 3.5 L V-6 twin-turbo is awesome!  The car hauls!  Interior is very nice and quite.  Smooth ride.  Great for a long road trip.  Lots of feature at a decent price.  I would put up it's features, performance, and price up against any foreign or domestic car/SUV.  If you have not owned a domestic car before, give this one a try.  You will love it...and have a lot of extra cash in your pocket  I was a BMW guy for 25+ yrs .  I owned a 328, M3, and X5.  This is a great SUV.  The Ford Explorer Platinum is really quick for a heavy SUV.  Take a test and and you can decide.
