The Active trim combines everyday practicality with thoughtful engineering. Its 2.3L EcoBoost engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers efficient performance, achieving 20 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. The rear-wheel drive configuration provides responsive handling while the four-wheel independent suspension absorbs road imperfections, keeping your passengers comfortable throughout your drive.
Inside, the cabin prioritizes passenger comfort and connectivity. Front bucket seats with power-adjustable driver positioning ensure you find your ideal driving posture, while the three-row bench seating accommodates up to eight occupants. Dual-zone automatic climate control maintains individual comfort preferences for front passengers, and rear air conditioning extends that comfort to those traveling behind. The telescoping steering wheel adapts to your preferred driving position for every member of your family.
Technology integrates seamlessly throughout the cabin. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity keep your smartphone accessible at all times, while the integrated navigation system guides you confidently to any destination. SiriusXM satellite radio with 360L expands your entertainment options with thousands of stations and on-demand content. Steering wheel-mounted audio controls and voice commands minimize distractions, allowing you to stay focused on the road.
Safety remains paramount in the Explorer Active's design. The vehicle features dual front and dual side impact airbags, along with knee and overhead airbags to protect occupants in various collision scenarios. Electronic Stability Control, traction control, and four-wheel disc ABS brakes work together to enhance stability and stopping power in diverse driving conditions. The rear-view camera provides visual confirmation when backing, while low tire pressure warning alerts you to maintain optimal tire condition.
Exterior refinements reflect the Active's well-rounded character. Body-color bumpers and a rear spoiler frame the vehicle's profile, while fully automatic headlights with auto high-beam functionality adapt to changing light conditions. Heated power mirrors defrost in winter weather, and speed-sensitive wipers adjust their rhythm to your driving conditions. An 18" spare tire with jack kit ensures preparedness for unexpected situations.
The 2026 Ford Explorer Active represents a balanced approach to family transportationâ"combining sensible technology, reliable performance, and practical design. Schedule your test drive today and experience how this three-row SUV can enhance your family's mobility.

Love it.
by Alex on 8/9/2026 11:55:02 PM
Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise. - 5.0
