2020 Ford Explorer Review & First Drive - An Exciting New Chapter | Edmunds
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 чер 2019
- Edmunds travels to the Pacific Northwest to test-drive the all-new 2020 Ford Explorer, the all-new sixth generation of this popular family SUV. There's a lot to examine here because this is a comprehensive redesign that includes a switch back to rear-wheel drive, an enlarged interior, improved tech features and no less than four available powertrains - one of which is a new hybrid.
This new Explorer does not disappoint on any number of levels. Compared to last year, the new rear-drive chassis represents a big step forward in stability and ride comfort. The roomy new interior is comfortable and spacious, and, despite a few minor quibbles with interior materials, we found it to be an enjoyable road-trip machine. Its base 2.3-liter engine is perfectly adequate, and the hybrid is both smooth-driving and capable. Yes, even the hybrid can venture off-road and tow a boat as well as the rest of them. The new Explorer is better in almost every way, but the price can get expensive if you get too enthusiastic with the extensive options sheet.
About the Ford Explorer
The new 2020 Ford Explorer is redesigned from the ground up. It boasts a new rear-wheel-drive platform, a larger cabin and new driver safety features.
The base 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder develops more power than last year and comes standard on the base, XLT and Limited trims. At the top of the line, you'll find the sport-minded ST and the Platinum. A gutsy new turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 powers both, but the ST's is tuned to produce even more power and torque. Also interesting is the new Limited Hybrid, which promises respectable power and high fuel economy for an SUV.
We're also impressed by the new safety features. Every Explorer comes with the Co-Pilot360 suite, which includes blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, and pre-collision warning. A more robust version of the system is optional on the next trim level up, meaning that even modestly priced Explorers can be equipped with the full complement of driving aids.
The sixth-generation Explorer looks to be an exciting new chapter for the venerable SUV, and one that might shake up the midsize three-row segment. It still faces strong competition from the Chevrolet Traverse, Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, and Toyota Highlander, but overall we think the Explorer will be a top model you'll want to check out this year.
Ford Explorer Models
The 2020 Ford Explorer is a three-row midsize SUV with seating for seven, or six if you opt for the second-row captain's chairs. The base model is well-equipped and comes with a solid number of safety and convenience features for a wallet-friendly price.
Next up is the Explorer Limited, which adds leather and most of the XLT's optional extras. A Limited Hybrid is also available. Finally, the ST adds a high-output V6 and performance upgrades, and the luxurious Platinum comes with (almost) all the bells and whistles the Explorer offers.
The high-octane Ford Explorer ST unleashes the fury with a turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (400 hp, 415 lb-ft), 20-inch wheels and a sport-tuned suspension. It also adds special styling cues, the Trailer Tow package (optional on XLT and Limited models), an auto-dimming exterior mirror on the driver's side, a digital instrument panel, sport front seats, automated parallel and perpendicular parking, and reverse automatic emergency braking.
At the top of the Explorer hierarchy is the luxe Explorer Platinum. It has the same engine as the ST but with a lower power output (365 hp, 380 lb-ft). You also get adaptive headlights, unique taillights, a two-piece sunroof (optional on the XLT and the Limited), leather-wrapped interior trim, and upgraded leather upholstery.

Your reviews in general are FAR ahead of others. Pleasure to listen, full of good content, not too long and finally not a cookie cutter format.
I think I would prefer that 8 inch touchscreen since you get that little bit of storage underneath
Great 2020 Explorer presentation! Can't wait to drive the ST I ordered!
I'm buying a used 2020. How is your car, did you have any problems?
