Shop Explorer Trail Boss Conversion Vans

Compare Ford Transit Explorer Trail Boss conversion vans available through Dave Arbogast in Troy, Ohio, with nationwide delivery available. Current examples combine an AWD Transit platform with passenger-focused conversion equipment and adventure-styled exterior components.

Every Trail Boss is VIN-specific. Review its model year, Transit configuration, passenger capacity, roof, drivetrain, lift-related equipment, interior features, photographs, price, coverage and availability.

What Is an Explorer Trail Boss Van?

Explorer Van Company completes the Trail Boss as an adventure-styled passenger conversion on an underlying Ford Transit. Depending on the build, it may combine AWD with a raised roof, exterior-access equipment, upgraded passenger seating, rear climate control, entertainment and other conversion features.

Explorer identifies the conversion manufacturer, and Trail Boss identifies its package. This van is separate from Chevrolet pickup-truck trims that use the Trail Boss name.

What Should You Compare on an Explorer Trail Boss?

Ford Transit Platform

Confirm model year, Transit series, body length, roof, engine, AWD system, ratings and factory equipment.

Trail Boss Conversion

Review the Explorer package, floor plan, build documentation, lift-related components and installed options.

Seating and Capacity

Confirm installed seats, restraint positions, aisle and door access, seat movement and completed passenger capacity.

Roof and Clearance

Measure completed height, length, width and openings, including any roof rack, ladder, steps or exterior equipment.

Passenger Equipment

Test climate controls, seating functions, lighting, displays, audio, outlets, charging and powered components.

Tires and Running Gear

Verify wheels, tires, suspension or lift equipment, alignment, load ratings and towing equipment on the exact van.

AWD, Lift and Ground-Clearance Considerations

Current Trail Boss examples use Ford Transit AWD platforms and may include lift or body-leveling equipment. Verify the exact drivetrain and conversion components on the VIN because inventory and specifications can change.

AWD may improve traction during appropriate road and weather conditions, but it does not guarantee off-road capability. Vehicle length, height, weight, tires, ground clearance and overhangs still affect where the completed van can safely travel.

Confirm clearance, tire ratings, alignment, payload and towing information before carrying equipment or connecting a trailer. The completed-vehicle labels and VIN-specific documentation control.

Choose a Trail Boss for the Way You Travel

Family and Group Travel

Compare passenger comfort, restraint positions, luggage capacity, entertainment and access for the people traveling.

Outdoor-Activity Transport

Measure equipment, storage and openings, and confirm that loaded items can be secured without obstructing passengers or exits.

Business and Event Use

Evaluate presentation, seating, passenger amenities, connectivity, cargo needs and applicable commercial requirements.

Passenger Seating, Storage and Daily Access

Current examples may be described as nine-passenger vans, but capacity varies by completed build. Confirm installed seats and restraint positions on the capacity label, then compare aisle space, door access and seat movement.

Measure luggage and activity equipment against the usable storage and openings. Include roof-mounted equipment when checking garage, parking, drive-through and route clearance.
