If the 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum had a business card, it would just say The Boss because this thing means serious business. Under the hood sits a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, and with 4-wheel drive on board, it handles whatever the road throws at it without breaking a sweat. Getting 20 city and 27 highway MPG out of a full-size SUV with this much capability is no small feat, so you could say this Explorer really knows how to go the extra mile. Literally.
Step inside and things get even better, because the Platinum trim is basically a rolling luxury suite. The ActiveX trimmed Captain's Chairs up front are heated AND ventilated, because comfort should work in all seasons. The third-row bench means you can bring the whole crew without anyone drawing straws for who gets left behind. A Bang and Olufsen sound system with 14 speakers makes every commute feel like a front-row concert, and the navigation system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto means you will always be steered in the right direction. We are not saying this SUV is smarter than you, but it does have a trip computer, a heads-up compass, and rain-sensing wipers, so it is at least very well prepared.
The safety features on this Explorer are no joke, even if we are. You get a full suite of airbags including overhead, knee, and occupant-sensing airbags, plus electronic stability control, traction control, ABS brakes, and even a 911 Assist emergency communication system. Outside, the 20-inch Luster Nickel-Painted Aluminum wheels look sharp rolling up to any occasion, and the power liftgate means you never have to put down your groceries to load the back. Auto high-beam headlights, fog lamps, auto-dimming mirrors, and a rear parking camera round out a package that is as practical as it is good-looking.
