Why Lease a Ford Explorer?
Our Ford Explorer lease deals offer you easier access to a midsize three-row SUV that lives up to its name. This rugged machine can venture far off the beaten path and is designed to serve as an excellent family road trip machine. Its spacious interior and competitive creature comforts also make it a great choice for daily school drop-offs and weekend soccer practice runs.
The team here at Capital Ford of Wilmington is excited to introduce you to the 2026 Ford Explorer. Its standard 2.3-liter turbocharged engine provides 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque – plenty of muscle to get you up the Uwharrie Mountains or to any other peak you'd like to summit.
That said, drivers who want even more power can consider the Explorer ST, which comes standard with a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. When paired with the SUV's available four-wheel-drive system, this setup allows you to conquer any terrain.
When you sign up for a 2026 Ford Explorer lease, you will have the opportunity to travel in comfort. The entry-level model comes with three-zone climate control, a built-in cabin air filter, numerous USB ports to keep your passengers' devices charged, and a 13.2-inch touchscreen that makes it simple to manage your music, podcasts, and calls. Our Ford Explorer lease specials allow access to a dynamic vehicle that combines convenience, a roomy cabin, and raw power.
Ford Explorer Financing Deals vs. Lease Incentives
Now that we've discussed the appeal of the Explorer, we'll detail your two paths to the front seat of this impressive SUV. When deciding to take advantage of our Ford Explorer lease deals, you'll essentially be signing up for a years-long rental. There are several advantages to this arrangement: You get to stay up to date with brand-new automotive technology if you regularly lease new models, you typically won't have significant repair bills, and you have no long-term commitment to the car in question.
It is important to keep in mind that there are some stipulations to leasing. You will be restricted to an annual mileage limit (typically ranging from 7,500 to 12,000 miles), and you are prohibited from making permanent modifications to the automobile you're leasing.
Our Ford Explorer financing offers might also be of interest. Purchasing a car allows you to build equity over time: Once you've paid off your loan, you'll own the vehicle. You're able to modify it however you want (within the guidelines of the law, e.g., relating to emissions standards) and drive it for as many miles as you see fit.
The monthly payments associated with financing are, however, typically higher than those you'd make when leasing. You may also have to deal with costly repairs over the lifetime of a car you own, in part because the warranty will expire after a few years.
Some drivers in Wilmington, NC, prefer leasing while others favor financing. There's no right or wrong way to get into a new Ford Explorer; contact us today to compare our Ford Explorer lease deals and financing specials.
How Do Ford Explorer Lease Deals and Financing Offers Work?
The initial process of signing up for our Ford Explorer lease specials and financing incentives is fairly similar. You'll bring your identification, proof of income, and other necessary documents to our dealership. Then, we'll work together to submit an application for your preferred leasing or financing offer.
Assuming you are approved, you will be one step closer to securing the new Ford Explorer for sale from our dealership. At this point, you will usually render a down payment. You'll be responsible for monthly payments whether you lease or finance, though leasing installments are generally a lower cost. You'll be cruising the streets near Jacksonville, NC, in no time!
Our lease rates are competitive from the jump, but when you review all the Ford lease specials currently found at our dealership, you'll see that they provide incredible value for your hard-earned money.
Which Ford Explorer Models Are Available?
