Even though the “body-on-frame” SUV is considered the truly capable body style, that doesn’t mean that the more crossover-based Ford Explorer eschews capability completely. In fact, it’s gotten more so than ever, thanks to a recent update. But if you want an off-road ready SUV with a bit more without paying out the nose, the Platinum model offers a stellar value.
The Explorer Platinum pads its capability resume with a twin-turbocharged V6 with 365 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, a 5,000 lb. tow rating, and weighted steering and taut suspension. There’s also a Terrain Management System (a favorite of Kelley Blue Book) that lets you toggle between gravel, grass, sand, snow, and mud. But there are upscale amenities on tap, too—such as Nirvana leather, heated and ventilated seats, premium audio, SYNC 3 infotainment, and more.
If you’re aiming to do a bit more “exploring” before choosing your next vehicle, you’re free to do so at our Ford dealership in Fenton, MI. Contact our showroom at your convenience to learn more about what we offer in the realm of models, services, and loan/lease options.
