This Platinum trim reflects Ford's commitment to quality materials and thoughtful engineering. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission delivers capable performance while achieving 20 city and 27 highway MPG. The 4WD system provides confident handling across varied driving conditions, and the four-wheel independent suspension absorbs road imperfections with composure.
Your driving experience benefits from a comprehensive suite of convenience features. The power-adjustable driver and passenger seats include both heating and ventilation, while the telescoping and tilt steering wheel adjusts to your preferred position. Automatic climate control with front and rear zones ensures all passengers remain comfortable, and dual-zone front air conditioning allows independent temperature preferences.
Safety forms the foundation of this Explorer's design. The system includes dual front impact airbags, front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags across the cabin. Electronic stability control, traction control, four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, and a low tire pressure warning system work together to help you maintain control. The exterior parking camera provides visibility when reversing, while the emergency communication system with 911 Assist offers additional peace of mind.
The technology integration keeps you seamlessly connected. The Ford Connectivity Pack provides 5G connectivity for the Ford Digital Experience with unlimited Wi-Fi hotspot capabilityâ"a one-time purchase that remains active for seven years on this vehicle. Navigation guides you efficiently, while the B&O premium audio system with HD radio and SiriusXM ensures quality entertainment throughout your drives.
The Platinum's design details signal its elevated status. The 21" Bright Machined Aluminum wheels with tarnish dark pockets enhance the Black exterior, while Platinum badges on the front row seats identify your trim level. Body-color bumpers, a rear spoiler, and turn signal indicator mirrors contribute to cohesive exterior styling.

So far so good - smooth ride - plenty of power for a 2.3 liter 4 cyl which coming from someone who drove a 5.0 V8 for 20 yrs- much better on gas
