New 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum 4x4 in St. Louis, MO

The 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum is built for families who need flexibility, safety, and comfort in a modern SUV. With three rows of seating and easy access to the rear, it accommodates car seats, strollers, and the daily gear of a growing household. Its Star White Metallic Tri-Coat exterior and Salt Crystal/Onyx leather interior create a refined yet practical space for drivers and passengers alike.

Parents seeking a versatile SUV for school runs, grocery trips, and weekend family adventures will appreciate the Explorer’s balance of spaciousness and technology. The third-row bench seat allows for multiple car seats or extra friends on board, while rear air conditioning and heated rear seats ensure comfort for all ages. In climates like St. Louis, MO, four-wheel drive delivers added confidence in changing weather conditions.

A 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission provides smooth, responsive power for merging onto highways, climbing hills, or carrying a full cabin. The Explorer’s 4WD system helps maintain traction on slippery roads, so families can travel safely regardless of the season. With an EPA-estimated 20 city and 27 highway MPG, daily errands and road trips can be managed efficiently without frequent fuel stops.

Family safety is at the core of this SUV’s design, featuring dual front, side, and overhead airbags, a knee airbag, and advanced active safety systems. Standard ABS brakes and electronic stability control help prevent loss of control, while blind spot monitoring and rear parking cameras improve driver awareness. Emergency communication through 911 Assist and rain-sensing wipers further add peace of mind when protecting what matters most.

Inside, the Lux Leather Package, panoramic fixed glass roof with power shade, and heated/ventilated front seats create a comfortable environment for long drives. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep everyone entertained and connected, while the navigation system ensures no one gets lost on family road trips. Power liftgate and split folding rear seats make loading and unloading strollers, sports gear, or groceries both simple and convenient.

Compared to other three-row SUVs like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, the Explorer Platinum stands out for its combination of luxury features and family-friendly flexibility. Its advanced safety tech and rear seat comfort set