I want to love this Explorer. Been extremely happy since 2002 with 5 consecutive Ford cars and trucks, no issues on any of them ( 2002 escape, 2006 explorer, 2010 f150, 2011 mustang gt and 2013 edge) The exterior styling is a hit, but the interior feels and looks underwhelming compared to the Telluride and Palissade I test drove on the same day. Also, I felt the steering had a weird feel to it at low speeds. But the biggest draw back is the 2.3 turbo. The nice salesman that took me on a test drive told me at one point to set it on sport mode and do a hard launch to show me the power; there is so much lag at take off that it feels like the truck is about to stall. Once that lag is gone, the truck does launch like a bat out of hell. It’s just a weird feeling. Call me old fashion, but I enjoy the linear feeling of non turbo v6 . Did not make my decision , still pondering and going to give the Honda passport a try before making my final decision ( I don’t really need the 3rd row, but do appreciate the overall size of available storage when in 2 row seating configuration)
Just got back from a little trip where we drove a Limited as our rental car. I’ve been researching a purchase since we got back. LOVED IT! So roomy, comfortable, great “get-up-and-go”. Got to have one.
I went and test drove one of these today and was really impressed by it!! I drove a limited model that stickers for right under 50000 but was listed for 48500! Anyway my thoughts 1 The ride is really good and we hit some roads that have uneveness and pot holes and the suspension soaked that up! Really good ride! The interior is better than i thought and looks really nice! Safety this thing has a tony of safey a list so long i am not going to name all that! Finally the B&O sound system blows away any system in any car under 60000 and is even better than the Burmester in Mercedes!! I cranked The lithium station on Satellite radio and was blown away then switched to the Hits station and Billie Eilish Bad Guy playing this system produces strong tight bass with clear mids and highs!! The Salesman agreed!! My thought yeah probably gonna buy i reallly like it!!!!
Looks pretty good, going to test drive after this review. Thanks
This will be the next police vehicle of choice. Nice job Ford. However, I’m not an early adopter so I’ll wait on the mid cycle update and let Ford work out the bugs especially on the hybrid.
google Vincent Chin or visit ricekiller.com. big3 racism.
I had a 2018 Limited as a rental for three weeks. I thought I’d hate it, but after a little while I was in love with it. I’m considering this one for my next lease, the only aspect I didn’t like about the limited is all the chrome.
For those still bemoaning the demise of Ford's sedans (and I understand that sentiment), the new Explorer at least indicates that the company hasn't been asleep at the switch in broadening the appeal of their SUV's. The new Explorer has much to recommend it. There is, however, one issue that deserves to be explored.
I'm a fan of turbocharged 4 bangers in the 2.0-2.5L displacement category. I've been driving such vehicles since the '80's (Saabs) and I have a 2.0L turbo in my GTI. Furthermore, I seriously considered a Mustang last year with the same 2.3L Ecosport engine and 10 speed transmission. It was very impressive both in terms of acceleration and (with optional suspension upgrades) in terms of handling. All in all I found it to be a reasonable alternative to some European sports coupes.
Having said that, however, a Mustang coupe loaded with fuel, and passengers weighs under 4000 lbs. A loaded Explorer is over 2.5 tons! Ford has apparently done a fine job in terms of maximizing the performance with the 2.3L turbo engine in the Explorer but I'm skeptical about the stress it's called upon to endure and the resulting impact on durability.
If the 2.3L turbo were meant to be mainly a fleet model or a base engine aimed only at budget shoppers it would be one thing. But the Explorer is in a category competing with a number of vehicles that offer standard or optional naturally aspirated V6's. And the vast majority of Explorers in both the XLT and Limited trims will come with the 2.3L engine. Upgrading to a V6 or a hybrid power train pushes the MSRP to well over $50,000; in some trim combinations to over $60K.
Those who purchase the new Explorer with the base engine will have to believe it's adequate in terms of performance and longevity. Any problems that arise will be down the road. And perhaps Ford has managed to deal with the fact that an engine is heavily stressed in a large, heavy vehicle. But it's something to think about.
Stephen Hendricks agreed. I wish you could option the 3.0 in the XLT.
If you drive a turbo car, putting premium is definitely worth it. Coming from a guy that used regular for almost 5 years, I immediately noticed a satisfying boost of power with premium after the second tank.
