If you own a 2021 Ford Explorer Platinum, then you already know that it comes with full LED exterior lighting. Upgraded from conventional halogen bulbs, these are more energy-efficient. They also last longer and emit a bush-white beam for enhanced visibility at night and during inclement weather.
Since these are top-of-the-line illumination units, it does not get any better than that for primary lighting. However, you can add some extra pieces to help you see certain things more clearly.
The main component you will love is a set of cargo basket lights. This is perfect for people who travel frequently with luggage or oddly shaped items attached to the roof. If you have a cargo basket installed on top of the Explorer, that means that you want to see what you are transporting. When you make it to the campsite, the daylight may be gone. That doesn’t mean that you have to search for your gear in the dark or with an annoying torch. These lights make it easy to see what you’re grabbing. They also come with brackets for easy mounting.
From the inside out, the 2021 Ford Explorer is designed with families in mind. Perfect for getting the kids to school and heading off on weekend adventures, you can do just about anything in this versatile SUV. Plus, OEM parts are available to help keep the interior and exterior looking good for years to come.
First, front and back splash guards can be fitted to the wheelhouses to prevent moisture from getting up underneath the vehicle. Over time, water can cause rust - which will eventually lead to structural issues. You can avoid that altogether by installing these rubberized shields.
Inside, there are several things you can do to prevent damage from spills and accidents. You can get a set of all-weather mats to protect the carpet from dirt and stains. While the fabric can be cleaned, it’s easier to pull out these rubber mats and hose them off as needed. Another thing you can do is bring in a cargo area liner. This tray-style piece is moulded to perfectly fit the back section of the Explorer. It even has raised lips along the sides to contain any liquid.
If you own a 2021 Ford Explorer Platinum, then you probably already know how handy this model is for family adventures. However, it doesn’t end with the standard elements. You can add extra parts to make it even better for your next trip.
Powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine, it delivers 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. Mated with 4WD, it has a maximum towing capacity capped at 2,540 kg (5,600 lbs). While this is plenty for hauling various attachments, you can make the vehicle even more efficient by adding an enhanced hitch receiver.
There are multiple options for this trim level. First is the Trailer Hitch Ball. Measuring 2-inch in diameter, is it designed with a 1-inch shank to easy hookups. Next is the Trailer Hitch Drawbar. This one is a fan favourite, and it features a 2.5-inch rise to connect to heavier attachments like RVs and campers.
This SUV is also eligible for various roof rack mounts including the Kayak Carrier and Cargo Box. Both come with locks to secure them to the top of the vehicle.
