What You Need To Know: 2026 Ford Transit AWD Trail by Explorer Van Company

2026 Ford Transit AWD Trail by Explorer Van Company

Explorer Van Company offers a Trail package built on the Ford Transit—a rugged, adventure-ready conversion designed for those who want both utility and comfort.

Key Features of the Trail Transit Package

All-Wheel Drive (AWD)

The Trail package includes Ford’s AWD system, giving the van better traction and control, especially useful for off-road or unpaved routes.

AWD helps make this conversion van more capable in various driving conditions.

Lifted Suspension & Ground Clearance

A 2-inch body level/lift improves ground clearance for better off-road capability, approach and departure angle.

Track width is widened by about 2.75 inches, helping with stability.

All-Terrain Wheels & Tires

Equipped with 16″ Rhino Black Alloy Wheels.

Comes with 245/75 R16 Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse all-terrain tires.

Magnus Rhino Lined Running Boards

Unique Exterior Styling

Unique Black Raptor Grille

Unique Transit Trail Splash Guards and Wheel Arch Cladding

Rugged Front Wheel Arch Liners

Off-Road Roof Rack with Side Ladder (optional)

Convenience & Safety Features

Intelligent Access with push-button start.

Blind Spot Assist for safer lane changes.

Front fog lamps are integrated into the package.

Rear and side sensing systems, as well as a 360° camera system on many builds.

Interior and Comfort Upgrades

Quality conversion van interior: leather, diamond-stitching, reading lights, and built-in TV.

USB charging ports and wireless charging pads throughout the van.

Performance & Power

Uses the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine (twin-turbo), delivering strong power and torque for hauling or towing.

A 3.73 limited-slip rear axle helps put power to the ground effectively.

Towing capacity conversion versions list up to 6,500 lbs of towing, depending on configuration.

Why the Trail Package Matters for Van Owners

  • Adventure Mobility: With the lifted suspension, AWD, and all-terrain tires, this van is more ready for remote travel than a standard Transit.
  • Comfort + Utility: You don’t lose the convenience of a conversion van; media options and power outlets make it comfortable.
  • Practical Power: The EcoBoost engine and limited-slip axle help the van handle towing and heavy loads.
  • Safety Gains: Modern driver-assistance features (especially on the 2026 Transit) add peace of mind for families.

The 2026 Explorer Van Company Trail Transit Package is a compelling choice for anyone looking to combine rugged capability with conversion van comfort. Whether you’re planning off-grid adventures, need a reliable family van, or want a mobile workspace that can handle rough terrain, the Trail package offers a balanced mix of performance, style, and practicality.

If you’re in the market for one, be sure to talk to Classic Vans about build times, options, and the specific 2026 Transit features you want.
