2020 Ford Explorer

The 2020 Ford Explorer comes in five trim levels: the base-level Explorer, XLT, Limited, ST, and Platinum. Upgrade your Explorer's exterior with the hands-free, foot-activated liftgate to make loading your SUV easier. The Explorer can be outfitted with self-sealing tires that are able to seal up holes up to 6 millimeters in diameter. The available adaptive LED headlights turn to match the direction of your steering wheel. Regardless of which of the optional upgrades you choose, the 2020 Explorer's bold new front fascia and chiseled body look confident and capable.

The 2020 Ford Explorer's entry-level engine is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. For more power, opt for the ST trim's 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6, which delivers 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. Both of these engines are paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The Limited is also available as a hybrid model equipped with a 3.3-liter V-6 engine and electric motors that create a combined 318 horsepower.

The Terrain Management System gives you up to seven drive modes to choose from, including trail, sport, slippery, and deep snow modes. These are accessible through a dial on the center console. Add these to the available intelligent four-wheel-drive system for greater confidence on more slippery and tough roads. This intelligent drivetrain reads road conditions, changes in driver habits, and loss of traction to send power to the wheels that need it the most. If fuel economy is more your concern, consider the Limited Hybrid model. Properly equipped, the 2020 Explorer can tow up to 5,600 pounds.

This three-row SUV seats up to seven passengers and can fit up to 87.8 cubic feet of cargo with the seats folded down. This configurable space lets you build the perfect cabin for the day's trip. Opt for the available twin-panel moonroof to let fresh air into your cabin. The dual- or tri-zone climate control system lets the whole cabin find their perfect comfort level. Heated leather upholstery keeps you relaxed through the winter months. You can upgrade your 2020 Explorer's smart 8-inch touch screen to a 10.1-inch portrait screen that makes your SUV even more of a personal assistant. Both screens are compatible with the phone-friendly Android Auto and Apple CarPlay systems, which allow you to use many of your favorite apps and features completely hands-free. For a superior listening experience, choose an Explorer equipped with the 12-speaker B&O premium sound system.

The 2020 Ford Explorer keeps you and your passengers safe in modern ways through the Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technologies. This suite includes automatic high beams, a rearview camera, lane-keeping system, automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot information system with cross-traffic alerts, and more. These technologies use outboard sensors to detect potential dangers around your SUV, giving you more awareness and time to react to them.
