The 2026 Explorer Active comes equipped with a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and 4WD capability, delivering responsive performance alongside efficiency. With an EPA rating of 20 city and 27 highway MPG, this three-row explorer balances power with practical fuel economy for families who refuse to compromise on either. The black exterior presents a refined, professional appearance that suits any occasion.
Your family's comfort is paramount, which is why this Explorer features unique cloth heated captain's chairs in the second row and a spacious three-row configuration. Whether you're navigating city streets or venturing into weather, automatic temperature control in the front dual zones keeps every occupant comfortable. Speed-sensing steering and four-wheel independent suspension work together to provide responsive handling and a smooth ride across all road conditions.
Connectivity and convenience features integrate seamlessly into your daily routine. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow you to access your favorite apps directly from the touchscreen, while Bluetooth connectivity maintains a wireless link to your devices. Ford Pass remote start means you can prepare your Explorer from inside your home, and the SiriusXM with 360L satellite radio keeps you entertained throughout your travels.
Safety technology throughout the Explorer Active demonstrates Ford's commitment to protecting your passengers. Dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags create comprehensive protection, while electronic stability control, traction control, and four-wheel disc brakes with ABS provide confident braking and handling. The exterior parking camera rear assists you during reversing maneuvers, and the emergency communication system with 911 Assist offers additional peace of mind.
Weather tech mats in all three rows help protect your interior from moisture and debris, demonstrating thoughtful interior design. The split-folding rear seats give you flexibility to accommodate passengers and cargo based on your needs, while the telescoping steering wheel and tilt steering ensure every driver finds their ideal position. Fully automatic headlights and rear window wiper with variably intermittent settings add practical convenience to daily driving.

So far so good - smooth ride - plenty of power for a 2.3 liter 4 cyl which coming from someone who drove a 5.0 V8 for 20 yrs- much better on gas - 4.0
Served our family well!

Trading my car in next week, I am gonna miss my Explorer. It’s been a good family car. Draw backs: the screen is glitchy at times. Some electronics malfunctioned and I won’t lie, they can be costly to fix. Comfortable, spacious. I never had any mechanical problems with the car, but I did take very good care of it at well. I maintained all recommended services and any replacements were all genuine Ford parts. I hope whoever buys our car, loves it as much as we did.
