Quality Auto Mall – 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum — Hands-Free Confidence for Families Around Bloomfield, NJ
If your schedule moves at highway speed, the 2026 Ford Explorer Platinum is the calm, confident SUV that keeps pace—and keeps everyone comfortable. It pairs upscale craftsmanship with technology that eases the mental load of long trips and hectic days. The headline is BlueCruise hands-free highway driving, equipped on Platinum and ready to reduce fatigue on the miles between work, practice, and weekend getaways. You stay attentive, but the vehicle helps with acceleration, braking, and steering on designated highways, turning the cabin into a place where conversations flow and music carries the mood. Up front, heated, ventilated, massaging front-row seats with leather inserts transform daily commuting into restorative time, while an available panoramic fixed glass roof with power sunshade opens the space to sky and sunlight. With seating for up to seven, 85.8 cu ft of max cargo space, and 5,000 lbs of towing capacity, Platinum is indulgent yet incredibly practical.
Under the hood, the standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine delivers smooth, confident power, whether you are merging into tight traffic or cruising in the left lane with BlueCruise engaged where available. Ford Co-Pilot360® technologies add helpful layers of awareness, and the Ford Digital Experience keeps your digital life within reach when you park—streaming, apps, and connectivity for family downtime or catch-up moments between commitments. For the driver who values both refinement and readiness, the Explorer Platinum proves you can enjoy premium surroundings without giving up what makes this nameplate so capable. The thoughtful blend of driver assistance, interior luxury, and everyday utility puts this trim at the top of many family shortlists.
