I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e29YR to carry 2 bikes on the 2020 Ford Explorer. The etrailer hitch is a Class III hitch will give you plenty of options for bike racks. The hitch is a bolt on hitch that doesn't require drilling but require a bit of fascia trimming. The best thing about this hitch is it's concealed cross tube design. The only portion of the hitch that will be visible after installation is the receiver portion so it has a nice sleek look on your brand new explorer.

For your Felt Ar3 Aero bike, I recommend a platform wheel mount rack because you have a delicate carbon fiber frame. The carbon fiber frames do not do as well with hanging racks because it's easier from them to get damaged or scratched with racks that hold the bikes by their frames. I recommend Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack part # NV22G because it holds the bikes by the wheels only. It also tilts-away for full rear cargo area access in the Explorer. I have attached a video for your reference. The rack also has integrated cable locks that allow you to lock the bikes to the rack and an anti-rattle lock to lock the rack into the hitch is included.
