The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118599 is a fit for a 2020 Ford Explorer without the factory tow package. If you did have the factory tow package you would then use the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C55384. The T-One plugs in behind the tail lights so it bypasses the factory tow package wiring whereas the T-Connector plugs into the factory tow package port.

If you don't already have a trailer hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # CU78FR which offers bolt-on installation and has a hidden design so you get a very factory-like appearance.