Dennis Xu @ uh yeah, right. Satisfying boost of power? I call bullshit! Suckers like you keep gasoline companies rolling in the dough! Read up a bit on ecoboost engines and then come back! (hint, ecoboost engines adapt to any fuel 87 octane and above)
Still not a big fan of the face, but I haven't seen it in real life yet. I love that the base engine is competitive with top engines the competition offers and even happier that it's RWD and offers a hybrid. I look forward to some comparisons.
Having seen the 2020 Explorer at an auto show. I found it to be greatly improved over the model it's replacing both inside and out. Great body lines. I found the front to be attractive. Slopping rear roofline. I'm a big fan of the ST. Looking forward to a test drive. Intererior was comfortable, with a luxury feel and loads of technology available. I should add the engine choices with hybrid technology is ahead of other similar SUV in this class.
Sehr guter Test, angenehmer Tester, klasse Auto, bildschön.👍👍👍
I like the hybrid powertrain design. I can see that type of setup going in all their vehicles. Simple but effective.
Great review.
Just purchased an ST and love it. Huge improvement over our 18.
I'm buying a used 2020. How is your car, did you have any problems?
Really liked this review.
Great content! Thanks.
I like the new Explorer overall, but that screen is so big and ugly sticking out over the dashboard. Not sure if the dash is a deal breaker, but it would give me pause. The interior and cargo room are nice. Great review as usual.
the dash shouldn't be the deal breaker; what if the explorer had the best ride quality? or the sportiest drive?
At least you can get it with a horizontal screen instead.
Safety, reliability, maintenance, price, & comfort/drive are important all other subject are minor and not important including all bells + whistles + crap automobiles comes with. End of story.
@@bigkhona9723 Not end of story if what people like/dislike about a car go beyond what you said was important. If I hated an interior of the car I was driving, I wouldn't buy it based on other things. I would go find a car or SUV that met what I thought was important.
@@Joseph-du8ws go play with a bicycle kid, but as you are well educated tell us please which interior to choose in order to save a life in an accident. Again end of story kid.
The new Ford Explorer is just missing an available V6 Naturally Aspirated Engine, not everyone wants turbo or hybrid engine. Thanks.
Very good thorough review. I just wish they would have let you review an xlt with a 2nd row bench.
I prefer the boxy look of the older model. This new one appears tapered or squashed in the back.
Love the easily accessible third row!
Ford stepping up their game. Bravo.
Seen two already on the road cops will be using them soon
Really? They’re a piece of shit
The new Ford Explorer doesn't meet nearly what it should considering it's a full re design. Once again Ford falls short. You shouldn't have to spend 50k+ to get a decent interior. It's interior is not as nice as other competitors and it's engines are not very well engineered resulting in bad MPG. If a 6 cylinder from a competitor does as good in MPG as a Ford 4 cylinder you know somethings wrong.
wow. very nice video!
it’s price that differentiates these SUV’s. I’ve recently test driven both the Palisade and the Platinum
Explorer 2020. Cheap headliner in the Hyundai and funky mount under the bumper (looks after market) tow hitch! WTH The Palisade also lagged in transmission shifting when I attempted to accelerate quickly. Local dealers are charging 5k premium due to popularity, which then makes the prices comparable. So I’m the proud new owner of a 2020 Explorer Platinum! I actually put them side by side on the lot and looked at them both inside and out. Yes, I was that customer!
Most people don't realize the little gap in the front dashboard is easier to take off & on for service access (less chance of damaging). Everyone uses plastic and the area where it is hard it's because it's made more durable (you see in the future). The higher cost is because RWD is more expensive to make but they are more durable, tow better, and better performance (that's why European Luxury cars are RWD). You lose a little room in the third row because it's RWD. The Kia Telluride is roomier, but not as powerful (you mind as well as buy a minivan).
Man that vertical iPad is such an afterthought. Epic fail
Paul M it’s actually very intentional 😂. Almost every automaker has something similar. Those “floating screens” are a new trend and they aren’t going anywhere.
