2016 Ford Explorer Platinum trim features and specs

The Ford Explorer is one of those vehicles you just can’t even get enough of. It is smart, speedy, strong and stylish, which are all incredibly important assets drivers look for when they begin to shop for a new SUV.

SUVs are a popular choice among drivers these days because they often provide handling somewhat similar to a car but also provide a cargo capacity similar to that of a truck or van. SUVs are also popular because they can be super luxurious and feature a ton of cool, innovative technology.

Of course, the 2016 Explorer is stylish and littered with class, but it also features a number of high-tech amenities that allow drivers to remain connected to the outside world at all times, no matter where you’re going.

For example, it will come with Ford SYNC3, which is Ford’s elite infotainment system that not only plays music, but also answers and places phone calls and texts, provides real-time traffic information, turn-by-turn navigation and more. Other technology features available with the 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum trim features and specs include smart charging USB ports, a hands-free liftgate, enhances park assist with perpendicular park assist and a 500-watt Sony Audio System.

Of course, what is under the hood of the 2016 Ford Explorer is sometimes considered even more valuable and exciting than the available high-tech features, and in this case, it is an available 2.3L EcoBoost engine that makes 280 horsepower with an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 28 MPG on the highway.

Drivers who want a little more control aren’t neglected, either, and can take refuge in the Terrain Management System, which reassesses travel and terrain conditions 20 times faster than the blink of an eye, which allows drivers to experience improved precision handling and traction.
