HOME OF PARKS PLUS WITH NATIONWIDE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

A three-row SUV does not have to be overloaded with luxury equipment to make daily life easier. This 2027 Ford Explorer Active RWD keeps the focus on the things families use most: flexible seating, strong technology, useful towing capability and comfort where it counts. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 works with a 10-speed automatic, and the EPA rates this configuration at 23 MPG combined, 20 city and 28 highway. That is a practical mix for regular miles through Wesley Chapel, New Tampa and Land O Lakes without giving up the room of a full-size family schedule.

The Active Comfort Package is what makes this one feel noticeably better than a basic Explorer. Heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, remote start, LED fog lamps, LED signature lighting and an 8-way power passenger seat all show up in places you notice every day. Tri-zone automatic climate control helps keep all three rows comfortable, while the 50/50 fold-flat third row lets you change from passenger space to cargo room when groceries, sports gear or luggage take priority. Every new vehicle from Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel also includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, adding long-term ownership value without changing the simple reason this Explorer works: it is easy to use.

Technology is spread across the cabin instead of feeling like one giant gimmick. A 12.3-inch digital cluster sits directly in front of the driver, while the 13.2-inch center display runs Ford Digital Experience with Google Maps and the Google Play Store. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ adds driver-assist support for crowded New Tampa traffic or longer runs toward Tampa. A 5G modem, Ford app capability and the included one-year Ford Connectivity trial support connected functions, while the one-year Security Package adds another ownership benefit. Keyless entry with push-button start and the exterior keypad make the routine even easier when your hands are full.

There is useful capability here too. The standard Class III Trailer Tow Package and Trailer Sway Control give this rear-wheel-drive Explorer flexibility for a small boat, utility trailer or weekend gear headed toward Zephyrhills or Dade City. Six selectable drive modes let you tailor the vehicle to changing conditions, and the rear-view camera helps when backing into a driveway, parking space or trailer setup. The included 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit is the kind of practical equipment that rarely gets attention until the day you need it.

Avalanche Gray gives the Explorer a clean, understated look, matched with 18-inch silver-painted aluminum wheels, rear privacy glass, a body-color rear spoiler and LED taillamps. Heated power mirrors with approach lamps and the power liftgate add convenience without changing the straightforward Active personality. Parks Plus adds Florida-focused protection where it makes sense, including paint and fabric protection, rain repellent, headlight protection and cabin-focused treatments that help with heat, storms and everyday family use.

What this Explorer does best is stay out of its own way. It gives you three rows, good highway efficiency, modern connected technology, towing flexibility and the comfort features most families actually care about. For school runs around Wesley Chapel, commuting through New Tampa or a weekend drive north toward Brooksville, it covers a lot of ground without making you pay for a personality you do not need.
