2020 Explorer: All-New Technology

The 2020 Explorer arrives on the scene with a fully revamped technology suite. You won’t even recognize what you see when you slide behind the wheel! The centerpiece is an available 10.1-inch touchscreen, which puts the controls right at your fingertips.

The screen’s portrait orientation is more modern and tablet-like than before. Via Apple CarPlay™, Android Auto™, and other features, it opens new worlds to you and your family. Connect your smartphone and manage your entire music library from the screen in front of you!

The dashboard gets a new look, too. A 12.3-inch digital instrument panel is newly available. Customize it to show the information you need most on your drive.

A Versatile SUV: Interior Features

The Ford Explorer seats six people across three rows in its base configuration. If you need more space, a second-row bench seat is available in place of the captain’s chairs. It expands seating capacity to seven.

You’ve never seen seats as comfortable and versatile as these. Active Motion® allows you to easily configure the front seats however you like. With five massage programs, you won’t want to leave your seat when you arrive at your destination!

Furthermore, adaptable E-Z Entry second-row seats make for easy entrances and exits. Rear passengers can navigate their seating arrangements at the touch of a button. Fold those third-row seats down, and you’ll have a roomy 47.9-cubic-foot cargo area for luggage, camping supplies, or any other gear you need. 

The Performance You’ve Been Waiting For

It’s not just the cabin features that look fresh—the 2020 Explorer sees all-new powertrains, too. Enjoy a more thrilling performance in the Explorer ST, which pairs a 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It’s the most powerful Ford Explorer ever, with all of 400 horsepower on tap. 

Of course, power isn’t everything—it’s what you can do with it that counts. This Ford SUV can put all that energy to use for towing. With a max towing capacity of 5,600 pounds, you can trailer a small boat in your wake and make the most of your adventures.

When the roads turn to dirt and the ground gets rockier, the Ford Explorer takes it in stride. The Terrain Management System™ offers up to seven selectable drive modes to help you conquer any conditions.
