There's lots to love about this 2025 Ford Explorer Platinum 2026. Here's a few key reasons that make this one stand out.
Includes Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane-Keeping System with Lane Departure Warning, Collision Mitigation-Front, BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Rear Cross-Traffic Braking, and 911 Assist for comprehensive driver assistance and safety.
Equipped with surround cameras (including left, right, front, and rear views), front and rear parking sensors, and a back-up camera with washer, providing enhanced visibility and ease of parking.
Features ActiveX trimmed heated and ventilated multicontour sport captain’s chairs, an 8-way power driver seat with memory, 6-way power front passenger seat, a heated leather steering wheel, and dual-zone front automatic climate control with separate rear HVAC.
A fixed glass sunroof with power sunshade brightens the first row while a power liftgate offers convenient cargo access.
The 2026 Explorer Platinum is equipped with a powerful turbocharged engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, outperforming competitors like the Toyota Highlander and Honda Pilot in terms of horsepower and performance.
With Class III towing equipment and a higher than average maximum towing capacity for its segment, the Explorer Platinum can tow up to 5,600 lbs—more than most 3-row midsize SUVs including the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.
Unlike many rivals that offer part-time AWD or front-wheel-drive-based systems, the Explorer Platinum features a full-time four-wheel-drive system with a 3.58 axle ratio, giving it superior all-weather and light off-road capability compared to the Hyundai Palisade and Chevrolet Traverse.
This trim comes standard with a comprehensive Aerial View Camera System (also known as a surround view system), front and rear sensors, and dedicated left/right cameras, which are not standard or available on most rivals—including the current Nissan Pathfinder and Mazda CX-90.
