HOME OF PARKS PLUS WITH NATIONWIDE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

A Platinum should make the people inside feel the difference before they ever notice the badge. This 2027 Ford Explorer Platinum 4WD does that with Crystal Gray leather seating, multicontour front seats with Active Motion, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel. The panoramic Vista Roof with power shade opens up the cabin, while the PowerFold third row lets you trade passenger space for cargo room without turning it into a project. For school days in New Tampa, family runs through Wesley Chapel or a weekend headed north, that flexibility matters every time the plan changes.

BlueCruise is already part of this build with the listed 1-year plus 90-day plan, adding hands-free driving assistance on compatible highways. Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, the 360-degree camera and rain-sensing wipers add useful support in the situations that are less glamorous but more frequent: I-75 traffic, tight garages, crowded parking lots and sudden Florida weather. A 12.3-inch digital cluster keeps key information directly ahead, while the 13.2-inch center display runs Ford Digital Experience with Google Maps and the Google Play Store. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are there when you prefer your phones familiar interface.

The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 works with a 10-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, giving this Platinum a practical balance between everyday efficiency and capability. The EPA rates it at 23 MPG combined, 20 city and 27 highway. Six selectable drive modes give the driver more flexibility as road conditions change, and the standard Class III Trailer Tow Package with Trailer Sway Control adds useful versatility 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 also includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty for added long-term ownership value.

Carbonized Gray Metallic gives the Explorer a clean, upscale look without being flashy. The 21-inch bright machined aluminum wheels with Tarnished Dark-painted pockets give the Platinum the right stance, while satin chrome exterior accents, adaptive LED headlamps and the open-on-approach liftgate finish the presentation with details that are both premium and useful. Rear privacy glass helps with Florida sun, and the included 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit is the kind of practical equipment you appreciate most when you actually need it.

The luxury side continues with the B&O 14-speaker sound system, ambient lighting, universal garage-door opener, 110V/150W AC outlet and smart-charging USB ports. A 5G modem, Ford app capability and the included one-year Ford Connectivity trial support connected vehicle functions, while the one-year Security Package adds another ownership benefit. Remote start and the exterior keyless-entry keypad fit naturally into everyday use, especially when the Explorer is parked outside in the Tampa Bay heat.

Parks Plus adds protection where a family SUV sees real wear, including paint and fabric protection, rain repellent, headlight protection and cabin-focused treatments for Florida ownership. That matters on an Explorer likely to spend its life carrying people, luggage, sports gear and everything else that comes with a busy week.

This Platinum does not rely on one oversized feature. The comfort is there for the family, the technology is there for the commute, the towing equipment is there for the weekend, and the four-wheel-drive hardware is there when the road or weather asks for more.
