The sixth-generation Ford Explorer is a real modern family SUV that fans expect to see all over GTA 6. Rockstar has not confirmed an Explorer look-alike, and there is no official in-game name for one. Sold since 2020, this Explorer generation switched to a rear-wheel-drive-based unibody platform, offering three rows of seats in a shape built for comfortable daily driving rather than off-road use. It sits among the most common SUVs on real American roads today. A common modern SUV like this is exactly the kind of background vehicle GTA cities are built on, which likely explains the fan interest. Rockstar has not confirmed it, and any version would use one of its own fictional makes rather than the real Ford badge.
You cannot unlock this yet because it is unconfirmed and has no in-game name. The pick is based on how popular the current Explorer is with real families. If a similar SUV appears, expect comfortable, planted handling with some body lean and steady, everyday acceleration.