Cody Warren I think he means it’s just not integrated as well
lol
Cody Warren other manufacturers integrate the “tablet” design more cohesively. This one looks like a tacked-on aftermarket design
The floating tablet puts it close to the plane of your eye so you glance down less, that being said while I understand the ergonomic factor I'm afraid I would probably break the "tablet" with a 2x4 6 weeks in.
It looks spectacular
Yours is the highest quality of all the video reviews I’ve seen today. However, calling out the lack of 3-across 3rd row is a bit disingenuous. Rather, call out the competition for claiming room for 3 in 3rd row, even though they are narrower than the Explorer.
My same thought about that.
You sir, talked me out of buying one. Thankyou
This newest generation has a nicer look than the current 2019. The current 2019 Explorer is too bubbly, while the 2020 has perfect aerodynamics and straight angles of a true SUV. I'm also happy to see they went back to traditional RWD.
Ford might have decided on this design due to the feedback of the current generation Mustang. The previous Mustang was too bubbly with all of its flares and curves, while the current Mustang has a good combination of straight angles and aerodynamics.
I never buy new cars.
Just bought a 2020 XLT 2 weeks ago.
After being a hardcore pickup driver, I really like my explorer
And I absolutely LOVE the mpg difference
Good looking suv and a great driver
We test drove one and liked it above all other suv's we drove. We had to pass on it because of the screen in the dash. It was very distracting because of how high it stuck up.
The 2020 is a step in the right direction. I hope over time its off-road performance improves.
I love the front facia look. I know the PIU had carbon monoxide leak issue in the cabin a few years back did it happen with the civilian model? Nice looking over all.
Thanks for showing so much Platinum trim. Not sure about the dash and two-tone seats though.
Good review matt Watson is getting competition
How about the cargo space on the Hybrid version?
Low key, this 2020 explorer has caught my eye.....
I'm Barbara Walters...and THIS....is 2020 💯😂
The Telluride in Sx trim still seems to be the winner here
Again the only 2.3, the Hybrid will destroy the Kia.
Hell the 2.3 competes with the top lone Kia.
How's the road noise? Does it drive smooth?
I’m very excited about the new Explorer! Looks great and that 400 HP EcoBoost is going to be great. On a side note; if you’re going to complain about the interior quality and use the Telluride (which I love) as a comparison you should probably use a picture of an actual Telluride. 😂
Josh Gibb Tellurides are butt ugly. Just saying.
The Telluride is too new to compare a long established nameplate like the Explorer to. The Telluride could turn out to be a dud.
The horizontal iPad in the dash looks much better. When is the Base model coming out. I'd like to upgrade my 2016 Base for a 2020 Base.
New 2020 XLT is 2016 Base - no fog lights ,no turn signal on side mirrors ,no 7 seats ,no 10 inch screen,no chrome door hanldle ( plastic only)
We just got an xlt for a work truck at my company, pretty nice, remote start, nice infotainment system, leather seats, decent acceleration from the turbo 4 cylinder, if I could change one thing it would be the drive selector, the dial makes it clunky to do a quick 3 point turn, but hopefully that will change when I get more used to it.
Its looking beautiful and large.
just bought one two months ago...its a great vehicle
I sitll prefer touch buttons as in my 2013 ..they are easy to use and to clean as well
Love it. But too rich for me. But I think it’s amazing.
Rear wheel drive, 5000lbs towing, heated & cooled seats, heated steering wheel, acoustic laminated glass, and a decent sized gas tank? I’m intrigued. I mean I’m REALLY intrigued HERE.
Yea, for $58k you can get that!
But my 2019 Pilot Touring has just about all that and more for value price of $44,495. !!!
I love how everyone has forgotten there has already been a 7 seat, rwd based crossover that can tow up to 6000 lbs on the market for 8 years. It's called the Dodge Durango. Ford didn't do anything original here except the hybrid powertrains.
Sure! How many recalls this time!?
Best looking Ford in a Very long time!
@Edmunds
*WHAT'S THE MPG SINCE IT'S A HYBRID?*
They can’t talk about it yet, embargoed.
