Yes, I did some checking and your 2013 Ford Explorer with 20 inch wheels can be towed with a Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045 that you referenced. All versions of your vehicle including 4WD and FWD can be towed with a dolly. You'll want to consult with your owners manual for the recommended procedure for this.
