The 2020 Ford Explorer AWD ST brings genuine performance to the three-row SUV segment. It combines a powerful twin-turbocharged engine with a spacious interior, intelligent all-wheel drive and family-friendly versatility.
For drivers who need room for passengers and cargo but do not want an ordinary SUV, the Explorer ST offers an exciting alternative.
400-Horsepower EcoBoost Performance
The Explorer ST is powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 producing 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, giving the ST strong acceleration and smooth highway performance.
Standard intelligent all-wheel drive helps provide traction on wet, snowy or loose surfaces. The Explorer’s selectable drive modes allow the driver to tailor the powertrain and traction systems to different conditions.
The ST also receives performance-oriented suspension and steering tuning, giving it a more athletic feel than a traditional three-row SUV. Despite its size and passenger capacity, it feels composed and responsive from behind the wheel.
