    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 Platinum Explorer pairs robust turbocharged V6 power with a polished three-row cabin and capable four-wheel-drive traction, delivering a comfortable, confident SUV thats equally at home on family errands, highways, or weekend getaways.

    Equipment Group 601A enhances the Explorer’s everyday livability with a suite of thoughtful upgrades that make daily driving and longer journeys feel more refined and convenient.

    Premium Technology Package brings a more engaging and modern in-cabin experience, sharpening the vehicle’s infotainment and audio presence so every drive feels a touch more upscale.

    Smart device mirroring lets you operate your phone’s apps through the vehicle’s display, keeping navigation, music, and messages accessible while helping you keep your attention on the road.

    Hands-on steering assist with lane centering reduces highway fatigue by helping hold lane position and manage steering inputs, so long stretches behind the wheel are less demanding and more relaxing.

    Forward collision mitigation is constantly watching the road ahead and can intervene to help avoid or lessen the severity of front-end impacts, adding an important layer of crash-avoidance support.

    Front pedestrian impact prevention helps the vehicle detect and respond to pedestrians in the vehicle’s path, giving drivers added reassurance in busy urban or residential settings.

    Mobile hotspot capability provides on-the-go internet access for passengers, enabling streaming, navigation updates, and connectivity for work or entertainment without relying solely on phone data.

    The rear camera with washer keeps your backup view clear in messy conditions, improving visibility when reversing and making parking and hitching maneuvers safer and simpler.

    Lane departure prevention offers an extra safety net by nudging the vehicle back into its lane if it begins to drift, helping protect against unintentional lane excursions.

    Rear collision mitigation uses sensors to monitor the area behind you and can take action to reduce the chance or severity of a rear impact, increasing peace of mind in stop-and-go traffic.

    Adaptive cruise control with traffic stop-go eases heavy-traffic driving by maintaining a safe gap and automatically handling stop-and-go situations, making commutes and long drives less stressful.

    Brake assist provides supplemental braking force during sudden stops, helping the vehicle respond more decisively in emergency braking scenarios.

    This certified Explorer Platinum offers a compelling mix of performance, comfort, and modern safety and convenience technology. If you want a spacious three-row SUV that balances powerf

      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.
