Bought the carbonized gray 2025 active on Sep 30. Got the upgraded equipment group which included 20 inch wheels. Captain’s Chairs 2nd row and moonroof. Absolutely love it!

This will be my next vehicle for sure. I prefer the carbonized gray exterior color instead of the vapor blue you show here. As i feel it blends in the exterior black wheel arches better. Nicely done review explaining everything. I think the active trim is MORE than enough in terms of amenities and what you get with that package. As well as the piped in sound i love that feature. I've read a lot of complaints from folks on various Ford Forums that they don't like it. But i do and you forget your driving a 4cyl. The only things i wish they kept was the dual exhaust tips in the rear. Along with they could have body colored the side mirrors the same color as the rest of the vehicle. Instead of leaving them black. And given us dedicated HVAC buttons for the A/C, Defrost, etc...Instead of sorting through a busy menu from the touchscreen. Otherwise, job well done Ford.

I wish the dashboard had a selectable turbo boost display as available in the F150and Expedition. The turbo boost display allows you to control your economy or power demand. At 65-70mph I have gotten up to 26.5 mpg in the Expedition Max 4WD on the highway with 5 passengers. With 4 passengers in the Explorer 2.3L 4WD, my best milage was 30mpg.

The raspy sound is simulated through speakers not the tuning. Fake Engine Noise Generator is the common term. FENG for short

Rethoughtout. Is that a new word?
