2020 Ford Explorer Release Date and Features

We're only a couple months into 2019, but the first great SUV of 2020 is on the way. The dealerships that are represented by Southern California Ford Dealers are totally pumped about the 2020 Ford Explorer. All new, inside and out, the three-row 2020 Ford Explorer SUV will be available in five trim levels, nine exterior colors, and RWD. Whether you decide on the gas-powered or hybrid Ford Explorer, drivers will be getting the gem of 2020 Ford SUVs. While we don't have access to all the specs at press time, here's what we do know.

As of now, three gas-powered and one hybrid engine will power the 2020 Ford Explorer. Most trims will come standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four that produces upwards of 300 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. Next up is a robust 3.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V6 that is rated at 365 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque. If you go with the 2020 Ford Explorer ST trim, where was developed with help from the Ford Performance Team, you'll get a mind-blowing 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that kicks out 400 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque and has a top speed of 143-mph. We're not 100% sure about the hybrid engine, but it should be a 3.3-liter V6 paired with the latest lithium-ion battery technology. Other performance benefits include 87 cubic feet of cargo room behind the first-row, 5,000 pounds* of towing power and the all-new available Terrain Management System with up to seven selectable drive modes.
