2026 Order banks open!

[RyanLHMFord]

Hey guys I haven’t seen any updates on 2026 orders here so I figured I’d let everyone know as of 6-24 2026 orders have opened and 2025 orders are being balanced out.
I finally made the plunge and ordered a 2026 Space White ST to upgrade my current SHO!
I work sales at a Ford dealer so if anyone has questions on order guides reach out!

I wonder what features will be cut out in that model year?

So far I’m not seeing anything deleted from the ST on the order guide other than some dealer installed options.

door keypad is a factory option again along with bench seat on ST and Platinum is available again

Marsh Gray and Space white being available on all trims is the huge change!

So side window shades are back? ST key Fob is back? Power Steering column adjust is back? etc., etc.. These and more were deleted mid through the 25's. Is everything back for 26'??

I don’t think they are back unfortunately, the steering column is definitely still manual I did look around the order guide for that specifically.

I haven’t seen any items newly deleted for 2026 yet though (other than no 3.0 option for Platinum whatsoever)

That stuff will most likely never be added again. Not added for 2026.

Fixed glass roof instead of powered moon roof is a change that I overlooked

Glad I ordered and received an early 25' ST before the old Ford delete button went into overdrive..

That's just a ridiculous 'Ford next mode year delete', especially on an Explorer refresh that's just 1-year in to its cycle; just blatant we'll charge you more and give you less.

Wireless charger is also gone it looks like

They might as well make a base ST with no added luxuries for cheap and also have a fully loaded ST option for what we're paying now. Makes no sense to charge more for less. Hell I'll gladly fork over 68K for a 5.0 ST...sigh...wishful thinking.
