HOME OF PARKS PLUS WITH NATIONWIDE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.


The second row is where this 2027 Ford Explorer Platinum starts to feel different from an ordinary three-row SUV. Heated second-row seats, Mojave Dusk leather, a panoramic Vista Roof and a PowerFold third row make it easy to move from school-day duty in New Tampa to a full family weekend out of Wesley Chapel. The third row can disappear when luggage or sports gear takes priority, while the 110V/150W outlet and smart-charging USB ports help keep devices powered when everyone is along for the ride.

This Platinum also brings more engine than the typical family crossover. The 3.0L EcoBoost V6 is paired with a 10-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive, giving it strong passing power and a smooth highway character. Six selectable drive modes let the driver tailor the response as conditions change, while the Class III Trailer Tow Package and Trailer Sway Control add flexibility for a small boat, utility trailer or recreational gear headed toward Land O Lakes, Zephyrhills or Dade City. Every new vehicle from Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, adding long-term value to an SUV designed to cover real miles.

Star White Metallic Tri-Coat gives this Explorer a clean, upscale look, especially with the 21-inch dark alloy aluminum wheels and satin-chrome exterior accents. Adaptive LED headlamps and LED signature lighting sharpen the appearance after dark, while the open-on-approach liftgate makes loading easier when both hands are occupied. The included 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit is the kind of practical detail that matters most when a road trip does not go exactly as planned.

The front cabin is built for long stretches behind the wheel. Multicontour front seats with Active Motion, heating and ventilation, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, driver memory and tri-zone climate control make commuting through Tampa or heading north toward Brooksville noticeably easier. Parks Plus adds Florida-focused protection where this Platinum is most exposed, including paint and fabric protection, rain repellent and headlight protection for the sun, storms and everyday road use that come with Tampa Bay driving.

BlueCruise equipment is included with the listed 1-year plus 90-day plan, bringing hands-free driving assistance to compatible highways. Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, the 360-degree camera and rain-sensing wipers cover the lower-speed and bad-weather side of ownership, helping in tight garages, crowded parking lots and sudden afternoon storms. The 12.3-inch digital cluster keeps key information in the drivers view, while the 13.2-inch center screen runs Ford Digital Experience with Google Maps and the Google Play Store.

The technology continues without taking over the cabin. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto give you another familiar way to connect, while the B&O 14-speaker sound system gives the Platinum the audio quality it deserves. A 5G modem, Ford app capability, the included one-year Ford Connectivity trial and the one-year Security Package extend connected functions beyond the dashboard. Remote start, push-button start, the exterior keyless-entry keypad and universal garage-door opener handle the smaller conveniences that quickly become part of the routine.

This Explorer is built for the buyer who wants real three-row usefulness but does not want the vehicle to feel purely practical. The 3.0L EcoBoost gives it muscle, the Platinum cabin makes the miles easier, and the towing and technology packages keep it useful when the family schedule reaches beyond the commute.
