About 2020+ Ford Explorer (6th Gen)
The 2020-present Ford Explorer represents a significant redesign, moving to a rear-wheel-drive-based platform that opened up new possibilities for performance and capability upgrades. Whether you're running the base engine or the higher-output ST trim, there's real potential to build on what Ford already delivered.
What to Look for When Upgrading Your 6th Gen Explorer
Before adding parts to your build, it helps to know what you're working toward. Exterior accessories like roof racks, cargo carriers, and skid plates can expand utility and protection without major modifications. Interior upgrades focused on organization and durability make a difference for families and adventurers alike. Suspension and handling components are worth considering if you want improved ride quality or a modest lift for added ground clearance.
- Confirm fitment by trim level — ST, Platinum, and base models can differ
- Check whether your Explorer has the standard or tow package before adding hitch accessories
- Consider your primary use case: daily driver, road trips, or light off-road
- Verify compatibility with your specific model year within the 2020-present range
