Dealer Comments
Tech-focused buyers who prioritize connectivity and digital convenience will find this SUV especially appealing. With features like a wireless smartphone interface, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and a memory seat system, it enables seamless transitions from home to vehicle, perfect for commuters and families in Lakeland, FL who want to stay productive and entertained on the road. The inclusion of heated and ventilated seating, a heated steering wheel, and multiple charging options meets the expectations of users who rely on their devices throughout the day.
Driving the Explorer Platinum is enhanced by a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, providing refined control and smooth acceleration. The SUV’s electronic stability control and selectable drive modes adapt to varied road conditions, while speed-sensing steering and traction control ensure responsive handling. These digital systems work together to offer a composed ride, whether cruising on highways or navigating city traffic, and help maximize efficiency with an EPA-rated 20 city and 29 highway MPG.
Smart safety is built into every journey with a host of electronic driver assistance technologies. The exterior parking camera rear, rain-sensing wipers, and emergency communication system (911 Assist) are complemented by ABS brakes, dual front and side impact airbags, and an overhead airbag system. These features leverage real-time data from sensors and cameras, actively supporting safe lane changes and parking maneuvers, while the security system and speed-sensitive wipers add extra layers of automated protection and convenience.
This Explorer Platinum includes the Equipment Group 600A Standard Package, delivering premium amenities such as a power liftgate, remote keyless entry, and a garage door transmitter. The Ford Connectivity Package enables advanced features like remote vehicle access, navigation, and over-the-air update capability. Interior luxury is evident with Mojave Dusk/Onyx leather seating, a 14-speaker audio system, automatic temperature control, and power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, all designed to keep drivers and passengers connected and comfortable.
Against competitors like the Chevrolet Traverse High Country and Toyota Highlander Platinum, the Explorer Platinum’s tech suite excels with its large infotainment screen, dedicated Ford Connectivity Package, and over-the-air update capabilities. While rivals may offer similar comfort, the Explorer’s integration of smartphone apps, advanced voice controls, and robust digital cockpit features make it the superior choice for tech-driven families and commuters seeking to stay connected in an increasingly digital world.
Does the Explorer Platinum offer wireless CarPlay or Android Auto? Yes—seamless smartphone integration lets you connect wirelessly for navigation, music, and calls. What driver assistance technology is included? It features parking cameras, rain-sensing wipers, and 911 Assist for smart, proactive safety.
