About this vehicle
The 2027 Ford Explorer Active is designed for families who need everyday flexibility and space, offering three rows of seating that easily accommodate car seats, strollers, and backpacks. Parents managing busy schedules appreciate how this SUV’s fold-flat third row and split-rear seats handle everything from soccer equipment to family luggage. The roomy second row ensures car seat installation is hassle-free, making it ideal for families with young children transitioning to booster seats. In Lakeland’s varied climate, robust air conditioning and heated mirrors help keep everyone comfortable and ready for any adventure. With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it’s simple to keep the whole crew entertained or on schedule during commutes or road trips. A 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission gives the Explorer smooth, reliable acceleration, even when the cabin is full. Rear-wheel drive delivers confident, stable driving on highways and in city traffic, while the four-wheel independent suspension helps cushion rough roads for passengers. The EPA-estimated 20 city and 29 highway mpg mean fewer stops at the pump—handy for long family drives or day trips. Responsive steering and a quiet ride reduce fatigue, so parents and kids arrive refreshed on every outing. Keeping families safe is at the core of the Explorer’s design. It features dual front, front side, knee, and overhead airbags to protect all seating rows, while the LATCH system ensures secure installation of car seats in the second row. Blind-spot monitoring and a rearview camera simplify lane changes and backing up in crowded areas, providing peace of mind when the kids are on board. Automatic emergency braking and stability control work behind the scenes to help avoid potential accidents, so parents can focus on what matters most—their family’s safety. Thoughtful features support both daily routines and special trips. The Explorer Active includes navigation, SiriusXM with 360L, and a six-speaker sound system for entertainment and guidance. Automatic temperature control and dual-zone A/C keep the entire cabin comfortable, while remote keyless entry and a power driver seat add convenience for busy parents. The rear window wiper and defroster ensure clear visibility, and the split folding rear seat adapts quickly to changing cargo or seating needs. Compared to other three-row SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the Explorer stands out with its balance of real-world fuel efficiency and flexible seating. While competitors offer similar space, the Explorer’s combination of a turbocharged engine and advanced connectivity makes it especially suited for active families who value daily comfort and modern tech. The available powertrain warranty—5 years or 60,000 miles—reinforces its value for families planning to keep their vehicle for years of school runs and vacations. How many car seats fit in the back? The Explorer’s second row easily accommodates two car seats with LATCH anchors, and the third row adds extra flexibility for larger families or carpooling. Is this SUV safe for kids and teens? Multiple airbags, stability control, and blind-spot monitoring provide layered protection, while a rearview camera aids in busy parking lots.
