Dealer Comments

The 2027 Ford Explorer Active stands out by offering an exceptionally robust standard equipment list at its price point, delivering features like navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, dual zone climate control, and a power driver seat without requiring expensive add-ons.

Value-driven shoppers who compare spec sheets will appreciate how this SUV brings together generous infotainment, comfort, and safety features as standard. It’s well-suited for analytical buyers in Lakeland, FL and beyond who prioritize maximizing amenities for every dollar spent while seeking proven practicality for daily commutes, family hauling, or weekend getaways. With three rows of seating and advanced connectivity, it checks boxes for families and tech-focused drivers who want modern conveniences included, not upcharged.

Performance-wise, the SUV’s 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine and 10-speed automatic transmission offer a strong balance of power and efficiency for the price. Its rear-wheel-drive platform provides confident handling and a composed ride, while the EPA-estimated 20 city/29 highway MPG means lower fuel costs over time compared to larger V6 alternatives. The maintenance-friendly four-cylinder configuration further translates to reduced long-term ownership costs, adding to the Explorer’s overall value proposition.

Safety features come generously equipped as standard, giving owners peace of mind without requiring upgrades. Included are dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, a knee airbag, and overhead airbags for comprehensive occupant protection. Advanced active safety tech like electronic stability control, traction control, brake assist, ABS brakes, a rearview camera, and emergency communication via 911 Assist are all standard. Many of these features are only found in higher trims or as packages on rival SUVs, enhancing the Explorer’s value.

The Explorer Active trim delivers a feature set tailored to maximize ownership benefits. Standard equipment includes a navigation system, SiriusXM with 360L, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, fully automatic headlights, auto high-beam headlights, heated door mirrors, speed-sensitive wipers, and a split folding third-row seat. Comfort and utility are addressed with automatic temperature control, front dual-zone A/C, a power driver seat, and remote keyless entry. These features collectively reduce the need for costly aftermarket upgrades and simplify day-to-day driving.

Against competitors like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the Explorer Active’s standard navigation, advanced connectivity, and robust suite of safety features stand out—while those rivals often require stepping up to higher trims or packages for similar amenities. The SUV’s efficient EcoBoost engine also delivers lower recurring fuel costs. Its standard equipment and technology offerings provide a tangible edge for value-focused buyers seeking maximum return on investment without sacrificing quality or daily comfort.

What features are included as standard equipment? Navigation, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, SiriusXM, rearview camera, dual-zone climate control, and multiple airbags all come standard. Is this SUV worth the price? Its comprehensive standard equipment, strong powertrain, and comfort features make it a high-value choice. Which trim offers the best value? The Active trim balances cost with included features, reducing the need for upgrades.
