How much is a 2026 Ford Explorer lease?

The 2026 Ford Explorer Active (100A) RWD currently leases for $479 per month with 1969 due at signing at DSR Leasing.

Can I lease this Ford with $0 down?

Yes, DSR Leasing specializes in $0 down lease specials for the 2026 Ford Explorer for qualified lessees nationwide.

Does DSR Leasing offer home delivery for the Explorer?

Absolutely. We provide nationwide home delivery for the 2026 Ford Explorer. You can complete your entire lease over the phone and have the vehicle delivered to your door.

What about lease end protection for the Ford?

As part of the standard DSR package, we feature DSR SafeLease protection offering up to $5,000 in coverage starting at $399. Researching average pricing for manufacturer/brand lease end protection on lease forums like edmunds.com or leasehackr.com shows this provides exceptional value. Learn more at https://dsrleasing.com/lease-end-protection.

What is the difference between money down and due at signing?

Any amount put down (technically known as a Capital Reduction) goes directly toward reducing your adjusted capitalized cost, which lowers the total amount financed. The Due at Signing is the actual sum required to take delivery. It includes your down amount, plus your first monthly payment, bank acquisition fee, DSR service fee, and state license plate fees.

Why do you charge a service fee? My local dealer doesn't.

Our one-time service fee allows us to perform for our clients and replaces the typical $2,000 to $5,000 in hidden dealer profit. We pass along all of our supplier discounts, do the heavy lifting of coordinating the best lender lease deals, and source vehicles nationwide instead of restricting you to a local market. We also guarantee our services—if we cannot secure your vehicle or your application is declined, the fee is 100% refundable.

Do I have to pay transport fees? Is it not already included in the service fee?

If your preferred vehicle is readily available within 150 miles of you, we will include home delivery free of charge. If you are seeking a limited production vehicle or a unique specification, we'll gladly locate it anywhere in the nation and coordinate delivery to your driveway. Because variables like distance and fuel costs fluctuate, long-distance transport requires a custom quote.

Does the lease include a warranty or maintenance?

All new vehicles come with a comprehensive Bumper-to-Bumper factory warranty. If anything fails, your local dealer will replace or repair it at no charge, including labor costs. Additionally, routine maintenance (like oil changes and filters) is included with most luxury brands such as Acura, Audi, BMW, Genesis, Honda, INFINITI, Lexus, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

Performance & Engineering

The 2026 Ford Explorer is built to drive well. A strong engine and a smooth smooth-shifting automatic transmission keep you in control. Handling feels calm and sure. The rear-wheel drive keeps traction high without killing the fun. Power comes from a refined turbocharged powertrain. And 18-inch black alloy wheels that come standard give it a planted, athletic stance. The result feels strong and polished on every drive. And inside, it gets even better.

Interior Luxury

Open the door of the 2026 Ford Explorer and settle in. Every detail is made for comfort, with room for 6. Features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Remote Start add a high-end feel you'll notice daily. Every control sits right where you want it. And safety tech has your back too.

Technology & Safety

The 2026 Ford Explorer has your back from the start. It helps you drive with less stress. Tech such as Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert cuts stress and boosts your view of the road. The result is a car that protects you and helps you drive with ease.
