Agate Black Metallic and 18-inch silver painted wheels give this new 2027 Ford Explorer Active 4WD at Michigan City Ford in Michigan City, Indiana a clean, classic look, and the equipment list goes further than you might expect. A 2.3L EcoBoost, a 10-speed automatic, a 13.2-inch center display with Google Maps and the Play Store, heated front seats and a power liftgate make this a three-row family SUV that covers the essentials well.
The window sticker lists one priced option, an 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit at $400, which is also the original listed cost of added equipment here. It is a practical choice for anyone who regularly drives far from home. A second-row split bench with E-Z entry, a one-year security package and a one-year Ford connectivity trial are all listed at no charge, the 18-inch silver painted aluminum wheels wear P255/65R18 all-season tires, and Equipment Group 200A sets up the trim. Most of what makes this Explorer appealing comes standard with it.
Families will appreciate the layout. The second-row split bench seats more people, and E-Z entry helps kids and adults reach the third row, which folds flat in a 50/50 split when you need cargo room instead. Heated front-row seats and a power driver's seat make cold mornings easier, tri-zone electronic temperature control lets people in different parts of the vehicle choose their own comfort, and the seats are trimmed in Ultimate Dark Space Gray cloth. Smart charging USB ports and 12-volt powerpoints keep devices going, and the power liftgate is a real help when you are carrying groceries, strollers or sports gear.
The dash is modern and easy to use. A 12.3-inch cluster display works with the 13.2-inch center display running the Ford Digital Experience, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mean your phone connects without a cable. A 5G modem and the Ford app keep you connected, an AM/FM stereo with six speakers handles the music, and keyless entry with push-button start keeps your keys in your pocket. Tilt and telescoping steering with wheel-mounted controls, one-touch up and down driver and passenger windows and a tidy rotary gear shift dial add to the everyday ease. Six selectable drive modes let you adjust the Explorer for snow, rain or a dry highway.
Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ and a rear view camera support an attentive driver and do not replace one. The Personal Safety System, the Safety Canopy airbag system, a driver knee airbag, AdvanceTrac with roll stability control, individual tire pressure monitoring, a perimeter alarm and the SOS post-crash alert system add further protection. A Class III trailer tow package and trailer sway control are on the standard list. Outside, auto LED headlamps, heated mirrors with approach lamps, LED taillamps, rear door privacy glass and a body-color rear spoiler finish the look. EPA estimates are 20 city, 27 highway and 23 combined mpg, and actual results will vary. Families from Chesterton, New Buffalo, Michigan and Westville will find it an easy trip to see this Explorer.
