When you’re shopping for a family SUV that’s capable at every level, there’s no going wrong with the 2017 Ford Explorer. But if you’re looking for even more from the Blue Oval’s popular midsize offering, then we recommend climbing to the very top and opting for the Platinum trim. With chrome exhaust tips, a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel and panoramic moon roof, it’s got all the goods.

Where the Explorer Platinum really excels, however, is in the realm of capability. We’re not just talking about the ability to venture off-road—which it can, thanks to a Terrain Management System—but maneuver about parking lots and tight spaces with relative ease. Better yet, with intelligent all-wheel drive and 365 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of twist delivered to all four wheels, you can also get around in snow, grass, gravel, and mud easier than ever, too!

What’s your litmus test for capability? If you want to pit the Explorer Platinum against it, our Ford dealership in Lynchburg, PA would love to assist you in trying it out. Contact us at your convenience.
