The most powerful street-legal Ford in history is here and our team at Randall Reed’s Planet Ford in Humble, Texas could not be more exciting. Arriving this fall in dealership, the all-new 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 is a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 producing more than 700 horsepower.
The Power Of GT500
Ford’s Shelby GT500 starts with a supercharged 5.2-liter aluminum alloy engine built by hand. To keep the intake air cooler and deliver a lower center of gravity, the team inverted a 2.65-liter rootstype supercharger with air-to-liquid intercooler tucked neatly in the V8 engine valley.
Like Shelby GT350, the aluminum alloy block features weight-saving wire-arc cylinder liners and high-flow aluminum cylinder heads, plus larger forged connecting rods, improved lubrication and cooling passages. Beneath that, a structural oil pan adds strength, reduces vibration, and features a patented active baffle system to keep oil where it’s needed.
To harness its power and torque to the unique carbon fiber driveshaft, Ford Performance leveraged learnings from the tuning of its Ford GT supercar’s dual-clutch transmission. The team selected a TREMEC® 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, which is capable of shifts in under 100 milliseconds. This dual-clutch transmission is designed for a number of drive modes, including normal, weather, sport, drag and track, and activates features like line-lock and launch control through selectable Track Apps.
All of this in sweet, synergistic harmony with one another gives the GT500 a projected 700-plus horsepower and blistering straightline speeds.
The Evolution of Mustang
Power and torque are just one element of many to the all-new GT500. To take advantage of these accomplishments, Ford gave the most powerful Mustang ever produced cutting-edge active chassis technology, track-bred Michelin tires and Brembo® brakes – all dialed in by Ford Performance.
Shelby GT500 takes advantage of revised suspension geometry, a new electronic power steering unit and lighter-weight coil springs front and rear. Next-generation active MagneRide™ suspension is one of many baked-in goodies, along with the latest in advanced drive mode technologies from Ford Performance. The payoff is the highest-ever lateral acceleration from a Mustang for greater track performance and driver control.
A performance vehicle like this calls for a performance sized tire and braking system. Putting all this chassis hardware to the pavement is:
Custom Ford Performance-spec Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires
16-5-inch (420-millimeter) two-piece rotors
Larger, stiffer Brembo sixpiston calipers.
The GT500’s new braking system has 20 percent more swept area than the Shelby GT350’s, giving these brakes more than 30 percent additional thermal mass in the front corners.
In addition to the new performance braking systems and tires, are two handling packages with increasing level capability. An available Handling Package includes adjustable strut top mounts and spoiler with Gurney flap.
For the true hardcore performance vehicle enthusiast, Ford offers an available Carbon Fiber Track Package which features:
Exposed 20-inch carbon fiber wheels with 0.5-inch-wider rear wheels (11.5-inch)
Custom Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires
Adjustable exposed carbon fiber GT4 track wing and splitter wickers with integrated dive plane
Rear seat delete to reduce weight
Design, Comfort & Technology
The purpose-built cockpit of the GT500 boasts race-inspired premium materials and unique finishes worthy of its world-class power. Premium touchpoints include an available exposed carbon fiber instrument panel appliqué and new door panel inserts in Dark Slate Miko® suede with accent stitching.
Performance shouldn’t mean sacrificing comfort. Ford offers two available seating flavors. Recaro racing seats with firm side bolstering and pass-throughs for safety harnesses offer the highest level of performance, while those looking for even greater comfort, power-adjustable seating with Miko suede inserts is offered.
Ford puts a lot of emphasis on technology, which is why the all-new Shelby GT500 picks up a 12-inch full-color LCD instrument cluster, first introduced on the Mustang GT and Ecoboost packages. The GT500 also gets an available high performance custom-tuned 12-speaker B&O® Play premium audio system. All of this is controlled via an 8-inch SYNC® 3 touch screen featuring SiriusXM and FordPass Connect™. And if you haven’t heard of what all FordPass Connect™ can do, you can learn about it here.
New Shelby, new colors. For 2020, the GT500 introduces Red Hot, Twister Orange and Iconic Silver. Painted stripes are available too.
Excitement, joy, elation. Words can’t really do how we feel, as well as how we know you’re feeling too. The 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 is as iconic as it is beautiful. And wow is it beautiful.

