Description
This 2026 Ford Explorer Active 4WD in Agate Black Metallic is designed for people who dont slow their lives down just because they added more seats. It pulls out of Hillsdale smoothly, feels confident navigating Adrian traffic, and settles into the drive when US-12 opens up or I-69 stretches ahead. Across Hillsdale County, Lenawee County, and Branch County, this Explorer feels composed, balanced, and ready for whatever the day stacks next, whether thats work, family, or a last-minute change of plans.
Power comes from the 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 paired with a 10-speed automatic, delivering strong response without feeling heavy or rushed. The 4WD system adds confidence when weather shifts or roads get less cooperative, while the ride stays smooth and controlled for long drives and daily routines alike. This is an SUV that feels light on its feet but solid where it counts.
Inside, the Explorer Active leans into modern clarity. The 12.3-inch digital cluster and 13.2-inch center touchscreen keep information clean and easy to read, while SYNC® 4 with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto makes staying connected effortless. Rotary gear shift, push-button start, and intelligent access keep everything intuitive. The Dark Space Gray cloth interior feels durable and comfortable, with heated front seats and a power driver seat that settle you in quickly. Multiple USB ports across all rows keep everyone powered and content without clutter.
Confidence tech is built into every mile. Adaptive Cruise Control, BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert, and Lane-Keeping help reduce fatigue on longer drives, while Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking and Post-Collision Braking work quietly in the background when traffic gets unpredictable. Tight spaces are handled easily with a Rear View Camera, Reverse Sensing, and selectable drive modes that let the Explorer adapt to changing conditions instead of forcing you to.
On the outside, the Explorer Active carries a clean, athletic look. LED headlamps, LED taillamps, privacy glass, black roof-rack side rails, and silver-painted aluminum wheels give it presence without trying too hard. The III trailer Tow package adds flexibility for small trailers, bikes, or weekend gear, while trailer sway control keeps everything settled when youre on the move.
This Explorer also travels well beyond Michigan. It moves comfortably through Toledo, Perrysburg, and Bowling Green, crossing Lucas County, Wood County, and Fulton County along I-75, US-20, and US-24 with ease. Head west and it carries that same confident rhythm into Fort Wayne, Auburn, and Angola, tracking Allen County, DeKalb County, and Steuben County along I-69, US-30, and I-469 without feeling stretched or overwhelmed. Its built for families who go places, not just vehicles that sit still.
Because Everything We Do Is Driven By You.
