Exploring your city, town, state, or the nation is something that all American families should do at some point. So why not do so in an SUV that has an appropriate name such as the 2020 Ford Explorer. The Explorer is tested, tried, and proven to be one of the most dependable and capable SUVs on the market today. Let’s take a look at what possibly makes the Explorer right for you and your family.
Trim Levels
The 2020 Ford Explorer has four trims to choose from that include the XLT, Limited, ST, and Platinum. Each of these trims is loaded with features and has styling that is unique for each one. The new exterior design has a more sporty and athletic feel but is still recognizable as an Explorer. The interior design is modern yet chic and is highly functional, with plenty of room for people and cargo. There is something for everyone when considering the 2020 Explorer.
Drivability
Ford’s decision to incorporate a new rear-drive chassis into the 2020 Ford Explorer is a significant improvement over past year models. This new chassis has provided the Explorer with a new-found sense of composure. It remains collected as it traverses a variety of terrains, and its improved steering inspires confidence when navigating curvy roads. Ride dampening helps keep the Explorer stable and provides a fluid ride that is firm yet comfortable. These marked improvements make the 2020 Explorer one fo the best driving SUVs available to date and ensure that long family trips will be enjoyable.
The new rear-wheel-drive has also made way for a sportier design aspect, improved on-road and off-road performance, and, when properly equipped, has increased towing capacity by 600 pounds. Overall, the rear-wheel-drive has had a drastically positive impact on the 2020 Explorer. No matter where you decide to go, the Explorer can get you there in style.
Power
Most 2020 Explorers will come with a 2.3-liter turbo-4 with 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The Limited Hybrid has a naturally aspirated 3.3-liter V-6 combined with a modular-hybrid setup that creates 318 horsepower and 322 pound-feet of torque. The Platinum models will be equipped with a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 that generates 365 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque. Last but certainly not least, the ST models have a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V-6 with twin turbos creating a staggering 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque.
Safety and Security
The 2020 Explorer has standard safety features that include hill start assist, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and blind-spot monitors with cross-traffic alerts. Other available safety features include but are not limited to active lane control, expanded voice controls, speed-sign recognition, and adaptive cruise control with stop and go. This is the safest Explorer yet and is designed to protect you and your family, whether you are on or off-road.
