Engine and Performance
No matter which model you choose, the 2020 Ford Explorer has the power to take your family everywhere and anywhere. The base, XLT, and Limited models are equipped with a 300-horsepower, turbocharged EcoBoost I-4 engine that produces 310 pound-feet of torque.

Both engines are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Ford’s intelligent four-wheel drive system monitors road conditions and your driving to send the power to the wheels that need it most. The ST and Platinum also include Ford’s Terrain Management System. The Terrain Management System will maximize your Explorer’s performance in even the most challenging road conditions, including sand, snow, gravel, mud, ruts, and steep inclines.