Outside is beautiful, but the inside is bargain basement. Did they spy at the telluride before presenting this interior package.
Wholeheartedly agree. I hate how this thing is getting rave reviews when it's got one of the worst modern interiors I've seen.
The explorer is a far superior vehicle than the Kia. More fuel efficient, more powerful, more features, etc
@@PCSPITTER4NY ok, what's your point? We're not talking about those things. We're talking about how the new interior is fugly! LoL
Not true at all. U see one up close? I was at DIAS auto show debut in Detroit . Biggest auto show in world. Was a show stopper!
@@josephcristo8489 ummm yea no. Its class leading all reviewers say so.
Excited for this Explorer to be available in Belgium, now I only need 80k euro :'D
Looking at the Telluride, I see that Kia made it taller in the back and a wee bit wider than the Explorer. Ford needs to make the third row 'special', like in the Telluride, with USB ports, dual cupholders, etc. This should show up in the 2021 refresh. Otherwise, not bad. I'd take this up a rough road vs a Telluride, cuz it actually happens a more true 4WD system.
Nice review! I finally bought a platinum and a big part was the 365hp/380fp engine, with 10 speed transmission. Didn't want all black interior (Sport has only black), and for me the power is FAR more than I need, and a 5Star tune kit can get it well above a Sport. Love all the layout, fit, trim, and for me, it's one of the nicest looking SUVs, inside and out, that I've seen. Lincoln equivalent was 13k higher price for little gain. Ecoboost gives me 19.3 average, not babying it either. At first I thought I'd hate that big screen but bought it at a dealer 150 miles from home, and by the time I got home, I love it, and still do. I can easily glance and see lots of info, large size images/fonts. If it were tucked down lower, you'd have to take your eyes more off the road to see it. Ram also has a nice display better integrated into the panel. The 360 "overhead" image is fantastic for parking, etc but image could've been bigger. Hood prop is "old school" but I don't work on my cars, so doesn't matter how the hood stays open. Very quiet, love the handling, looks, ergonomics, color (silver spruce metallic). It does a good job of speed limit sign recognition and has intelligent cruise that's great. Surprisingly good off-roadability and comes with self-sealing tires! Lots of "stuff" but I'm not a techie guy and it is intuitive, so fast learning curve. So yeah, $58k is what I paid, but looked at lots of other similar ones (drove a Range Rover Sport too....not for me), and I truly still love driving my car! Yes, it's a "Ford" but after driving it, they're blurring the lines between them and Lincoln. If you need the "fancy car brand to impress" then I guess it wouldn't be a contender.....just one guy's opinion, FWIW but I think it's a great all around vehicle and no regrets at all buying it (Lots, better than 2019's)
I'm buying a used 2020. How is your car, did you have any problems?
@@viniciusmayer1554 Some minor things like my driver window not closing on the auto_up mode but was a simple adjustment. Overall I've had no problems, tranny/engine are awesome and very fun to drive. Telluride is a joke compared to the explorer platinum for fun driving...I've driven them both. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I also think it's one of the best looking SUVs out there IMO. Good luck in buying it.
@@doabrewinfo6212 Thanks for your feedback.
Very interesting reading the comments comparing this to Telluride/Palisade which I'm in the market for and have test driven Telluride. Will now have to cross-shop against the 2020 Explorer, which appears will drive better due to new rear-wheel drive.
Hyundai has more space, much better reliability and warranty, better equipment and comfort. I always loved Ford, but from financial perspective, they got seriously outclassed by Hyundai and Kia. Ford is $50/month more expensive (in Canada) for Limited versus Ultimate Palisade (that comes with more tech than MB GLS).
This is my #1 choice car always a 1st pick :) 💚
Bring back the Eddie Bauer :):)
That's a good idea
yes! I had one of those. two toned maroon/tan
Does it have the same crappy A/C blend doors as my expedition and Taurus?
No. The Explorer didn't always have a blacked out A pillar. Nor a D pillar that was blacked out. 1st, 2nd, nor 3rd gen Explorers had blacked out A pillars.
