Built for Life’s Adventures
The all-new 2020 Explorer has been completely redesigned — inside, outside and under the hood. In addition to new capability enhancing features, 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. With 400 horsepower, 415 lb.-ft. of torque an ST brings the adventure to you.**
*Available hybrid option on Explorer Limited
**Horsepower and torque ratings based on premium fuel per SAEJ1349 standard. Your results may vary.
Loaded with confidence
Once you’re inside the completely redesigned Explorer, you’ll notice an array of available amenities. Interior attributes like tri-diamond perforated leather seating surfaces, a hexagon carbon-fibre-lined dash and a precision-engineered centre console with a rotary gear shift dial fill the cabin with a refined and dignified look.
Available 12.3” Digital Instrumental Panel Cluster with Productivity Screen
Tailor your instrument panel to your drive. With an available 12.3” customizable cluster, standard on the ST and Platinum, Explorer lets you configure the look and function of your driving information.
An Available 10.1” LCD Portrait Touchscreen
An available 10.1” LCD capacitive portrait touchscreen means connectivity at your fingertips. Use it just like your smartphone to get directions, play music or call your friends, plus much more.
Seating when you need it.
Available third-row PowerFold seats make it easy to accommodate both passengers and cargo. With the seats up, the Explorer can carry up to seven passengers. When you don’t need seating for seven, fold them down and make room for cargo.
Available Twin-Panel Moonroof
The largest ever twin-panel moonroof offers great views for the first-and second-row.
All-New Hybrid and All-New ST
As part of the redesign, Explorer now offers an all-new hybrid and all-new ST. The athletic look of Explorer ST is more than sheet metal-deep. It’s matched by a powerful 400-hp11 engine, a sport-tuned suspension and driving dynamics engineered by the Ford Performance team. The Explorer Limited packs a similar punch; it has a no-compromise available hybrid option that’s engineered for big adventures. Not only can it tow 5,000 pounds but it’s also fully off-road capable.
A Trip in the Making
Load your gear into the 2020 Explorer and get away for a while. There’s plenty of room for it all. With the PowerFold® third-row seats, you can take advantage of the extra cargo space before heading out on your next big adventure. With the ability to tow up to 5,600 lbs. (2,540 kg), when properly equipped, the Explorer won’t be slowed down, not even if you have a hefty camper in tow. With your choice of three powerful engines, you can trust that your Explorer will get you where you need to go.
Towing and Trailer Sway Control
Building on AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, standard trailer sway control selectively brakes and adjusts engine power to maintain trailer control. The result is stability and control, even when towing large loads. When properly equipped, the Explorer can tow up to 5,600 lbs. The Class III Trailer Tow Package is available with the 2.3L EcoBoost and 3.3L hybrid engines, and comes standard with the 3.0L EcoBoost engine.
Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System
The Standard Terrain Management System can help you tackle any adventure through a single easy-to-use dial in the centre console. It’s seven selectable drive modes include Normal, Trail, Deep Snow/Sand, Slippery, Sport, Tow/Haul and new Eco mode. Each drive mode comes with special 3D animated graphics in the new available 12.3” digital cluster.
Master of the Day-to-Day
When you have to get things done, Explorer has your back. Available seating for up to seven means you can get your star player and friends to practice and make great time too. The E-Z Entry second-row seats and available Cargo Management System make it easy to get passengers and their equipment in as quickly as possible.
50/50 Fold-Flat Rear Seat Backs
Perfect for those weekend getaways, the second- and third-row seats fold flat either manually or automatically with the available PowerFold feature.
E-Z Entry Second-Row
Even with a child-safety seat in place, the adaptable E-Z Entry second-row seating makes it easy for people to get in and out with just the push of a button.
Cargo Management System
Extra pockets on the side and a storage area underneath the floor provide you with a place to store those smaller items that you thought you were going to have to leave behind. And when necessary, you can flip over the reversible load floor for a plastic bedding. Standard with the Class lll Trailer Tow Package.
Confidence-Driving Technology
In an increasingly crowded and stressful world, we can all use more confidence on the road. With Standard Ford Co-Pilot360 on board, it’s easy to enjoy getting there.

BLIS 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.
Auto High-Beam Headlamps
Standard 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 blinding other drivers. So you can keep your focus – and both hands on the wheel.
Rear View Camera
The Rear View Camera 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 you can 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.
Pre-Collision Assist With Automatic Emergency Braking
This feature scans the road ahead and can help alert you to potential collisions with vehicles or pedestrians detected in your path. If an impact is 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.
