Assimilator Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) It looks like the 3rd row gained some roominess. 2019 vs 2020 Headroom: 37.8" vs 38.9" Legroom: 32" vs 32.2" Shoulder Room: 50.8" vs 54.6" Hip-Room: 40.7" vs 40.9" Interestingly, the only exterior dimension that changes significantly is the wheelbase, otherwise the width, height, and length are nearly identical.

Only once did that happen but not since I updated Sync. The time it did. I just shut it of, restarted and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be this or the bronco to replace our town car for family hauling duties in about 3 years. I'm really hoping the 3.0L will be available in a rwd base or XLT (whatever trim is necessary to keep the second row seat a bench). That tacked on tablet looks horrendous though. Another reason I'll stick to the lower trims. 3.0L is ST and Platinum only and will be AWD. Also the bench seat will be standard, the second row captains chairs will be optional.

Shouldn't need a firmware update try shutting it off and restart 5-6 times every time and it didn't fix it. I just played some music on my phone and stuck it in the cup holder to amplify it.

I've got nothing against ecoboost, just prefer the smoother V6 engine type and more power is always better. Unfortunately that might be a deal killer for me.

Assimilator Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) The 3.3L V6 appears to be Hybrid only unless you're Police, and that's still standard AWD. Edited January 10, 2019 by Assimilator 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That list is a hot mess. The one photo that is listed as a 2000 is wrong, it is a 1999. Was the only year you could get the illuminated running boards on the Explorer. They were decontented for the 2000 MY. Auto temperature control was introduced in 1995 with the redesign not 1998. Second generation front Airbags showed up in 1998 not 1999. LED Headlights became standard on the 2016 not 2018, Its odd they mention inflatable seatbelts as Ford no longer even offers them (they also got removed from the '19 Edge/Nautilus) or the heated windshield as the only model with that is the Transit Connect. They didn't mention that SYNC showed up in the 2008 model year. And Heated seats shows up in 1999 not 2007. They did however leave off MyFordTouch for the 2011 launch which was probably smart.

Bob Rosadini Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 My two cents- I think it is a great looking vehicle. Not crazy about that center stack screen but I guess that is what the future holds. . As for the presentation, Hackett and Farley should not do live shots IMO. Hmnn-wonder if a 5.0 will fit? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBirdStangSkyliner Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I like this so much better than the offal thing they saddled the Explorer name with for the last few years. Maybe the term "Exploder" can now start to be forgotten. This one looks nice and hopefully has the chops to be more than a high riding Taurus station wagon.

AGR Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So, the Explorer has 6 generations?? Some of those are just MCEs. But 1964-73 Mustangs constitute one generation?? Whatever... There's at least two generations in there, 1964-70 and 1971-73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford spent 500 million on it. They changed alot under the skin. And, yes, I agree on the "1st gen" Mustang which was more like 4 generations in one...heck it switched platforms in '71! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason it looks ugly is that at least in the US market place it just looks different. If they could shrink the fat borders around the screen, that would help.

IMSA-XJR9 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I dig it! Looking forward to seeing and driving one later this year. (Hmmm . . . . wonder what one (blue, red, white) would look like with Tan lower body/wheel cladding . . . Eddie Bauer?! ?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markfnc Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Had a 2003, still have a 2007 (233,000 miles). This new one looks awesome, exterior and interior. Glad towing is up more. I'd love it if it wasn't probably $45,000+ for what I'd want. My 2007 Eddie Bauer was $28,000 new. You can see it here in the background after I got the Taurus.

The Digital IC in it is beautiful, very nice the Explorer is getting this.https://www.ford.com/suvs/explorer/2020/ has some nice photos The biggest let down in the Nautilus interior update was that they kept the giant wall of a center console....