The Explorer Sport nor Exploer Sport Trac had a blacked out C or D pillar
looks like that since Ford sold Land Rover and thought... Hey let's get inspired by the Discovery and Range Rover.
B and D have always been blacked out.
@@emed1977 I researched. And these vehicles have been in my family a few times.
that main screen it must be a pain to the eyes while night driving...I have Renault Clio IV and sometimes I turn off the main screen when at night. Those 4 seats aren't good for a 5 members family. You can't lower all seats in the back because u need one of them for the 3rd child at least.
I wish you had touched on the driver assist features especially how it keeps the vehicle centered in the lane, I think that's a huge miss for this video! Had to go to another video for that.
Good review! I would probably go Telluride but this is a good truck except for the screen designs.
Tom Waznis Kia? Are people really considering a Kia over a Ford? Unbelievable times
@@suppaman12 yeah kia is way better now a days, todays ford isnt 1903
daban yaseen you think a Kia motor is superior to a ford motor? You do deserve to buy a Kia. Enjoy it!!!
@moreno12 I’ve owned vehicles from both brands. Have you? Of course not. Kia is absolutely worthy of consideration, the Telluride is an incredible entry in this segment.
Matt Rogers it’s a Kia... the motor is built by Kia. I don’t think you follow
What color blue is he test driving in this video? Blue or Blue Atlas?
Good video....good job brother
Nice 👍 I was waiting for this one...
WoW it looks like a Range Rover especially the front end ! And another big WoW is the fact that you guys are using 87 octane ! I have NEVER heard of such a low octane number ever ! Hear in Europe we use 95 octane and that has been the standard for a very long time ! We also have 98 and 99 octane for performance cars that demands it !
MrChallenger76 that's cause across the pond you guys use Ron ratings and here in n/a we use Aki your 97 is our 91 octane... in n/a we just use a deferent rating system.... so our 87 octane is any where from 91-93 octane using Ron or mon numbers depending on your market.
Great! I love and will buy it
Is it 2020 already?
What is the mileage on the EcoBoost v6?
Not the best looking, but probably the best driving SUV in the segment.
I would say it is absolutely the best looking in the segment!
@@TimLucasdesign Well, that's subjective. Personally, I prefer the look of the Telluride, but this definitely drives better with that rear-wheel drive platform. Kinda bulky to me, but it's still good looking.
It should have a foot longer for seat arrangement.
What about the left foot in the driver side is still narrow
Bring back the LOW RANGE!
ford clearly dosn't want you to go off road with it. maybe the Bronco will be better?
I have a 2019 Ford Explorer love it but ford your quality control needs to step up for what I paid for it door -analysts doesn’t match up with dash by a quarter inch door seal leaks paint on inside of bottom doors can see the primer under neath
Door-analysts?
Beautiful SUV!
Why are there still Range Rover Sport cues?
The quad tailpipes are blocked forcing the exhaust to exit out the bottom (via cutouts) of the tailpipes. Any explanation why ford did this?
This was to deal with the recall they had on the outgoing model inhaling its own exhaust. I'm pretty sure almost all of the trims point down now for this reason but I haven't seen one up close.
It’s a very nice car. If I got this, I’d HAVE to name it Forda the Explorer
Why there is so little discussion/review about the Explorer 2020 base model?
Hey, Jaguar Land Rover are on the phone, they'd like their Discovery styling back when you're done ripping it off...
You obviously do not realise that the current JLR styled cars were styled at a time when ford owned those brands.....so who's ripping off who? it wouldnt surprise me if the underpinnings of many of these JLR, Ford, Mazda, Volvo's are'nt the same.
Great masculine stance on the exterior, Dashboard has a cheap look to it which is a shame considering what Ford has achieved in the power-train options available.
I love the Platinum..
The price on it will definitely keep shoppers away from it. 63k for an Explorer, and it’s still missing some features that the Telluride has at 51k? many will just go for the Telluride or even pay a little more for a GLS.
