The ST and Platinum trims have standard intelligent four-wheel drive with front-axle disconnect, which means that the drivetrain can switch to rear-wheel drive when conditions call for it. A couple of perks of rear-wheel drive is the increase in towing abilities, sportiness and passenger space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Test Drive the 2020 Ford Explorer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimbercreekford.com\/new-ford-explorer-pine-river-mn\">2020\nFord Explorer is in stock at Kimber Creek Ford<\/a> in Pine River, MN!
