A premium three-row SUV should feel easy to live with, not oversized or cumbersome. This new 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum 4WD gives families the passenger room, cargo flexibility, comfort, and technology they need while remaining manageable for daily driving throughout Wesley Chapel and Tampa Bay.

Space White Metallic gives the Explorer a crisp, upscale appearance, complemented by 21-inch ultra-bright machined aluminum wheels, satin chrome accents, adaptive LED headlamps, signature lighting, satin roof rails, and rear privacy glass. Power-heated auto-folding mirrors and rain-sensing wipers add convenience to the polished Platinum design.

Mojave Dusk leather-trimmed seating creates a distinctive cabin that feels warmer and more refined than the usual all-black interior. The Lux Leather Package adds heated and ventilated multicontour front seats with Active Motion, while heated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, and USB-C ports in every row help keep passengers comfortable.

The PowerFold third row allows the cabin to change quickly as plans change. Keep all three rows available for passengers, or fold the rear seats for luggage, groceries, sports equipment, or vacation gear. A power liftgate and 110-volt outlet make loading and travel easier.

A panoramic moonroof brings natural light into all three rows, while the 14-speaker B&O sound system delivers premium audio throughout the cabin. A 12.3-inch digital cluster and 13.2-inch touchscreen provide a clear interface for entertainment, navigation, vehicle settings, and connected services.

Ford Digital Experience includes Google Maps and access to the Google Play Store. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM with 360L, Ford App connectivity, remote start, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and a 5G modem help keep the Explorer connected.

The BlueCruise plan includes one year plus 90 days of hands-free highway driving on compatible prequalified roads when conditions permit. Ford Co-Pilot360 Active 2.0 and a 360-degree camera add assistance in traffic, parking lots, and tighter spaces.

Power comes from a 2.3L EcoBoost engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Selectable drive modes, independent suspension, Hill Start Assist, trailer sway control, and a Class III Trailer Tow Package add useful capability for family trips and recreational equipment.
