Meticulously Recrafted

More. To Explore.

Ford Explorer, the vehicle that opened new roads for family adventures nearly three decades ago, returns with an all-new road map – and an all-new level of comfort and capability to navigate it. America’s best-selling SUV returns to its roots with new rear-wheel-drive architecture, a new all-EcoBoost^® gas engine lineup, a new 10-speed automatic transmission, an available Terrain Management System^TM with seven drive modes, and a spacious and comfortable cabin.

 

Capable of handling any road – or lack of

With available Intelligent Four-Wheel Drive and seven selectable drive modes at the driver’s fingertips, the all-new Explorer is designed for whatever life throws your adventure’s way. The drive mode system, controlled by a rotary dial on the center console, lets drivers shift easily between Normal, Slippery, Trail, Deep Snow/Sand, Sport, Tow/Haul and Eco modes.

Comfort for the whole family. Space for so much more.

The all-new 2020 Explorer was designed with improved passenger comfort in mind. Sliding second-row seats make it easy to customize the cabin to your crew.

• Best-in-class first- and second-row hip room
• Best-in-class second-row headroom
• Unsurpassed third-row headroom

If cargo is what you’re hauling, the all-new Explorer answers the bell. PowerFold^® third-row seats make it easy to create a flat-floor cargo area larger than Jeep Grand Cherokee, GMC Acadia, Mazda CX-9, Dodge Durango, Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Highlander or Subaru Ascent.

 

More than two-and-a-half tons of pulling power.

Explorer’s all-new rear-wheel-drive architecture contributes to it being a more-than-capable towing machine, regardless of engine. Vehicles equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 EcoBoost and the towing package can haul up to 5,600 pounds, while those outfitted with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost and a towing package can tow up to 5,300 pounds. When properly equipped, Explorer hybrid is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds.

 

Adventure-Ready Technology

Turning navigation on its head

An available 10.1-inch touchscreen mounted on the center stack brings new clarity to map details. Drivers can also opt to parse the screen into separate sections, displaying music or incoming call information on one half and the navigation mapping on the other. It’s Ford’s largest-ever screen to complement SYNC^® 3 compatibility with popular services like Apple CarPlay^TM, Android Auto^TM and Waze navigation.

Parking just got easy. Introducing Active Park Assist 2.0.

Parking hassles become a thing of the past with Ford’s new Active Park Assist 2.0. While the driver needs only press and hold a button on the dashboard, Explorer takes control of the steering wheel, gas pedal, brake pedal and gear shifter to fit the vehicle neatly into a parallel or perpendicular parking space.

Always a Co-Pilot at your side

Standard across every Explorer model is Ford Co-Pilot360^TM, a suite of driver-assist technologies designed to make every trip a confident, stress-free adventure. Post-collision braking is also standard on all models, and advanced features such as Reverse Brake Assist and Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Speed Sign Recognition are available.

 

The vehicles that helped define SUV

Explorer first appeared on American roads in 1991, propelling the now-popular Sport Utility Vehicle segment. Since then, Explorer has taken on numerous iterations, all while becoming the best-selling SUV in the United States.

At Gilbert & Baugh Ford in Albertville, Alabama Fords REALLY do cost less. Come see the difference.

I would like to address the award that we, at Gilbert & Baugh Ford, were recently given from the Albertville Chamber of Commerce.

We are so thankful and grateful for receiving the “Small Business of the Year,” category 51-100 employees, award, but this award is about so much more than Gilbert & Baugh Ford.

As the banquet began, I looked around the room at what I would estimate to be about 250 guests, which included business owners, city and state leaders, etc.

Years ago, many of those business owners had a dream and, probably, little funding. However, they stepped out, took a chance and built their businesses on honesty, integrity and commitment. Some of these businesses were passed down generationally or sold to family members.

No doubt, the original owners laid the groundwork but the second, and even third, generation owners have carried those businesses to the next level of success.

Many of these industries, such as the automotive, poultry, food, trucking and construction, – to just name a few – have weathered the storms of economic downturns and, yet, have still come through and are stronger now more than ever.

And it was all achieved through dedication and believing in ourselves, and our community’s success.

Our city leaders have done a tremendous job at recruiting new businesses to our city and have done, in my opinion, a great job with our financial budgeting. We have seen new industries come to our city, and this has also strengthened our economy.

I say all of this to say that it takes all of our businesses, all of our industries and all of our city leaders in order for our dealership to be successful. We have grown, and will continue to grow, because of all of you.

We at Gilbert & Baugh Ford applaud all businesses in the City of Albertville, and we are very appreciative of this award.
