2026 Ford Explorer Platinum RWD in Carbonized Gray Metallic

The 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum RWD is built for families who want real three-row space without giving up comfort, technology, or style. Carbonized Gray Metallic gives this Explorer a refined, modern look, while the Mojave Dusk leather-trimmed interior brings the upscale feel expected from the Platinum trim.

Power comes from a 2.3L EcoBoost engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive gives the Explorer a balanced, confident feel on the road, and selectable drive modes let you adjust its response for different conditions. EPA-estimated fuel economy of 24 MPG combined helps make it practical for commuting, school runs, and longer trips around Florida.

The Platinum cabin is designed to make every seat more comfortable. Heated and ventilated multicontour front seats with Active Motion help reduce fatigue during longer drives, while heated second-row seats keep passengers comfortable. A heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, ambient lighting, USB-C ports in every row, a 110-volt power outlet, and a PowerFold third row make the interior easy to use for daily life.

A 13.2-inch touchscreen runs the Ford Digital Experience with Google Maps, Google Play, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. The 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster keeps key information directly in front of the driver, while the 14-speaker B&O sound system gives music, calls, and podcasts a premium sound.

BlueCruise is included with a one-year plus 90-day plan, adding hands-free highway driving capability on compatible roads. Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0, a 360-degree camera, rain-sensing wipers, remote start, push-button start, and power-folding auto-dimming mirrors make daily driving, parking, and highway travel easier.

The Class III Trailer Tow Package and trailer sway control add useful capability for a properly equipped boat, utility trailer, or recreational gear. Front and rear skid-plate elements, satin roof rails, privacy glass, adaptive LED headlamps, LED fog lamps, and 20-inch Nickel-painted aluminum wheels complete a polished exterior with plenty of everyday function.