The Ford Explorer, America’s all-time best-selling SUV just revealed the 2020 model that is redesigned from the ground up! Arriving this summer, the Explorer now features the broadest model lineup ever, more power and space, and smart new technologies to help tackle life’s adventures.
The Explorer comes with Ford’s flexible new rear-wheel-drive architecture that contributes to the Ford being more capable, comfortable, sportier and roomier in all three rows.
Going off-road is no problem thanks to the improved off-road capability comes courtesy of intelligent four-wheel drive and an available new Terrain Management System™ that features seven easy-to-engage drive modes. Powertrain offerings include a 3.0-liter turbocharged EcoBoost® V6 projected to produce 365 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque using 93-octane gas, making this the most powerful Explorer ever. The Explorer lineup now features standard, XLT, Limited, Limited Hybrid, ST and Platinum models.

The design and engineering updates deliver comfort and SUV functionality. Explorer’s stylish, sloped-roof silhouette protects rear-seat headroom, while its comfort-enhanced second-row seats slide to improve access to the third row.
“Explorer drivers told us what they want – more capability, more power, more space,” said Hau Thai-Tang, Ford’s head of product development and purchasing. “They want more technology, not just for the driver, but for the whole family. And they want all of it with a beautifully sporty exterior. This new Explorer gives them all of that, and more, helping make every journey more enjoyable.”
Technology that Heighten your Traveling Experience
The Ford Explorer will feature Ford’s new Active Park Assist 2.0. he class-exclusive feature – standard on Explorer Platinum – allows the driver to park in a parallel or perpendicular spot with a touch of a button without having to work the steering wheel, gear shifter, gas pedal or brake pedal. Available reverse brake assist, also standard on Platinum, uses radar and ultrasonic sensors to detect an object in Explorer’s path, and can apply the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision when the vehicle is backing up at a low speed – such as when exiting a driveway.
Adaptive Cruise Control with Speed Sign Recognition is another part of Ford all-new intelligent features. In addition to automatically slowing when traffic ahead slows and helping keep the vehicle centered in its lane, the system uses cameras to read speed signs and, combined with the available navigation system, adjusts cruise control settings accordingly.
Cruise with Confidence
Explorer comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360™, a suite of driver-assist technologies including:
Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, which includes Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning and Dynamic Brake Support
Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert
Lane-Keeping System
Rearview camera with built-in lens cleaner
Auto headlamps with auto high-beams
Available Evasive Steering Assist
Available Post-Impact Braking
“It’s not about filling the vehicle with technology for technology’s sake,” said Chris Billman, Ford Co-Pilot360 engineering manager. “It’s about improving the experience, making driving less stressful, and helping the driver to feel more confident behind the wheel.”
FordPass Connect upgraded standard features are 4G LTE Wi-Fi for up to 10 mobile devices. Drivers remote access to their Explorer, allowing them to use their smartphone to lock, unlock, locate and start the vehicle, as well as monitor key vehicle diagnostics.
The Smart Screen

Explorer features an available 10.1-inch touch screen mounted in portrait configuration on the center stack. Navigation maps can fill the entire screen for easy viewing, or split the space with audio information. The screen uses capacitive glass comparable to what consumers are accustomed to on smartphones and tablets, providing a quicker, more responsive interaction with the updated SYNC 3 system. Standard SYNC 3’s more intuitive layout gives drivers compatibility with available features such as Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto® and Waze navigation.
A wireless charging pad is available that allows customers to recharge compatible mobile devices, and up to four USB ports, including new type-C outlets, charge next-generation mobile devices. Up to three 12-volt outlets and a 110-volt outlet are also available.
For music lovers, Explorer offers an available 980-watt, 14-speaker B&O premium audio system. Access to SiriusXM™ satellite radio is standard and comes with new touch screen graphics and functionality – including a display of the day’s sports scores. HD Radio™ is standard on Limited and Platinum models.
The touch screen shares information with the available 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster, which displays important vehicle information such as speedometer and gas gauge. It uses 3D animated graphics to change information depending on which of the seven drive modes are selected using the available Terrain Management System.
Capability, Comfort and Design
There are seven selectable drive modes are available for customers to tailor their drive experience to road, weather and terrain conditions on demand. Rear-wheel-only Explorer drive modes include normal, sport, trail, slippery, tow/haul and eco. Vehicles equipped with intelligent four-wheel drive add a deep snow and sand mode for improved performance off-road.

The new rear-wheel-drive architecture contributes to it being a reliable 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.
Explorer comes standard with 18-inch painted aluminum wheels, but across the lineup drivers can opt for one of seven wheel designs, including 21-inch premium aluminum wheels available on Platinum models. Other Platinum differentiators include door handles with satin aluminum insert, liftgate appliqué, lower bodyside cladding insert, roof-rack side rails and a unique grille with satin aluminum finish.
Platinum models also feature a standard twin-panel moonroof, which allows light to flood the most comfortable Explorer cabin ever. Explorer Platinum includes special leather seats, plus leather-wrapped steering wheel, dashboard, door rollovers, and door and front console armrests.
