Fully redesigned for the 2020 model year, there’s a lot to get excited about when it comes to the Ford Explorer. This SUV is ideal for families whether heading out for a weekend adventure, long vacation, or simply making trips to school, sports practice, and other activities. Here are four family-friendly features of the 2020 Ford Explorer.
Flexible Space
Inside the new Explorer, you’ll have room for up to seven people or 87 cubic-feet of cargo space. The second and third rows fold forward offering maximum cargo space, but even with all the seats up and full, you’ll have 18 cubic-feet of space still in the back. Power-folding seats are available to make it easy to change between various cargo and seating configurations. The E-Z Entry second row feature slides the second-row seats forward and down to provide easy access to the third row. Tri-zone automatic climate control makes sure that everyone is comfortable, even backseat passengers.
Connectivity for Everyone
Ford’s SYNC 3 infotainment system and FordPass Connect keep you connected with your Explorer and those in the Explorer connected with the outside world. Smartphone integration is easy with Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. FordPass Connect turns your smartphone into a sort of remote control for your vehicle with the ability to start the engine, lock the doors, and check fuel levels all from an app. An available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot provides connectivity for devices throughout the vehicle, so everyone can stay entertained during long trips.
Impressive Capability
You want to know that your car is going to get you where you need to go, especially in poor weather conditions with your family filling the seats. The 2020 Explorer is ready for anything with the available intelligent four-wheel-drive system. This drivetrain is paired with a terrain management system to let you choose a driving mode that best fits the road ahead. Options include trail mode, deep sand/snow, sport, tow/haul, eco, and slippery. Simply turn the dial to your choice and the Explorer handles the rest.
If you need to haul or tow extra cargo for a family vacation, the 2020 Explorer has you covered. Depending on the trim and engine you choose, you’ll be able to tow up to 5,600 pounds. The available trailer sway control system makes sure that whatever you’re towing stays in place on the road.
Advanced Safety
A safe car is a family-friendly car. Ford’s Co-Pilot360 suite of safety features work together to keep you and your precious cargo accident-free. This package comes standard with every trim level and includes blind-spot monitoring, a rearview camera, lane-keeping assistance with lane departure alerts, automatic high beams, and automatic emergency braking. Upper trims offer the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ package which adds intelligent adaptive cruise control.
