The All-New 2020 Ford Explorer Review at Lawrenceville Ford

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 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. With 400 horsepower, 415 lb.-ft. of torque and top speed of 143 mph, an ST brings the adventure to you.*
*Horsepower and torque ratings based on premium fuel per SAEJ1349 standard. Your results may vary.

Available Reverse Brake Assist.

With increasing audio and visual warnings, reverse brake assist helps alert you to any objects you may be missing while slowly backing up. The system can detect both stationary and moving objects, including people and vehicles behind the SUV, and can even apply the brakes to help prevent collision.*

*Driver Assist features are supplemental and do not replace the drivers attention, judgment and need to control the vehicle.

Awe-Inspiring Power.

As the backbone of the ST and Platinum powertrains, the available 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 engine takes the athletic feel of Explorer a step further. With a 10-speed automatic transmission, twin turbos and direct injection, the Platinum powertrain generates 365 horsepower plus 380 lb.-ft of torque.* The ST takes this muscular engine with twin turbos and combines it with a 10-speed automatic transmission for a powertrain like nothing before it. With 400 horsepower plus 415 lb.-ft. of torque* and a top speed of 143 mph, the 2020 ST is the most powerful Explorer ever.

All-New Trims.

The rear-wheel-drive model also offers an EPA-estimated range of more than 500 miles between fill-ups.**
