The Ford Explorer Over the Years
The most notable change in the last few years for the Ford Explorer comes from its dramatic refresh back in 2016. The fifth generation Explorer introduced several modern elements to the lineup, such as its redesigned front facing hood and lower bumper, as well as newly-standard LED headlights inspired by the 2015 Ford F-150. The Platinum trim level was also introduced, which includes the 3.5L EcoBoost engine previously available only with the Sport trim level. More recently, the Explorer received additional design changes for the 2018 model with revised LED headlights, LED foglights, and new wheel designs.
