HOME OF PARKS PLUS WITH NATIONWIDE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

School bags, groceries, luggage, sports gearthis 2027 Ford Explorer Active is set up for the kind of cargo that changes from one day to the next. The 50/50 fold-flat third row lets you trade passenger space for room behind the second row without turning loading into a project, and the power liftgate makes the routine easier when your hands are full. Tri-zone electronic temperature control helps keep the whole cabin comfortable, while Space Gray ActiveX seating gives the interior a clean, modern look that works just as well for family duty as it does for a longer road trip.

The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 and 10-speed automatic keep this rear-wheel-drive Explorer responsive without making it excessive for everyday use. Six selectable drive modes give the driver flexibility as conditions change, and the standard Class III Trailer Tow Package with Trailer Sway Control adds another layer of usefulness when a small boat, utility trailer or recreational gear is part of the weekend. The EPA rates this configuration at 23 MPG combined, which helps it stay realistic for regular commuting between Wesley Chapel, New Tampa and Tampa. Every new vehicle from Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel also includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, adding long-term ownership value from day one.

The Active Comfort Package earns its name with equipment you notice every time you drive: heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, LED fog lamps, LED signature lighting and an 8-way power passenger seat. The included 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit adds useful backup for longer trips, while the exterior keypad gives you another way into the vehicle without digging for the key. Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat gives this Explorer a richer finish than the usual neutral family-SUV color, and the 18-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels keep the overall look clean rather than overly sporty.

Florida ownership brings its own wear, which is why Parks Plus fits naturally here. Paint and fabric protection, rain repellent, headlight protection, cabin sanitizer with antimicrobial treatment and nitrogen tire service help address the sun, sudden storms and everyday use an SUV like this sees around Land O Lakes, Zephyrhills and the rest of Tampa Bay. Auto LED headlamps, heated power mirrors with approach lamps and rear privacy glass add practical touches for early mornings, rain and hot afternoons. A body-color rear spoiler and LED taillamps finish the exterior without making the Active look dressed beyond its purpose.

A 13.2-inch center display runs Ford Digital Experience with Google Maps and the Google Play Store, while the 12.3-inch digital cluster keeps driving information directly ahead. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto give you another familiar way to connect, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ adds driver-assist support for crowded roads and longer highway stretches. The rear-view camera helps when backing into a driveway or parking space, and keyless entry with push-button start keeps the daily routine simple.

Connected capability is built in through the 5G modem, Ford app support and the included one-year Ford Connectivity trial. A one-year Security Package is included as well. None of it overwhelms the cabin; it is there to make navigation, communication and vehicle access easier while the Explorer keeps doing what families need mostcarrying people, adapting its cargo space and staying comfortable through a full Tampa Bay day.
