Formidable Towing Capacity
The 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 engine lets you tow up to 5,300 pounds with the appropriate accessories and equipment. That means you can load up your jet skis, snowmobiles, fishing boat, or utility trailer to take your trip to the next level.
With the Class III Trailer Tow Package, you have the power to tow up to 5,600 pounds. Standard with the 3.0L EcoBoost® engine and available as an addition to the 2.3L EcoBoost® and 3.3L hybrid engines, now nothing will be left behind. Bring the camper, small boat, or your favorite sporting equipment for one-of-a-kind vacations and unforgettable fun.
Towing Safety Features
In the 2020 Ford Explorer, you’ll enjoy standard AdvanceTrac® with Roll Stability Control™. Regardless of what you’re towing, this trailer sway control system lends a helping hand. By selectively activating each brake and adjusting the engine’s power, you’re in control from front to back.
When you’re towing a lot of weight, maintaining stability is the goal. With the help of Sidewind Stabilization, your Ford Explorer will help counteract heavy wind conditions to keep everything balanced.
Now, you’ll be able to move confidently while crossing bridges and passing other cars. Regardless of where you encounter challenging weather conditions, you can stay grounded, even when you feel like you’re flying.
Elevating Engine & Performance Specs
The available 4WD with Terrain Management System™ offers seven Selectable Drive Modes you can access by turning a dial located in the center console. Normal, Trail, Deep/Sand, Slippery, Sport, Tow/Haul, and Eco modes let you navigate confidently through unpredictable weather and terrain.
Offering up to an EPA-estimated 27 city /29 highway MPG, the Ford Explorer lets you cruise the open road without having to make frequent stops.
With the 2020 Ford Explorer Platinum trim, a 10-speed automatic transmission connects with 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine to generate an impressive 365 horsepower plus 380 lb-ft of torque.
Craving more? Under the hood of the 2020 Ford Explorer ST, the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine meets a 10-speed automatic transmission to provide you with 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Through town and out to the trail, this powertrain is sure to take you to your special place.
