There’s more to a luxurious-feeling SUV than leather, to be sure, but the 2017 Ford Explorer Platinum has it in spades (Nirvana leather, to be precise). But as the top-tier model in the range, it also comes with all manner of other goodies that keep this popular SUV capable in ways that set it a bit apart from the rest of the Explorer’s trims.

Well, its shares its twin-turbo V6 and its 365 hp with the Sport trim, but that’s about all. The Explorer Platinum comes with different grille meshing, chrome exhaust tips, a heated steering wheel, and SYNC 3 as standard fair. But if you want more from the capable/versatile end of the spectrum, you’re in luck. The Explorer Platinum doesn’t just tow 5,000 lbs., it has a Terrain Management System that lets you tune your car based on road (or not-road) surface, intelligent all-wheel drive, and a spacious cabin for all your gear.
