So Ford is rebranding their manly "XLT" trim group "Active"?

Real he-man terminology. A real macho dude drives his Active F-150 down to the Cross-fit Club.

Maybe it's true that 65% of Millennial families have the female as the breadwinner, and that 45% of Ford trucks are chosen by women?

If trucks become Active, Ford, this is a bigger mistake than going all on with electric trucks.

First I've heard of it. Apparently its a trim level on Explorers but I know nothing more than that.

But I don't care either. Buying (or not buying) a vehicle because of it's name, would be like betting on horse, or buying a stock, for the same reason. i.e. Foolish.

I seen a new expedition “Active” today. Now I know why. I was trying to figure out that badging. That is definitely a badge I remove.

I have always loved my lil fruit cup Area 51 blue truck 😍, calling it an Active would be icing on the cake 💋

Come on boys, hop in my Area 51 Blue Active Rainbow Supreme edition, I don’t bite ;)

“Active” is name of one of the lower end Escape trims for the last couple years.

Boomers and their obsessing with appearing "manly" will never get old.
Yeah, we boomers were taught to embrace masculinity. You know, WW2, 'Nam, supporting a family, buying American, working with our hands and all those silly obsessions.

Glad Millennials became so enlightened and made this such a better place now.

"ACTIVE" pressed into your tailgate for sure.

Matching tattoo. (Just joking)
