2018 Ford Explorer Platinum is the One To Purchase

We love this vehicle. It has all the bells and whistles you can imagine. Took it Florida , and it was a dream ride with the very powerful 3.5L Twin Turbo Eco boost Engine. I highly recommend it.

Lots of Electronics

Plenty of leg room in front seats. Second row also good but anyone slightly tall it could be tight. Third row is difficult to get to and should be the smallest one in the car. I like all the electronics and easy of folding third row. Takes awhile to learn all the mechanics of its operation. I can only rate this as good because I have only owed it 2 weeks.

This car brings the whole package, comfort, style

It drives great, looks great and carries what I need without being bulky like the big suv?s, but safe. It?s also gets good gas mileage

Best Explorer design so far

Leg room, engine horse power overall style is amazing. This is my 3rd explorer but first sport edition. I would recommend this car for comfort and 3rd row seats. Defiantly beats most if not all 3rd row seats SUV in his class.
