2016 Ford Explorer Platinum Review
Ok, you've done your homework and the decision has been made. You're getting an Explorer. Solid choice. But which trim level is right for you? Base, XLT, Limited, Sport or how about this all-new Platinum series? An upscale SUV with sporting intentions.With the use of real aluminum and ash wood trim, the seats and various trim bits covered in something Ford calls Nirvana leather and the dynamic sound of the all-new 12 speaker, 500-watt Sony Audio System, Ford declares this the most upscale, high-quality interior they’ve ever offered. Because 90% of Explorer Sport buyers purchase the most expensive package, Ford took that as a strong signal that customers were ready for Platinum. Running with the Explorer Sport’s vigorous 365 horse 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6, standard 4-wheel drive and sport-tuned independent suspension, you can think of the Platinum series as a more introverted Sport model infused with next-level luxury conveniences.
From the outside, Platinum models are distinguished with an array of unique satin chrome finishes applied to the grille, side mirrors, door handles, roof rack and liftgate applique, and then there are these sweet 20” wheels with dark painted pockets. Though this Magnetic Paint is unexciting, the Platinum’s look as a whole emanates a premium, big boy SUV persona. Other Platinum perks include a bevy of standard equipment such as blind spot warning with cross traffic alert, the meander-preventing lane departure warning with lane keep assist, a dual-panel moonroof, the very impressive enhanced active park assist which will do the job for you in both parallel and perpendicular situations, deluxe floor mats, auto high beams, rain sensing wipers, and the bulky but peace of mind inducing inflatable rear seat belts. My favorite features are the magnificent massaging front seats – the best I’ve ever tested – super hot heated seats and steering wheel and the changeable ambient lighting which provides a wow factor at night. With no options on my tester, MSRP is $53,915. In case you were wondering, Ford also offers Platinum trims on their trucks and the Expedition SUV.
From a size and utility angle, the Explorer is big but not too big, so it’s still easy to maneuver while providing seating for up to 7. Now the 2nd row seats recline but only the split-fold passenger side also slides so that’s where you enter the 3rd row which as far as these things go, is relatively accommodating so it can be used if necessary for more than just kids. Heated outboard positons, twin USB ports and a power outlet keep things cozy in the back. When it’s time to convert to hauling mode, these seats tumble easily but not as easy as the 3rd row which is fully power operated and works at the touch of a button. And getting into this area is now assisted by a hands-free liftgate. So Explorer Platinum life is an uncomplicated affair.
Remote start is standard for the Ecoboost V6 and it’s a powerhouse motor, producing 350 pound-feet of torque and capable of 5,000 pounds towing. It works through a 6-speed automatic and packs a wallop but it’s also pretty thirsty. I averaged about 16mpg for the week on regular unleaded which is the EPA’s city estimate. The unibody, sport-tuned suspension and ultra high performance all-season tires transmit more rough-road communications than necessary, but on your average grade road the Explorer is typically buttery smooth to accompany the quietness. I would not qualify it as sporty drive however and the Sport model’s quicker steering gear gets left off here. The Explorer drives with power and an appreciable amount of poise for its size. And keep in mind, with the Terrain Management System getting you through snow, sand, mud or hills with a turn of a knob, the ability to Explore More is certainly here though the 7.8” of ground clearance will keep your ambitions in check.
From the excellent massaging seats to the dummy proof parking assistant the Platinum trim offers the smorgasbord of high end conveniences you'd expect in a $50,000 SUV. There's no Sync3 yet and the robust powertrain has moments of disharmony but overall this is a big 3 row that'll please all family members.
My Ford Touch lives on here and though it’s a pretty decent system it does look and feel a bit past its sell by date and dings the Platinum status just a bit. And occasionally, the transmission stuttered on my tester - something I did not experience in my last Explorer so hopefully it’s just an anomaly.
If you’re the kind who likes to purchase the highest trim level available, Ford now gives you the chance to go all the way. At nearly $54,000, the Platinum might just be as rare as the metal itself.
