six-cylinder

The 2027 Explorer Tremor AWD makes sense for drivers who want a gasoline SUV with part-time four-wheel drive and a turbocharged six-cylinder engine. Its fuel picture is clear: 19 MPG combined, 17 city, and 22 highway, with an EPA annual fuel estimate of $3,550. Highway-heavy use will align more closely with its 22 MPG rating, while city-heavy trips will not. Pick it when the drivetrain and SUV format justify that fuel budget; look elsewhere if reducing annual gasoline cost is your first priority.

What it is

The 2027 Ford Explorer Tremor AWD is a Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD. It uses gasoline, a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Its drivetrain is part-time 4-wheel drive. The figure that defines its everyday use is 19 MPG combined.

The numbers

EPA estimates 17 MPG in city driving and 22 MPG on the highway. The combined 19 MPG figure blends those conditions into one planning number.

For context among Ford models, you can browse Ford cars. SUV shoppers can also review fuel-efficient SUVs.

What it costs to run

The EPA annual fuel-cost estimate is $3,550. Your total depends on how much city and highway driving you do, but the 19 MPG combined rating gives a single starting point for budgeting.

Tailpipe carbon dioxide is rated at 469 grams per mile.

How it compares

Its 22 MPG highway result is 5 MPG higher than its 17 MPG city result. The 19 MPG combined figure is the useful middle ground when your driving mixes both settings.

That makes the Explorer Tremor AWD a gasoline SUV to compare by fuel use against other vehicles in the SUV charts, rather than by a separate electric or hybrid measure.

Who it suits

This Explorer suits a buyer who wants an SUV with part-time four-wheel drive and accepts gasoline running costs. The 19 MPG combined rating fits drivers who need one number for mixed driving.

It also fits someone who prefers a turbocharged six-cylinder and a 10-speed automatic in a Ford SUV.

Trade-offs

The 17 MPG city rating is lower than the 22 MPG highway rating, so frequent urban driving will use more fuel than steady highway travel. The EPA annual estimate is $3,550.

Part-time 4-wheel drive and the 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder define its drivetrain choice, while gasoline power means it is measured in MPG rather than MPGe.

Verdict

Choose this Explorer when part-time four-wheel drive matters more than minimizing fuel spending. Its 19 MPG combined result gives a clear budget baseline, and the 22 MPG highway figure favors longer road trips over stop-and-go use.

The $3,550 annual fuel estimate is the key ownership number to weigh. If that cost fits your driving plan, the turbocharged six-cylinder, 10-speed automatic, and SUV body make a straightforward match.
