2026 Ford Explorer

Platinum Mode: Family Luxury With a Wild Side This 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum 4WD is the kind of SUV that makes everything feel handled. Finished in Rapid Red Metallic with a Slate Crystal Gray leather-trimmed interior, it looks premium, feels premium, and moves like it belongs at the front of the pack whether youre gliding through South Lyon, cruising past Novi, or rolling into Ypsilanti with the whole day under control. Power comes from the 2.3L EcoBoost paired with a 10-speed automatic, so its smooth when you want it to be and confident when you need it. It settles in fast on I-96, runs US-23 like it was designed for it, and stays composed on M-14 when traffic and timing are both trying to test your patience. Inside is where Platinum earns its name: a 13.2-inch touchscreen command center, ambient lighting that changes the whole mood at night, and the kind of comfort that makes long drives feel shorter. The front seats are heated and ventilated, the second-row is heated too, and the third-row power-fold seat lets you flex between seven passengers and bring everything without turning it into a whole production. Add in the B&O sound system and it becomes a rolling sanctuary, not just transportation. Youve also got the practical confidence features that make busy families and long commutes feel easier: 360-degree camera, keyless entry with push-button start, and drive modes that let you tailor the Explorer to the road and the moment. And yes, its equipped for real capability too with the Class III Trailer Tow Package and trailer sway control, so lake weekends, small campers, or the toy-hauler life is absolutely on the table. Now take that Platinum energy and spread it across the tri-state like you mean it. In Ohio, roll Perrysburg, slide through Maumee, and cruise into Toledo across Lucas County, Wood County, and Ottawa County with I-75, US-20, and OH-2 keeping you moving. Then head west into Indiana for Fort Wayne, New Haven, and Leo-Cedarville, crossing Allen County, DeKalb County, and Noble County on I-69, US-30, and IN-3 like the whole region is your driveway.
