Description
Designed for families, commuters, and weekend explorers alike, this 2026 Ford Explorer Active 4WD finished in striking Vapor Blue delivers the versatility and technology that made the Explorer One of Americas most trusted SUVs. With confident capability, modern connectivity, and three rows of flexible space, its built to handle daily life across the Midwest with ease.
Under the hood, the responsive 2.3L EcoBoost® engine pairs with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, delivering strong performance and impressive efficiency for a three-Row SUV. The intelligent four-wheel-drive system adds traction and confidence through changing seasons, making the Explorer just as comfortable in winter conditions as it is on summer road trips.
Inside, the spacious cabin welcomes passengers with durable Light Space Gray ActiveX seating, blending comfort with easy-to-maintain practicality. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel bring welcome warmth during cold Michigan mornings, while tri-zone automatic climate control keeps every Row comfortable no matter how long the drive.
The flexible interior layout includes a third-Row 50/50 fold-flat seat, allowing the Explorer to quickly adapt between passenger duty and cargo hauling. Both the power driver seat and power passenger seat make it easy to find the perfect driving position for longer trips or daily commuting.
Technology takes center stage with the expansive 13.2-inch touchscreen display powered by SYNC® 4, working alongside the crisp 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster to keep information clear and accessible. Seamless smartphone integration through Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto keeps your apps and media right where you need them, while remote start and a convenient power liftgate make everyday errands easier.
Driver confidence is strengthened by Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+, an advanced suite of driver-assist technologies designed to help monitor traffic and support the driver in a variety of conditions. Combined with Selectable Drive Modes, the Explorer adapts easily to changing road surfaces and weather.
Daily life around southern Michigan might take this Explorer through Coldwater, Marshall, and Tecumseh, cruising along US-12, M-60, and M-86 across Branch County, Calhoun County, and Lenawee County, before stretching south through Bryan, Wauseon, and Defiance along US-24, State Route 66, and State Route 108 across Williams County, Fulton County, and Defiance County, then continuing west into Indiana through Angola, Auburn, and Kendallville while traveling I-69, US-6, and State Road 8 across Steuben County, DeKalb County, and Noble County.
Because Everything We Do Is Driven By You.
