The all-new 2020 Explorer has been completely redesigned — inside, outside, and under the hood. In addition to new capability enhancing features like rear-wheel drive, there are also two new available trims. Explorer now offers a commanding, no-compromise hybrid as well as the most powerful Explorer to date, the all-new Explorer ST.

The Explorer's ride offers superior controlled handling with comfortable steering and a smooth drive. Like most three-row SUVs, you'll find somebody roll while cornering, but several reviewers still feel this Ford is more athletic than many of its rivals..
All-New Trim Levels
As part of the redesign, the 2020 Explorer model year now offers two all-new high-powered trims. The Explorer ST has an athletic look that’s matched by a powerful 400-hp engine* and driving dynamics engineered by the Ford Performance team.
The Explorer Hybrid packs a similar punch, it is a no-compromise hybrid SUV that’s engineered for big adventures. Not only is it the only hybrid in its class that can tow 5,000 pounds, but it’s also fully off-road capable. The rear-wheel-drive model also offers an EPA-estimated range of more than 500 miles between fill-ups.

CONFIDENCE-DRIVING TECHNOLOGY
With Ford Co-Pilot 360™ on board, it’s easy to enjoy getting there. Ford Co-Pilot360 is the most sophisticated package of regular driver-assist systems, including automated emergency braking with pedestrian identification, cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, lane-centering assist, blind-spot monitoring, backup camera, and high-beam auto lighting – a mix of other non-luxury rivals in North America is not mainstream.
Auto High-Beam Headlamps
Auto High-Beam Headlamps can sense poor lighting conditions and switch on to light your path ahead. They can even sense oncoming headlights and dim automatically so you don’t have to worry about distracting other drivers. So you can keep your focus – and both hands on the wheel!*
*Driver-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgement and need to control the vehicle.
Rear View Camera
Backing up made easy, the Rear View Camera safety feature provides a great view of what’s behind your vehicle. It also comes with a built-in washer so you can keep the camera lens free of debris (like snow or dust) and navigate in reverse with confidence.*

Lane-Keeping System
The Lane-Keeping System can help you stay in your lane, even during a moment of distraction. This smart feature scans your vehicle’s position between the lines in the road ahead and can alert you if you’re starting to edge out of your lane. Having trouble staying on track? After you’ve drifted a few times, you’ll see a coffee cup icon, letting you know it’s time to take a break.*
*Lane-Keeping System does not control steering. Drivers-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgement and need to control the vehicle.
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
This feature scans the road ahead and can alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians detected in your path. If an impact becomes imminent and you don’t take corrective action, the brakes can apply automatically. But don’t worry – they’ll only activate if they’re needed.*
*Drivers-assist features are supplemental and do not replace the driver’s attention, judgement and need to control the vehicle. Automatic Emergency Braking can detect pedestrians, but not in all conditions and does not replace safe driving. See owner’s manual for system limitations.

This feature can help detect and alert you to vehicles in your blind spot, while Cross-Traffic Alert can detect traffic behind you when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway.*
