  • Reliability (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Early models of the 2020 Explorer had some reported issues, particularly with the transmission and electronics. While many were addressed, it impacted initial reliability perceptions. Later builds generally show improvement.
  • Maintenance (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are generally in line with other large SUVs. Parts are readily available, but some specific repairs can be more involved due to the vehicle's complexity. Fuel economy is average for its class.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The standard infotainment system is functional but can feel a bit dated compared to some rivals. While it includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the screen size and interface could be more modern. Advanced safety features are available but not as comprehensive as standard on some competitors.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The interior is spacious and comfortable, especially in the first two rows. The ride quality is generally smooth, absorbing most road imperfections well. Third-row access and space are decent for occasional use.
  • Dynamics (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The 2020 Explorer XLT offers a solid and confident driving experience for an SUV of its size. The standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine provides adequate power for most situations, and the handling is predictable and stable, though not particularly sporty.

2020 Ford Explorer: A Comprehensive Overview

The 2020 Ford Explorer marked a significant redesign for the popular mid-size SUV, ushering in a new generation with a rear-wheel-drive-biased platform, updated powertrains, and a more sophisticated interior. This generation aimed to recapture the adventurous spirit of the Explorer's past while incorporating modern technology and amenities.

Highlights

  • Engine Options: The 2020 Explorer offered a range of potent and efficient engine choices:
    • 2.3L EcoBoost Inline-4: This turbocharged engine served as the standard offering, providing a good balance of power and fuel economy for everyday driving. It's capable of brisk acceleration and comfortable highway cruising.
    • 3.0L EcoBoost V6: Available on higher trims, this twin-turbocharged V6 delivered a significant boost in performance with stronger acceleration and more responsive power delivery.
    • 3.0L EcoBoost V6 Hybrid: For those seeking enhanced efficiency without compromising power, the hybrid option paired the V6 with electric motors, offering impressive MPG figures and a refined driving experience.
    • 3.0L EcoBoost V6 (ST): The performance-oriented Explorer ST model featured a sport-tuned version of the 3.0L EcoBoost V6, delivering exhilarating acceleration and a more engaging driving dynamic.
  • Safety Features: Ford equipped the 2020 Explorer with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) as standard or available options:
    • Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): Detects potential frontal collisions and automatically applies the brakes to mitigate or avoid impacts.
    • Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert: Warns the driver of vehicles in their blind spots and alerts them to approaching traffic when backing out of a parking space.
    • Lane-Keeping System: Monitors lane markers and can subtly steer the vehicle back into its lane if drifting.
    • Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and automatically adjusts it to keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
    • Evasive Steering Assist: Can provide steering assistance to help drivers avoid a collision when an obstacle is detected.
  • Trim Levels: The 2020 Explorer was offered in several well-defined trim levels, each building upon the previous:
    • Explorer: The foundational trim, offering a solid set of features for everyday usability.
    • XLT: Adds more comfort and convenience features, often including upgraded interior materials and enhanced infotainment options.
    • Limited: Elevates the luxury and technology with premium upholstery, advanced infotainment, and additional safety features.
    • ST: The sporty variant, featuring unique styling cues, a more powerful V6 engine, and a sport-tuned suspension for enhanced performance.
    • Platinum: The pinnacle of luxury and technology, offering the most premium materials, advanced features, and the most powerful engine options.
  • Rear-Wheel-Drive Bias: A notable departure, the new platform featured a rear-wheel-drive architecture (with available all-wheel drive). This shift contributed to improved on-road dynamics and a more traditional SUV driving feel.
  • Interior Redesign: The cabin underwent a significant overhaul, boasting a more modern and upscale design with improved materials, a larger available infotainment touchscreen, and a greater sense of spaciousness.

What to Expect

Ownership of a 2020 Ford Explorer typically offers a comfortable and capable experience. The ride quality is generally smooth and composed, making it well-suited for daily commuting and long road trips. The new platform contributes to a more planted feel on the road. Maintenance is generally straightforward, with most routine services, such as oil changes, tire rotations, and brake inspections, being on par with other vehicles in its class. Expect to follow Ford's recommended maintenance schedule to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the vehicle, particularly for the turbocharged EcoBoost engines. Insurance costs will vary based on factors such as your driving record, location, and the specific trim level and engine chosen. Higher-performance trims like the ST may incur slightly higher premiums due to their increased power.

Potential Considerations

While the 2020 Explorer represented a significant step forward, there are a few aspects potential buyers should be aware of:

  • Third-Row Access: While the second-row captain's chairs (available on some trims) improve access, the third row in the Explorer is still best suited for children or occasional adult use due to limited legroom and headroom.
  • Infotainment System Learning Curve: While the available large touchscreen offers many features, some users might find the SYNC 3 infotainment system to have a slight learning curve initially.
  • Engine Noise (V6): While generally refined, some drivers have noted that the V6 engines, particularly the EcoBoost variants, can produce a noticeable amount of engine noise under hard acceleration.
  • Suspension Tuning (ST): The sportier suspension tuning on the Explorer ST, while excellent for performance, might offer a firmer ride than some buyers prefer for everyday comfort.

Overall Summary

The 2020 Ford Explorer is a well-rounded and capable mid-size SUV that successfully blends a more engaging driving experience with modern technology and a refined interior. With its diverse engine options, comprehensive safety features, and distinct trim levels, it caters to a broad range of buyers. While the third-row space is a common limitation in its segment, the overall package offers a compelling proposition for families and individuals seeking a versatile and stylish SUV.
