2020 Ford Explorer in Waterford, MI

Redesigned and re-invigorated, the all-new 2020 Ford Explorer is ready to continue leading the way for versatile three-row SUVs. Evolutions in performance, style, and technology have made this the best Explorer yet, and we're eager to share it with car shoppers near Auburn Hills and Pontiac, MI. If it's time to start shopping for your next SUV, then the 2020 Explorer is a great place to begin.

2020 Explorer Design

The new 2020 Explorer brings significant styling alterations to the table. Slimmer headlamps, smoother lines, and a redesigned grille are all telling of the new generation's focus on sporty appeal. The availability of both black and chrome exterior trim pieces means you can add visual details the best suit your personal taste.

Interior styling has been altered as well, with an all-new dashboard and steering wheel occupying the front space. New seat designs emphasize support and comfort throughout the cabin. Interior materials can vary from durable cloth to supple leather.

2020 Explorer Performance and Capability

The latest generation of Explorer SUVs gets some substantial performance overhauls.

The most substantial performance change arrives for the Explorer's drivetrain. While the previous generation Explore used a front-wheel drive setup, the new 2020 models will come with standard rear-wheel drive. This return to rear-wheel drive architecture offers a sportier driving experience and is better optimized for towing.

A new lineup of engine is offered as well. The base 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine makes a healthy 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. An optional 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 makes a hearty 365 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. The same powerplant moves output up to 400 horsepower in the Explorer ST model. The 2020 model year also brings out an available hybrid powertrain. Regardless of the engine you choose, your new Explorer will offer a standard ten-speed automatic transmission with available paddle shifters.

With the right equipment, the 2020 Explorer has quite impressive towing capability. The Class II Trailer Tow Package allows the Explorer to reach its maximum towing capacity of 5,600 pounds. You can also prepare the Explorer for all-terrain duty with its available Intelligent 4WD and Terrain Management System.

2020 Explorer Interior Features

The new Explorer is as practical as ever, with three rows of seats and impressive cargo capacity. With its standard setup, the Explorer has space for up to seven passengers. You can also opt for second-row captain's chairs, though this reduces seating capacity to six.

Cargo capacity behind the third row adds up to 18.2 cubic feet. This expands to 47.9 cubic feet with the third row folded down. Folding down all of the rear seats opens up 87.8 cubic feet of cargo space.

Technology contributes to the 2020 Explorer's convenience as well. New models come with features like Apple CarPlay, Ford SYNC, and a digital display cluster. Together, these features can connect you to all sorts of apps and functions.

2020 Explorer Safety and Driver Assistance

Driver assistance technologies are becoming standard expectations for new car buyers. Fortunately, Ford offers a wide range driver assist features in the new Explorer.

• Auto High-Beam Headlamps
• Rear View Camera
• Blind Spot Information System
• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pre-Collision Assist