Like what?
@@ferreo1374 Well, it's tech isn't as easy to use as the Tellurides, and the Tellurides screen doesn't look like a stuck on iPad. The Telluride also has more thoughtful features, like a blind spot camera in the all-digital gauge cluster, and actual Nappa leather seats, Safe Exit Assist, Driver Talk, Ventilated REAR seats, and it's industry leading 10 year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. And it's 13k less than a comparable fully loaded Explorer Platinum.
@@evanlandry9503 If you need all that take the bus.
Ferre O Well I mean why would someone buy something with less stuff for a stupid high asking price and a terrible interior? Id rather have more for less and a better warranty.
@@evanlandry9503 Reason for the Explorer is costing more is because it has a more expensive rear wheel drive platform. Tellurides is front wheel drive crossover like the old Explorer. Explorer has a more powerful engine line up and 10 speed transmission. The Telluride is only a 8 speed transmission. The Explorer will have better driving dynamics too because its rear wheel drive based platform. Telluride has no automatic back up braking and cannot park it self either. The Explorer is a all around better performer the Telluride.
Will this car be sold in the UK ?
MSRP?? Don't remember catching it. Price from low to high plz
Lower octane fuels should not impact the power output of engines. Octane is not a measure of energy density, but rather of the resistance of the fuel to detonation as compression increases. High performance engines typically require high octane fuels (e.g. 93 octane using the U.S. method) because they operate at higher compression ratios. Using 87 octane fuel will cause a high performance engine to advance the spark timing to avoid engine detonation. While this will minimally reduce the power output of the engine, it's also true the high octane fuels have a slightly lower energy density than regular fuels, so the net difference should be negligible.
Đẹp hơn so với 2019 , nhưng model 2020 lại đáng tiếc là nóc mui phần sau lại thấp xuống làm cho đầu người hàng ghế thứ 3 gần chạm nốc mui
xe ?!
I am on my 3rd Explorer (1994, 1998, 2005) and have not found another suv with the tight turning radius of each of my Explorers. One thing that these videos fail to show is how small of an area the 2020 can turn in so I can consider my 4th Ford.
Our 2013 Explorer is easier to park than our 2008 Ford Fusion. The turning is very nice
Sir, how do you actually know what people will put in their car for fuel? So, your concern about what octane I might not use is why you failed to provide "hard numbers?" Why no front view of the instrument cluster? Very interesting review.
2:56 I'm sorry, did you just say both those screens are great?? They look ridiculous, especially the "half in/half out" portrait screen. 🤦🏻♂️
I agree. The screens (both) look ridiculous in what is supposed to be a refined vehicle!! The larger is just UGLY!! Complete deal breaker...
I think I would go for the bigger screan but you know the interior doesn't bother me
Every one is following Tesla. Look at volvos screens.
Can Ford Explorers Be Converted To Right Hand Drive
I have an explorer and how you explain the foot activated gate is not accurate.
Now im having a hardtime choosing subaru ascent or ford explorer just base trim buyer hmm
Explorer
If you need AWD go with the Subaru as it's standard equipment. If you don't, go with the Explorer, it's better in every conceivable way.
2020 Ford Explorer (Platinum)❤🎉
magnificent
This is going to be a HUGE hit for Ford
Ponygt 662 not with that ugly ass portrait iPad in the centre.
pirate1012 lol it will outsell the old one. It will be huge.
@@pirate1012 See, the ugly portrait will be a pathetic reason to avoid the rest of Explorers inanely good package , lets face it, apart from this minor deficiencies the New Explorer is too good to be avoided by US car buyer
Ponygt 662 do you work for Ford? People dislike cars for far more pathetic reasons.
@@pirate1012 No, I dont work for Ford, anyway concerning pathetic reasons, probably, but I dont think that is enough to take away a buy or not buy decision,
I wonder how it stacks up against the Palisade...
My engineer friend at gmc told me that he always assume that the rwd chassis provide a better handling. I actually will and need to test drive both to determine if that's true.
