    Certified 2021 Ford Explorer Platinum 4WD Equipment Group 601A, Premium Technology Package â€" EcoBoost 3L V-6 gasoline direct injection, DOHC, Ti-VCT variable valve control, twin turbo, premium unleaded, 365HP, 10-speed automatic. This top-trim Explorer combines robust turbocharged V6 performance with polished three-row comfort and surefooted 4WD capability, delivering a refined family hauler that’s equally confident on daily commutes, highway journeys, and weekend escapes. The twin-turbo powerplant is tuned to balance strong acceleration with sensible on-road efficiency for its class.

    Equipment Group 601A brings a collection of practical upgrades designed to make everyday driving more comfortable and convenient, enhancing the cabin’s refinement and long-distance livability without complicating the driving experience.

    Premium Technology Package elevates the in-car experience with upgraded audio and display amenities, creating a richer entertainment and information environment so every trip feels more connected and upscale.

    Smart device mirroring lets you access navigation, music, and messaging through the Explorer’s display, keeping your phone’s functions within reach while helping you keep attention on the road for safer, easier use of apps.

    Hands-on steering assist with lane centering reduces highway strain by helping hold lane position and manage steering inputs, making long drives less tiring while keeping you confidently planted in your lane.

    Forward collision mitigation constantly monitors forward traffic and can step in to reduce the likelihood or severity of a front-end impact, adding an important layer of automated crash-avoidance support.

    Front pedestrian impact prevention improves awareness in busy urban and residential areas by helping detect people ahead and taking measures to avoid or lessen impacts when a potential collision is identified.

    Mobile hotspot capability gives passengers reliable internet access on the go, so streaming, navigation updates, and connected work can continue without relying solely on individual phone plans.

    The rear camera with washer keeps the backup view clear in messy conditions, improving visibility when reversing and simplifying parking, hitching, and tight maneuvers.

    Lane departure prevention offers an extra safety net by nudging the vehicle back into its lane if it begins to drift, helping guard against unintentional lane changes and increasing confidence on busy roads.

    Rear collision mitigation watches behind the vehicle and can activate protective measures if a rear impact appears likely, helping reduce risk and the severity of collisions in stop-and-go situations.

    This Certified 2021 Ford Explorer Platinum blends powerful performance, thoughtful comfort, and modern driver aids into a versatile three-row SUV. It’s a well-equipped choice for families who want strong on-road manners, advanced safety

      Explorer

      by Rudy on 5/28/2026 6:10:36 PM

      So far so good - smooth ride - plenty of power for a 2.3 liter 4 cyl which coming from someone who drove a 5.0 V8 for 20 yrs- much better on gas

      Served our family well!

      by Beth on 2/19/2026 11:46:55 PM

      Trading my car in next week, I am gonna miss my Explorer. It’s been a good family car. Draw backs: the screen is glitchy at times. Some electronics malfunctioned and I won’t lie, they can be costly to fix. Comfortable, spacious. I never had any mechanical problems with the car, but I did take very good care of it at well. I maintained all recommended services and any replacements were all genuine Ford parts. I hope whoever buys our car, loves it as much as we did.
