Where these specifications come from
Specifications combine decoded VIN data, including NHTSA vPIC , with inventory records. If decoding does not identify a trim, a recorded inventory trim may be shown. VIN patterns do not confirm every installed option.
Counts describe observed VINs in our database, not factory production totals. Prices are median asking prices from qualifying U.S. listings, not original MSRP. Check the vehicle’s build sheet for exact equipment.

Frequently asked questions
Why do 2026 Ford Explorer prices range from $40,294 to $64,586 in Montana?

Is $53,396 a good price for a 2026 Ford Explorer?
$53,396 is the market average as of September 11, 2026. The $53,494 median is a comparison point, not a deal rating. Compare the same trim and mileage band, and check condition, equipment and vehicle history.
Do Ford Explorer prices in Montana differ from the rest of the country?
Yes. The average in Montana is $53,396, which is $2,994 above the national average of $50,402. Local supply, demand and transport costs all play a part.

Is this the trade-in value or private-party value of my 2026 Ford Explorer?
These figures describe dealer asking prices, not trade-in offers, private-party sale values or completed sale prices. Use them to compare advertised vehicles. To find out what a buyer or dealer would pay for your car, request an offer that takes its mileage, condition, equipment and history into account.
How we calculate these prices
We track 74 active listings for this vehicle across dealer sites in Montana, updated every day. Average and median are computed from real asking prices on live listings. We exclude the top and bottom 2% of prices to reduce the influence of extreme values. This does not verify title status or guarantee that every erroneous listing is excluded. Prices reflect dealer asking prices — not final sale prices — and exclude taxes, fees, and incentives. Trim and mileage move the price more than any other factor; see the breakdowns above.
