This isn't just a vehicle; it is a mobile sanctuary designed for those who demand uncompromising space without sacrificing an ounce of sophistication. Whether you are preparing for a weekend retreat or navigating a busy afternoon of social engagements, this extended-wheelbase SUV provides the presence and prestige required for a life well-lived in the Wabash Valley.

The Platinum MAX trim represents the absolute ceiling of the Ford SUV lineup, offering a level of execution that rivals the finest European estates. As you pull out of your driveway in Paris, IL, the sheer scale of the vehicle commands respect, yet its refined silhouette ensures it remains perfectly at home at the local country club or a premier downtown event. It is the definitive choice for the discerning driver who requires the utility of a full-sized SUV but refuses to compromise on the luxury and technological prowess typically reserved for high-end executive sedans.

Unrivaled Performance and Precision Engineering

Under the hood of this Stone Blue Metallic masterpiece lies a powerhouse engineered for effortless progress. The EcoBoost 3.5L V-6 engine utilizes port and direct injection along with twin turbochargers to deliver a commanding 440HP.

Whether you are cruising the open stretches of the Indiana plains or navigating the rolling terrain near the river, the Four Wheel Drive system provides unwavering confidence.

The mechanical sophistication extends to the chassis, which features a Double Wishbone Front Suspension and a Multi-Link Rear Suspension, both utilizing coil springs to isolate the cabin from road imperfections. For those who venture across varying landscapes, the Selectable Terrain Modes and Two-Speed Transfer Case allow you to tailor the vehicles dynamics to the environment. Despite its impressive scale, the Electric Power-Assist Speed-Sensing Steering ensures that low-speed maneuvers remain light and precise, while the Auto stop-start engine technology assists in optimizing efficiency during your daily travels through the region.

The 360 Degree Camera aerial view system provides a bird's-eye perspective of the vehicle, making parking in tight spaces effortless. Driving on the highway is more relaxed with Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, which maintains a set distance from the traffic ahead. The BLIS with Trailer Tow Coverage acts as an extra set of eyes, monitoring your blind spots even when a trailer is attached.

Protection is built into the very frame of the vehicle, featuring the Safety Canopy System with curtain airbags for all three rows. Advanced intervention systems like Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection and Reverse Brake Assist work proactively to mitigate potential collisions. Furthermore, the Lane-Keeping System and Driver Alert monitor provide gentle corrections and warnings to ensure you stay on your intended path.

The front fascia is defined by a Body-Colored Grille with Chrome Accents and advanced LED low and high beam headlights that provide exceptional clarity after dark. The vehicle sits proudly on 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents, filling the wheel wells with a muscular yet refined stance.

Functional elegance is found in every detail, from the Power Liftgate that provides easy access to the cavernous cargo area to the Running boards that facilitate easy entry and exit for all passengers. The Deep Tinted Glass offers privacy for those inside while protecting the premium Salt Crystal Gray interior from the sun.
