2016 Ford Explorer Platinum - Interior and Exterior Review
Car Daily New - Taking the Platinum above and beyond Limited-grade involves quilted leather for the supportive if somewhat wide seats, wrapping the dashboard and chunky steering wheel with contrast-stitched leather accented with real wood and aluminum trim, and highlighting the exterior with satin-chrome accents and 20-inch aluminum wheels. It also includes as standard a dual-panel sunroof, lane-keeping assist, rain-sensing wipers, and adaptive cruise control with forward-collision warning and braking. While Ford makes much of the washers for the front and rear cameras, we wished more for headlight washers to clear a full day of dust and bug accumulation when darkness fell in the mountains south of Silverton. While harping on the lighting situation, we’ll say the Platinum should include a stronger set to match the offerings on luxury brands.
