2020 Ford Explorer


Recommended Posts

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.

4 times it doesn't work at all when I start the car.  No radio, no HVAC controls that aren't defrost, and no idea what temperature I'm changing it to. 

All the firmware up to date? I’ve had my 17 for a year and a half. 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.

This thing looks promising. 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.

Car is only 8 months old. 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.

So there's no V6 available on the 2wd ones at all? 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.

I just checked it out the site and I just laughed my ass off. If you go to Explore you heritage and look at all the old Explorer pictures, What tires are on them? You would at least think they would have photoshopped the Firestone’s off first.

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.

Looking at the generations picture the 2020 looks wider and taller.

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.

mustang first gen - 1964 - 1973

second gen- 1974 - 1978

third gen - 1979 - 1993

fourth gen - 1994 - 2004

fifth gen - 2005 - 2014

sisxty gen -2015 - 2021

Though the MY06 was more of a MCE, it was pretty substantial. 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!

And EVERY comment is about the ugly display. 

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. It reminds me of a iPad in a child’s tough book case.

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 Nautilus interior is a let down for the update, it still is very nice, a few little updates from the MKX they could have really updated the feel of it. 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....
