Dealer Comments
Analytical shoppers seeking maximum return for their money will appreciate how the Explorer Active’s standard equipment list covers all the essentials and more, eliminating the need for expensive add-ons. The inclusion of third-row seating, SiriusXM radio with 360L, and advanced connectivity features makes this SUV particularly well-suited for families and commuters who expect technology and comfort as baseline requirements. In regions like Lakeland, FL, the standard dual-zone automatic temperature control and heated mirrors offer comfort and convenience for a range of weather conditions, further enhancing daily usability.
Performance-wise, the SUV features a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, providing a compelling power-to-price ratio that is rare in the segment. Drivers benefit from the engine’s efficient blend of power and fuel savings, with EPA ratings of 20 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. This translates into lower fuel costs over time, making it a smart financial choice for those focused on long-term operating expenses. The 10-speed automatic transmission contributes to smooth acceleration and optimized efficiency, reducing wear and tear and contributing to maintenance savings over time.
Safety value is strong in the Explorer Active, as key safety features come standard rather than as costly extras. This SUV is equipped with ABS brakes, a rearview camera, dual front and side impact airbags, knee airbag, electronic stability control, emergency communication system (911 Assist), auto high-beam headlights, brake assist, and traction control. Many competitors require buyers to pay extra for these features or bundle them into higher trims. The inclusion of both front and rear airbag protection, combined with electronic driver aids, ensures peace of mind on every trip without inflating the purchase price.
Standard equipment in the Explorer Active includes a navigation system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, SiriusXM with 360L, power driver seat, split folding third-row bench seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear air conditioning, and remote keyless entry. Functional benefits like speed-sensing steering, variably intermittent wipers, and a rear window defroster support safe and comfortable driving in daily and seasonal scenarios. The SUV also comes with a security system and fully automatic headlights, translating to well-rounded capability and convenience straight from the factory.
Value-wise, the Explorer Active competes favorably against segment rivals like the Honda Pilot and Chevrolet Traverse. While both competitors may require buyers to move up trim levels or select option packages for comparable features, the Explorer Active includes them as standard.
What’s included as standard equipment? The Explorer Active delivers navigation, smartphone integration, tri-zone climate, and advanced safety features—all without upgrade fees. Is this vehicle worth the price? Considering the standard tech, comfort, and safety, it holds strong value in the segment. Which trim offers the best value? The Active trim stands out for blending affordability with a high feature count.
Maximizing value without compromising quality, Lakeland Automall offers the 2026 Ford Explorer Active at 1430 W Memorial Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33815.
