Ford Explorer 2020-2025 Owners Manual
Owners Manual for sixth generation Ford Explorer, a SUV manufactured by Ford Motor Company since the 2020 model year. Ford has redesigned the Explorer three-row midsized SUV for 2020, and it keeps many of the attributes that have made it a popular choice. It has a robust and easy-to-use infotainment system, generous cargo capacity, responsive handling, and—despite its only mild styling updates—it’s a fundamentally different vehicle.
