The 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder under the hood of this 2027 Ford Explorer Active is not a timid engine. It pulls hard, revs clean, and routes power through a 10-speed automatic that keeps you in the right gear without any drama. Four-wheel drive is standard on this one, so when conditions get ugly, you have real traction behind you and not just a badge on the door. This is a family-sized SUV that still makes you want to find the long way home.
The Active trim is set up to go. Four-wheel independent suspension soaks up the rough stuff without turning the cabin into a pinball machine, and front and rear anti-roll bars keep body lean in check through corners. On the highway you are pulling 27 MPG from that turbocharged four, which is respectable given that this truck seats seven with a third-row bench. The 18-inch Sparkle Silver-painted aluminum wheels fill the wells nicely, and body-color bumpers give the exterior a purposeful, cohesive look.
Inside, the Explorer Active gives you heated mirrors, a power driver seat, dual-zone automatic climate control, and front bucket seats with a center armrest. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect your phone without fuss. The navigation system and SiriusXM with 360L handle the rest of your road-trip needs. Six speakers cover the audio side, and if you want something bigger in the sound department, that is a good conversation to have with us. Safety gear includes a full complement of airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, auto high-beam headlights, a rear camera, and Ford's 911 Assist emergency communication system.
This Explorer Active is priced at $50,602 and sitting on our lot right now. Give us a call at 978-228-5021 to get more details or to set up a test drive at AutoFair Ford of Haverhill. We would love to put you in the driver's seat and let the EcoBoost do the talking.
