Has your new car search led you to the full-size SUV segment? Well, if so, we here at Hassett Ford-Lincoln suggest you do yourself a favor and give ours, the 2017 Explorer, a go.

How come?

Then, please allow our pals at MotorWeek to elucidate; their assessment of the Explorer is available right here:

Drivers desiring a swanky, upmarket feel from the Explorer are bound to receive exactly that with the top-tier Platinum model.

Standard equipment on this trim includes a strapping, 365-horsepower turbo-V6 engine, leather upholstery, dual-zone auto climate control, an 8-inch touchscreen, the SYNC 3 infotainment platform, a panoramic sunroof, a parking-assistance system, ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel and a 12-speaker Sony sound system.

If you'd like to meet this capacious cruiser "in the metal," or wish to put one through its paces on the open road, we encourage you to pay us a visit at our Wantagh, NY location. Upon your stopover, we'll be sure to set you up with a test drive in the Explorer, or any other Ford model you may currently be considering.
