All used Ford Explorer models from the seventh generation share the same form factor: 198.3 inches in overall length, which is a bit more than 16.5 feet, and an 8.3-inch standard ground clearance. Most models have 18-inch aluminum wheels. The exception is the Sport model, which has 20-inch wheels. The Sport is perhaps the most visually distinct overall as it has sport-oriented appearance package. The Platinum also has some unique visual cues, but most models otherwise look the same.
Interior - Used Ford Explorer in Mount Dora FL

Ford Explorer Mechanical specs
The seventh-generation Explorer was available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and the vehicle has a six-speed automatic transmission regardless of the drive layout. The standard engine is a 3.5-liter V6: 290 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. A 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder was available as an option: 280 hp and 310 lb.-ft. The Sport and Platinum models have a 3.5-liter turbocharged V6: 365 hp and 350 lb.-ft. Note that the Sport has a firmer sport-oriented suspension. The Platinum has the softer suspension found on the other models, and if you’re not sure which you prefer and have the choice, we recommend the Platinum over the Sport.
