The Tough and Versatile 2020 Ford Explorer

Beyond Four Wheel

Ford has taken the 2020 Explorer to a whole new level with its intelligent 4-wheel drive. This feature focuses on providing the driver with just the right amount of traction for icy road conditions.

When the 4-wheel drive is activated, the Explorer senses the conditions and responds by adjusting the braking system to match. Anti-lock braking will engage automatically. This optional feature is excellent for those that need a vehicle to travel in changing weather conditions.

Towing Capacity and Control

The Ford Explorer was designed with travelers and haulers in mind. Whether pulling a boat, trailer, or other large loads, Ford's sway control system helps to maintain safety on the road with its Towing and Trailer Sway Control system.

This system works to keep the haul steady. This automatic tow control will engage and adjust the power of the engine to keep the load straight and without a pull, an important feature on a vehicle that can pull up to 5,800 pounds.

Cruise With Confidence

Adaptive Cruise Control on the Explorer is extremely responsive. With an intelligent design, this cruise does more than just keep the speed on the road. It also senses traffic patterns and will stop or slow the vehicle as needed to avoid a crash.

Lane centering adds to this impressiveness by alerting drivers to lane variance and keeping the vehicle between the lines. Of course, these features are designed to assist drivers rather than to fully control the vehicle.

The Look

The external design of the Explorer is sleek and stylish with sporty elements woven throughout the body. There are over 5 colors to choose from and chrome accents that add a sophisticated feel.

Silver wheels and an optional moonroof take the aesthetics to a new level, combining modernity and functionality. The interior continues this theme. Leather seating adds a luxe feel and comes in three different color options. Padded seats bring comfort to drivers, too.

Technology

The Explorer has a tremendous amount of technology within its cabin. Compatible with Apple and Android products, it has a clear sound system that can be heard throughout the vehicle. The optional 10.1-inch LCD screen in the front is large enough to be clearly read but does not impede view or driving.

Responsive to the touch, this screen can help with navigation and information sharing without requiring attention that could harm driver safety. As always, technology should be used responsibly.

With so many features and a conscious-design, the 2020 Explorer is a must-view vehicle for anyone looking to make a purchase. If you are ready to test drive this Explorer today, come visit us at Palm Coast Ford now!
