According to Motor Trend, the return of "The X-Files" after 14 years was made even more exciting because the agents, Dana Scully and Fox Mulder, will be seen driving the new Ford Explorer Platinum as they chase after the truth. Actors Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny both reprised their roles as Scully and Mulder, respectively.

The Ford Explorer 2016 will be a mainstay in the six-part miniseries. Scully is the lucky one to drive it. Apart from the Explorer, other Ford cars will also be used - the Escape, Mustang, and the Taurus. This is not the first time that "X-Files" and Ford partnered up. The two's partnership went way back to the show's debut in 1993. Mulder drove a Ford Taurus at the time. Those excited to catch the Ford Explorer 2016 in action has to wait up until the second night of the two-part premiere, though, happening at 8 PM EST, on Feb 1.

Price and Features of Ford Explorer Platinum

Price-conscious individuals now certainly have an eye to own the 2016 Explorer Platinum, if they do not already own one. There is no other way around calling the new Ford Explorer as pricey because it is. Priced at $53,915 fully equipped, no one can call this model practical.

For some, however, the features of the Explorer Platinum more than compensate for its expensiveness. The car is a luxury seven-passenger crossover sports utility vehicle. Moreover, the company promised that it can deliver to owners the most premium, highest-quality interior they ever experienced. Ford Lincoln cannot even compete.

Ford claims that inside this luxury car, one will not find any counterfeits. The trim is not plastic. Instead, it comes in genuine satin-finished ash wood. The metal parts are also brushed aluminum and again, not plastic. The upholstery is not made from leatherette, which is quite common for other European crossover SUVs. Instead, it is made of soft, fine leather. It comes in "medium soft ceramic," proving how impractical the car is. Outside, the car is equipped with satin chrome accents, as well as custom 20-inch wheels crafted of aluminum. The grill is also made of aluminum. Ford Explorer 2016 has a dual-panel sunroof that allows the right amount of air and sunlight to come in. The Intell provided more of the prestigious details of the car.

The News Wheel recently revealed that those planning to get one can now opt out of the white ceramic upholstery. A new all-Ebony Black interior theme is set to arrive this month.
