Few nameplates throughout the Ford lineup have as much history or heritage as the Explorer, the brand's SUV-segment staple. Originally introduced back in 1990, the Explorer ultimately has become a symbol of Americana, synonymous with the likes of apple pie and "The Star-Spangled Banner."
And now we've the 2017 iteration, arguably the very best Explorer yet. See it for yourself in the clip below, a video review from our pals over at Autotrader. Just don't be surprised when you can't stop staring:
If you'd like to enjoy the very best the Explorer has to offer, look no further than its range-topping model, the aptly named Platinum.
Standard equipment on this trim includes satin chrome exterior accents, a dual-panel sunroof, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning with brake support, active parking assistance, lane-keeping assist, rain-sensing wipers, upgraded leather upholstery, as well as aluminum and wood interior embellishments. It's staggeringly swanky.
Nevertheless, we still wonder: how might you mesh with this magnificent machine? To find out, be sure to pop on by our Rochester, NY facility. We'd be delighted to arrange a test drive in the Explorer, or any other Ford model that's aroused your interest.
