2020 Ford Explorer Performance and Engine

EcoBoost Power With Real-World Capability

Under the hood, this 2020 Explorer XLT is powered by Ford's 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine paired with a smooth automatic transmission. Don't let the four-cylinder label fool you — this turbocharged engine produces 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, giving it more punch than many V6 competitors. It delivers confident acceleration whether you're merging onto I-94, cruising down Woodward Avenue, or loading up for a weekend trip.

The 2020 Explorer's rear-wheel-drive-based architecture — a significant departure from its predecessor — means sharper handling and a more composed ride. The transmission shifts smoothly under normal driving conditions, and the powertrain as a whole is well-matched to both city commuting and highway stretches across Wayne County and beyond.

Ford Explorer XLT Features and Interior

Three Rows, Smart Technology, Everyday Comfort

The XLT trim brings a strong feature set that covers the bases most families care about. Inside, you'll find seating for up to seven passengers across three rows — a major selling point for larger households or active families. The second-row captain's chairs (on properly equipped trims) provide easy third-row access without a wrestling match.

Technology highlights on the 2020 Explorer XLT include Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a Wi-Fi hotspot capability, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a rearview camera. Driver-assistance features like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking make this a genuinely safe choice for family hauling duties.

Ford Explorer Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say About the 2020 Explorer

The 2020 Ford Explorer represented a ground-up redesign, and while any redesign has growing pains, this generation has proven itself to be a durable and dependable daily driver. Owners consistently praise the roomy interior, strong engine output, and driving dynamics that feel more car-like than truck-like. The EcoBoost 2.3L engine has an established track record across the Ford lineup — it's also used in the Mustang and Bronco — so finding knowledgeable service technicians in the Detroit area is never a challenge.

Routine maintenance items like oil changes, brake service, and tire rotations are straightforward and affordable. As with any used vehicle approaching six figures on the odometer, a pre-purchase inspection is always a wise step, and F & M Auto Sales encourages buyers to feel confident in their decision.
