Notes from the dealer
This SUV is well-suited for buyers who prioritize comfort, versatility, and advanced features in their next family vehicle. The Explorer Platinumâs three rows of seating and premium leather captainâs chairs make it ideal for families with active lifestyles who need flexible space for passengers and cargo. In regions like Sw Mt Vernon, IA, where weather can be unpredictable, the 4WD system and heated amenitiesâ"including front and rear seats and a heated steering wheelâ"add confidence and comfort throughout the year. If regular travel with family or group outings is part of your routine, the Explorerâs thoughtfully designed interior and panoramic Vista Roof create a welcoming and airy cabin environment.
Under the hood, the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 provides robust acceleration and smooth power delivery, making highway merging and city driving equally effortless. The 10-speed automatic transmission responds quickly to driver inputs, contributing to refined shifting and improved fuel economy. The four-wheel-drive system ensures strong grip on slick or uneven surfaces, supporting secure handling in all seasons. Independent suspension and speed-sensing steering further enhance ride composure, so whether youâre navigating urban streets or venturing out on weekend getaways, this SUV maintains a calm and controlled feel.
Safety is a central focus in the Explorer Platinum, which comes equipped with advanced active and passive features. Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and electronic stability control help maintain control during sudden maneuvers or slippery conditions. Multiple airbagsâ"including knee, side, and overheadâ"provide layered occupant protection. The rearview camera aids parking and reversing, while rain-sensing wipers and automatic high-beam headlights optimize visibility during adverse weather. An emergency communication system, 911 Assist, adds peace of mind by connecting occupants with help when needed.
The SUVâs feature set centers around well-appointed luxury and convenience. The 3.0L Ultimate Package, Equipment Group 600A Standard Package, and Platinum Badges on the seats underscore its top-tier status. Entertainment is handled by a 14-speaker system with SiriusXM 360L, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, while navigation and a premium leather interior offer both connectivity and comfort. The panoramic Vista Roof with power shade, memory seating, ventilated front seats, and rear air conditioning enhance the daily ownership experience. Power liftgate and Universal Garage Door Opener add functional ease for busy households.
Against segment competitors like the Chevrolet Traverse High Country and Toyota Highlander Platinum, the Explorer Platinum stands out with its powerful EcoBoost engine and truly luxurious interior finishes.
What are the key features of this SUV? The Explorer Platinum includes premium leather seating, panoramic Vista Roof, 14-speaker audio, navigation, heated and ventilated seats, and advanced connectivity.

Love it.

Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise. - 5.0
