Vehicle Details
Description
Pragmatic buyers looking for an SUV that delivers strong reliability and Low long-term costs will find the Explorer Active especially appealing. Its efficient turbocharged engine and 10-speed automatic transmission are designed to minimize maintenance needs while supporting daily commutes, long road trips, and family errands. In a region like St. Louis, where weather and terrain demand flexibility, the Explorer’s all-weather capability and three-Row seating make it a practical choice for both urban and suburban lifestyles.

Features such as dual front and side impact airbags, knee airbag, and emergency communication via 911 Assist help safeguard long-term investment by minimizing potential repair costs in unexpected situations.

Amenities include three-Row bench seating, front dual zone automatic climate control, rear air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio with SiriusXM and 360L. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep drivers connected, while navigation and steering wheel audio controls add everyday convenience.
