Dealer Comments
The 2026 Ford Explorer Active stands out among midsize SUVs such as the Honda Pilot and Chevrolet Traverse by delivering a rare mix of advanced features and everyday usability at a highly competitive fuel economy.
Shoppers evaluating their next SUV and deciding among top-tier options will find the Explorer especially appealing if flexible space, technology connectivity, and ease of ownership are priorities. This SUV is a natural fit for families balancing workday commutes with weekend adventures, thanks to its third-row bench seating and rear air conditioning. For Lakeland, FL drivers navigating daily school runs and road trips, the Explorer's rear-wheel drive means smoother, more controlled rides on highways and city streets alike. Its blend of comfort features and user-friendly controls gives it a clear advantage for those who want both practicality and enjoyment in a single vehicle.
Performance-wise, while some competitors offer similar powertrains, the Explorer's 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers both responsive acceleration and smooth gear changes that keep driving relaxed yet capable. The rear-wheel drive architecture provides a dynamic feel often missing in front-wheel drive rivals, enhancing stability in varied conditions. Where the Honda Pilot and Chevrolet Traverse focus on comfort, the Explorer adds a layer of engaging control, making it ideal for drivers who value a confident, composed ride without sacrificing daily drivability or fuel efficiency, with EPA ratings of 20 city and 29 highway mpg.
Safety is a core strength, with the Explorer including standard features like ABS brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, brake assist, and an exterior parking camera rear. While some competitors charge extra for active safety systems, the Explorer equips drivers with essentials such as auto high-beam headlights, dual front and side impact airbags, a knee airbag, and an emergency communication system. This robust suite gives peace of mind for parents and frequent travelers, ensuring that every journey benefits from advanced protection without requiring additional packages.
Feature-rich from the start, the Explorer Active trim incorporates navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, and SiriusXM with 360L—all standard. Its split-folding rear seat and third-row bench maximize cargo and passenger flexibility, while speed-sensing steering and remote keyless entry add daily convenience. Drivers also benefit from heated door mirrors for clearer visibility and a suite of infotainment controls mounted directly on the steering wheel. These features combine to create a seamless, enjoyable driving experience that often surpasses what base models from competitors provide.
Stacked against the Honda Pilot and Chevrolet Traverse, this SUV consistently emerges as the value leader by offering a compelling set of standard features and superior fuel economy.
Why choose the Explorer over a competitor? Its standard technology suite—navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and SiriusXM with 360L—is often extra elsewhere. What does it offer that others don't? The combination of third-row seating, rear air conditioning, and advanced infotainment as standard equipment.
To learn more or experience the 2026 Ford Explorer Active in person, visit Lakeland Automall at 1430 W Memorial Blvd, Lakeland, FL 33815, or call (863) 577-5030. Expert staff can answer your questions about features, availability, and competitive comparisons to help you make an informed decision among today's top SUVs. Price includes: $1000 - SSE Down Payment Assistance $3000 - Retail Customer Cash $500 - Mega Bonus Cash
