The Ford Explorer is back and better than ever. You’ll find comfort, style, and intelligent performance packed into one impressive SUV. The XLT is only one of the many trim levels, and brings with it upgrades both inside and out. If you’re looking for the perfect vehicle that the whole family will enjoy, look no more. Here are four features that make the 2020 Ford Explorer XLT the perfect family SUV.
Power and Capability
The 2020 Ford Explorer XLT is ready for almost any family adventure you can imagine. You get a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission with SelectShift technology. This combination delivers up to 300 horsepower and the ability to haul up to 5,300 pounds so you can haul a trailer, small RV, or boat with ease.
Available four-wheel drive will deliver enhanced traction for a variety of weather conditions so you can go wherever the road takes you. You also get the option to add a Terrain Management System with normal, snow/sand, sport, slippery, and tow/haul mode for perfect handling under an array of driving conditions.
Comfort
To keep everyone content until you arrive at your destination, the Explorer XLT is packed with advanced comfort features. Enjoy the standard tri-zone electronic temperature control, unique cloth seating surfaces, and second-row power-assist folding captain seats. Available features for even more premium comfort include a heated steering wheel and twin-panel moonroof so you can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air on those nice days.
Technology and Entertainment
To help keep you focused and your entire family entertained and connected while on the road, there are several top-of-the-line technology features. The FordPass Connect system comes with the ability to connect your phone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto so you can stay focused on the road, not your phone. You get SiriusXM satellite radio, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, and even second-row USB charging ports so nobody has to worry about a low battery. A voice-activated navigation system can be added so you can focus on driving while it tells you where to turn.
Safety and Driver Assistance Features
There’s a wide range of safety and driver assistance features to help keep your family protected while on the road. Standard features include a lane-keeping system with lane-keeping assist, lane-keeping alert, and driver alert as well as an advanced reverse sensing system. In case of a collision, there’s a Safety Canopy air bag system, front driver and passenger knee air bags, and the SOS Post-Crash Alert System. This will activate your horn and flashers if it senses air bags have been deployed. Drive confidently knowing that your family’s safety is always being looked after.
