We understand that sorting through the various options offered by a vehicle as capable as the Explorer can be challenging, so we’re here to break things down in this trim comparison.

XLT & Limited

First, let’s take a closer look at the first two trims of the 2020 Explorer—the XLT and Limited. With the former, you’ll have a variety of standard accommodations to enjoy, including a 4G LTE Wi-Fi® hotspot via FordPass™ Connect¹, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio², tri-zone climate control, and cloth-appointed seats. With the Explorer Limited, you’ll retain most of these amenities, with the exception of the now-standard leather upholstery. Plus, you’ll enjoy improved audio with the 12-speaker sound system and seamless navigation from standard voice-activated guidance. Finally, although both models come standard with a 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder engine that produces 300-hp and 310 lb.-ft. of torque, the Limited has the option to equip a hybrid powertrain for improved fuel economy.

Explorer ST

If heart-pounding power is calling your name, the ST trim of the 2020 Ford Explorer is prepared to answer. Right off the bat, you’ll notice a substantial difference when you hit the gas, as its amped-up 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 system cranks out a staggering 400-hp and 415 lb.-ft. of torque with utmost conviction. Meanwhile, within the cabin, you’ll gain exclusive amenities such as leather seats with micro perforations, City Silver accent stitching, and trim-exclusive logos. As far as tech goes, you’ll now have the Premium Technology Package as an upgrade, which includes a 14-speaker sound system among other features. Naturally, the exterior also exhibits several improvements. For instance, you’ll now have a sporty black mesh grille, quad chrome exhaust tips, and LED taillights with a stunning blackout treatment.

Platinum

Finally, we come to the pinnacle of the Ford Explorer trims—the Platinum edition. The exterior once again receives a few updates, including satin-aluminum accents to the lower bodyside cladding, liftgate applique, and front grille, lending this model a sleek, modern aesthetic. You’ll also gain some exclusive amenities within the interior, thanks to the addition of black carpeted floor mats with Brunello stitching and Tri-Diamond perforated leather upholstery. When it comes to performance, the Explorer Platinum has a 3.0L EcoBoost® system, just like the ST. However, when this powertrain is equipped on this trim level, you’ll wield 365-hp and 380 lb.-ft. of torque. That being said, both editions achieve a 5,600-lb. towing capacity³ to facilitate your trailering needs.
