Product Description
Ford Explorer 2020-2025 Pillar Trim Without Keyless Entry, 4-Piece Stainless (PP60333)
Not every Ford Explorer has the exterior keyless entry keypad, and PP60333 is the four-piece pillar post kit QAA catalogs for those that do not. It covers the window pillars of the 4-door Explorer in polished stainless steel and is listed for model years 2020 through 2025.
Without keyless entry
QAA describes this kit, and the six-piece PP60334, as being for Explorers without keyless entry. If your Explorer has the exterior touch pad, QAA lists separate keypad kits for it, so check your vehicle before ordering. That one detail decides which kit fits your Explorer.
Four or six pieces
Within the non-keypad kits, you can choose four pieces (this kit) or six (PP60334). The catalog does not say which pillars each piece covers or what the two further pieces cover, so compare the listing photos. Four pieces is the subtle option and the quickest to install.
Note the years
This kit is listed for 2020 through 2025. Later model years are not listed. The Fitment tab shows the application exactly as QAA records it.
What it does
Pillars are the upright supports that frame the side windows. On the Explorer they are easy to see from the side. Polished covers make them stand out as bright accents and give the SUV a cleaner, more finished profile. The originals stay in place underneath.
Why the keypad distinction matters
A pillar cover sits right over the pillar surface. On an Explorer with a keypad, the trim has to account for it; on one without, it does not. QAA keeps the two families separate so each fits cleanly on its own vehicle. Ordering the right family is the most important step in getting a good result.
Material
QAA makes the four covers in the USA from 26-gauge 304 stainless steel and polishes them to a mirror finish. They are solid metal, with no plating that could flake.
Installation
The four Explorer covers, for SUVs without keyless entry, go directly over the existing pillar surface with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA says the tape will hold for a lifetime with no harm to the 2020-2025 Ford.
Wash and dry the pillars, then wipe off wax. Hold each piece in place to check the fit, peel the liner, and press firmly from one end to the other. The Installation tab gives the full routine.
Best results
Install on a mild, dry day in the shade or a garage. Tape bonds most reliably to a clean panel at a comfortable temperature. Step back after each piece to check the line from a few feet away.
Specs and help
Part number PP60333 has UPC 840251605537. The Specs tab lists material, gauge, and piece count. If you are unsure whether your Explorer has keyless entry, call Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 before ordering.
A soft cloth after installation clears fingerprints, and the trim washes with the rest of the SUV from then on. Both non-keypad kits are complete sets, so settle on coverage before ordering.

Installation tips: Pillar Post Trim
- Unpack all 4 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
