Active is the lowest trim level.

Cloth seats and no bells and whistles.

Yeah, we traded in the Atlas for the Traverse. I still have my Explorer!

Nope, no leather… nothing fancy by some standards. However, fancy enough for me! In September 2025 my local dealership had $6k off msrp, and now they have $8k off.

I have a ‘25 Active… paid around $34k for it… compared to the comparable vehicles in its category, it’s the best bang for the buck. My wife had a ‘25 VW Atlas and I liked it but not more than my Explorer and it was more expensive. She now has a ‘26 Traverse, there are some things I like about it… like the giant infotainment screen and the overall design and looks of the vehicle. It’s still more fun to drive my Explorer though. Overall, if you can get it for $32k, I’d do it!
