The engine block heater ensures reliable cold-weather starts in demanding climates.
The Platinum interior combines leather heated and ventilated captain's chairs in the front with extensive comfort features designed around your daily needs. Memory seats and power adjustment mean you settle into your preferred position every time you drive. The heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic temperature control, and heated rear seats extend comfort throughout the cabin and all three rows.
Technology integrates seamlessly into your driving experience. The 10.1-inch touchscreen responds intuitively to swipes and pinch-to-zoom gestures, while SYNC 3 connects your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The voice-activated navigation system keeps your focus on the road, and the premium B&O sound system with 12 speakers transforms every journey into an audio experience. FordPass Connect enables convenient vehicle management from your phone.
Safety and visibility receive appropriate attention with dual front impact airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags throughout the cabin. Electronic stability control, traction control, and brake assist technologies work together to help maintain control in challenging conditions. An exterior parking camera provides clear visibility when backing up, while rain-sensing wipers and delay-off headlights enhance your awareness in various weather conditions.
This 2021 Explorer Platinum offers the three-row capability families need, the technology to stay connected, and the refinement that defines the Platinum trim level. We invite you to visit our showroom to experience how this vehicle meets your requirements and exceeds your expectations.

Love it.
by Alex on 8/9/2026 11:55:02 PM
Single guy looking for a vehicle that is fun to drive but can haul junk too, and this fits the bill. I came from a 2018 Lincoln MKZ 3.0t AWD, this has all the same features but this does it better. Mine had one minor panel issue the dealership is fixing, but otherwise everything is solid. Installed a BOV, I find it funny to blow past people with a quiet exhaust and a loud Spanish sound as they disappear into the distance. Fantastic nighttime viability over the lower trims. Actually just better over all than the lower trims. Bolt ons and a tune just puts this in its own league for the price you pay, the only thing that comes close is a 2026 dodge Durango RT 392. ST is not for everyone but it is for me. "Sporty" family hauler my butt. Wrong demographic. This is a genuine fast mid-sized SUZ that you'd have to go luxury to get close to the performance numbers otherwise. - 5.0

I love the suv its fantastic to drive only issue I have is the wind noise in the driver seat but I'd sleep in it every night the seats are comfortable.
