Performance & Capability

Underneath the hood, the 2027 Ford Explorer Active is driven by an EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 direct-injection engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Active grille shutters and a regenerative alternator enhance overall efficiency, contributing to an estimated 20 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. Driver-selectable drivetrain modes allow you to tailor power delivery to match varying road conditions with confidence. The chassis is engineered with independent front strut suspension and a multi-link rear setup, supported by gas-pressurized shock absorbers and 18-inch Sparkle Silver-Painted Aluminum wheels wrapped in P255/65HR18 all-season tires. For utility and hauling, this model comes equipped with a Class III tow rating, a factory trailer hitch, a trailer wiring harness, and trailer sway control to keep towed loads stable behind you.
