When car enthusiasts hear the word SUV, one model that should automatically come to mind is the 2020 Ford Explorer. The Explorer line has made an impressive showing over the last few years, and 2020 is no exception.
Explorers have always been known for their rugged capabilities and spaciousness. A great family car, this model is packed with up and coming features that continue the excellence of the Ford fan favorite.
Built to Go
The Explorer is built to go where you want and tow what you want. The Terrain Management System allows drivers to select from normal, trail, deep sand/snow, slippery, sport, tow/haul, and eco modes to customize their drive experience for reliability and safety. Intelligent 4WD regulates the amount of traction in varying drive conditions.
The Rear-Wheel Drive architecture makes for a sportier drive and more towing capacity. Towing and Trailer Sway Control builds on the AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control system to regulate braking and engine power to make towing steady and easy. The 3.0L EcoBoost engine comes with a standard Class III Trailer Tow Package which is also available on other engine builds.
Road Safety Technology
The FordCo-Pilot360 suite of features is truly unmatched by other comparable SUVs. Auto High-Beam Headlamps switch on when low lighting is sensed and automatically dim with on-coming traffic.
The Rearview Camera keeps you confidently moving in reverse and includes a washer to keep your view clean and clear. Reverse Brake Assist can automatically sense stationary objects and other vehicles moving up to 37 MPH in the Explorer’s path and engages the brakes for safety to avoid an accident.
Automated Driving
The Lane-Keeping System helps drivers keep it between the lines when traveling. Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control can sense slowed or stopped traffic ahead and apply the brakes, and when traffic begins moving again will accelerate back up to the driver’s chosen cruise speed.
Automatic Emergency Braking scans the road ahead for potential collisions and applies the brakes if the driver does not take quick corrective action. BLIS (Blind-Spot Information System) makes changing lanes easier and safer by alerting drivers of nearby vehicles located in blind spots and assisting with lane changes.
Smart Technology
Sync3 utilizes responsive voice commands to initiate navigation, location searches, and media controls in various apps. Sync3 also incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to keep drivers connected on the road without handling their phones.
Ford Teams Up
Ford+Alexa brings the power of Amazon to your Ford through Sync3 apps. Â Drivers can utilize AmazonPrime and even connect to their Alexa home devices with this feature.
Ford and Waze is another popular feature that brings crowdsourced navigation right into the Explorer’s Sync3 system. This app provides up to the minute accident reports, road construction alerts, and even notifies drivers of law enforcement nearby.
With so many features available on the 2020 Ford Explorer, drivers can not deny the appeal. If you are looking for a new SUV, visit Chestatee Ford for information and to schedule a test drive today.
