HOME OF PARKS PLUS WITH NATIONWIDE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

This 2027 Ford Explorer Platinum takes a slightly different route to premium SUV ownership: a 3.0L EcoBoost V6, 10-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive wrapped in a fully equipped three-row cabin. For someone covering pavement between Wesley Chapel, New Tampa and Tampa, it delivers the stronger V6 without adding four-wheel-drive hardware they may not need. Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, 21-inch dark alloy aluminum wheels and satin-chrome accents give it an upscale look, while Parks Plus adds Florida-focused protection such as paint and fabric protection, rain repellent and headlight protection.

Mojave Dusk leather seating changes the feel the moment you get in. The Lux Leather Package and multicontour front seats with Active Motion are built for comfort over longer stretches, while heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel keep more than just the driver in mind. The panoramic Vista Roof with power shade opens the cabin up, ambient lighting gives it a more finished feel after dark, and the PowerFold third row lets you change from passenger room to cargo space without wrestling with seatbacks.

BlueCruise equipment is included with the listed 1-year plus 90-day plan, giving you hands-free driving assistance on compatible highways. That is especially useful when the week includes longer runs from Land O Lakes toward Brooksville or regular time on I-75. At lower speeds, the 360-degree camera helps make garages, school pickup lines and crowded parking lots easier to judge. Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0 adds more driver-assist support, while adaptive LED headlamps and rain-sensing wipers help when Florida weather turns after dark.

The technology is built around two displays with different jobs. A 12.3-inch digital cluster keeps key information directly ahead, while the 13.2-inch center screen runs Ford Digital Experience with Google Maps and the Google Play Store. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto give you another familiar way to connect, and the 14-speaker B&O sound system gives music and podcasts the audio upgrade a Platinum should have. A 5G modem, Ford app capability, the included one-year Ford Connectivity trial and one-year Security Package extend the connected experience beyond the screen. Remote start, push-button start, the exterior keypad and universal garage-door opener handle the smaller conveniences that quickly become part of the routine.

This Explorer still has work to do when the weekend arrives. The standard Class III Trailer Tow Package and Trailer Sway Control add flexibility for a small boat, utility trailer or recreational gear headed toward Zephyrhills or Dade City. Six selectable drive modes let the driver tailor the response as conditions change, and the included 18-inch spare wheel and jack kit adds practical backup for longer trips. A 110V/150W AC outlet gives passengers another useful source of power for laptops, devices or other gear. Every new vehicle from Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel also includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, adding long-term ownership value to a vehicle designed to accumulate real miles.

The best feature may not be a single option at all. It is being able to leave Wesley Chapel with a quiet, comfortable Platinum cabin, use BlueCruise where compatible, bring a trailer when needed and still have the stronger 3.0L EcoBoost ready when the road opens up.
