2020 Ford Explorer - Review & Road Test
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ม.ค. 2020
- As long as it isn't painted black and white with lights and sirens flashing on top of it in your rearview mirror, the sixth-generation Ford Explorer is a welcome and familiar sight. There's all kinds of new to talk about from the blue oval, and KBB.com's Lyn Woodward does a lot of that in a blue checked shirt.
For the latest Ford Explorer pricing and information:

Not enough cop jokes. Police use more next time.
ROFL came to comment on exactly the same thing.
Yeh almost made me lose interest in possibly purchasing one lol. What sporty type wants a vehicle that cops or soccer moms drive?
I wish cops used more Chargers and Crown Vics. Explorers are cool, but chargers and Crown Vics are legendary cop cars.
It reinforced the fact I don’t want one because it’s what the cops use
@@demRucks cops use older versions they cant afford brand new 2020 explorers lol
That vertical tablet touchscreen is the laziest dash design I've seen in awhile.
Welcome to the future.....
I would point that finger to Model 3.
The new RAM does it right tbh.
of ford...lol
you got that right..
Ahhh, the Explorer. The official car of "well, it could be a mom, but I'll go 5 mph below anyways."
I can’t A Ford one.
Haha, that's a GOOD one 👍.
It’s worth it
Bum Bum. Now clear off. 😁
👍👍👍
Good one
Just picked up a XLT for my wife with upgraded package and 20inch rim package as well. I think this is the sweet spot for the Explorer at $40k you get just enough and nothing you don't need at a very affordable price. Just came back from a small road trip and all I can say is I am very impressed. did great on gas mileage and very quite and comfortable. I had no problem cruising at 85mph the whole way. I would defiantly recommend this for a family hauler.
No, it's not you. The iPad looks tacky as heck.
Ford is nuts if they think an Explorer is worth 60k
SilentShores agree but the whole industry is expensive now
Good one
In Europe platinum trim explorer cost 100000$ and i really think its fairly good price😬
@@shaesham It's certainly true that well equipped 3 row crossovers typically represent a significant price bump compared to their compact brethren. But having said so, the MSRP of mainstream well optioned crossovers seldom exceed $50K. Ford's MSRP for top trim Explorers explodes that figure to near or over $60,000 and makes a moderately optioned mid-trim Lincoln Aviator Reserve with an MSRP of about $65,000 a tempting alternative.
Most 2020 Explorers sold are top of the line trims.
Ford Explorer won me over with the room in the driver and passenger front seat. I have been looking for the most comfortable driver's seat I could find. It was my number 1 priority. We chose the cloth seats because they were more comfortable than the leather. The driver seat also adjusts positions very well. It was and still is hard to find a roomy and comfortable driver seat even in big SUV's. We sat in many models and found the Explorer driver seat the best by far. Thank you Ford engineers on this one.
But in other words, EXPLORE more options.
joseph Reyes of course. Honda Pilot, Hyundai Palisade, Kia Telluride
Your Telluride will be delivered in 8 - 10 weeks.
Brian Waller SAME! Or also a CR-V!
I’ll stick to my 2012. It’s paid off and it fits more people. Cars are getting ridiculously expensive but it’s nothing better than what I already have.
I was thinking to buy a new explorer, but I can't stand the ugly desing. I'll buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Luis Luis lol have fun with your well built Chrysler fiat product 😂🤦🏻
@@CarMaintenanceGuy actually, I upgraded after my post in May. I do have a 2020 explorer now. I am enjoying all of those features! Lol my 12 was in good shape but needed a little work. I don’t regret it.
@@CarMaintenanceGuy My Pontiac Aztec is way better than that new Ford Exploder. Plus, everyone thinks I'm Walter White. So, every time I stop at a stoplight in the hood, dudes throw some cash in the driver's seat side for a nickel bag or two, or three.
@@CarMaintenanceGuy On the koolaid much?
Thank you for this review it was very helpful and now I’m thinking about getting it as a car
Wish it came standard with some reliability
Trans cooler will leak by 1st oil change..
My dream car for past five years...saving to get one in the next 2 years.
She’s back again. Dang!!!
The display does look tacked on, it’s supposed to. The thing is that it can be done in a better way, the best example being any newer MB. Also, I recently drove a new Expedition and thought that I felt slipping in the trans but figured it was just choosing a different low gear on take off, thanks for calling it out.
Coming to a rental car agency near you!! 😂
As well as to your local police and fire department. Altogether about 1/3rd of all Explorers go to Fleets.
@@stephenhendricks103 Ford sold 35k fleet the other 230k were civilian. Ford would of had to sell 53k more to fleet to be 1/3 fleet sales.
Mark Jose 🤦♂️
Mark Jose Nawl that’s the Tahoe’s/ and Suburbans the tourist areas in the spring and summer are gonna be flooded with the new 2021 models
Mark Jose
Looks better than a Toyota SUV
I should have made this a drinking game everytime she mentioned the police. 🍻 🤦🏼♂️
I wouldn't like it just for the fact that everyone would be driving slow around you
irishcoliny Totally agree especially the black color
irishcoliny - Fr Fr i hate when i see black explorers .. evry1 be slowin down cus they think its cops
There’s really no need to drive below the speed limit when you see a cop car on the highway. Obviously don’t go 100 mph on a 65, but if you go 65-80, cops don’t give a fk. I regularly drive 10-15 mph above speed limit on the highway passing cops sitting in the bush and have never been pulled over. As long as you are driving safely, you will be fine. It’s the people driving 100 mph, zipping in and out of lanes without turn signals, tailgating, etc that get pulled over.
It would seem the I pad look improves visibility. If it was molded in to the dash the dash would have to be bigger to encompass it and cut down outward visibility
Bought a 2020 Limited this past January. Traded 17 Explorer Sport. 20 was not what the 17 was and I am talking attention to detail. 20 was sloppy as dash trim didn’t not fit. Had 8 inch screen and every time I went to the dealer they would ask if backup camera or screen has any issues. When I said no they would say well you will. Because work furnishes me with a vehicle I put 5500 miles on it since January. Traded it this past weekend for a new 2020 Chevy Silverado and I have been a Ford guy for many years. I liked the Explorer didn’t love it. I love the Silverado and told my wife I have a vehicle that is ‘fun to drive’ again. My wife traded her 17 Limited for a 2020 Hyundai Palisade in July because she did not like the way new Explorer drove actually hates mine and the attention to detail in the Palisade is amazing and cost way less for more features
As a standard rear wheel drive based crossover, this drives more like a traditional suv than the competition. Either a plus or a minus for your tastes but it’s at least different
That tablet... VP came out, we need big screen, I mean big. Engineers, make it happen.. Engineer said, we can't, it's too late for it.. VP said, I don't care, we need it.. Engineer said, sure, let's just slap it there..... 😔
Exactly so lol
Big screens are a thing, check out Ram, Tesla and Volvo. Raising them up is also a thing, as the public complains when it's too low and they have to take their eyes off the road to see it.
Watching this in 2024. I think they are know for transmission problems. But I still like them and may pick one up used. Thanks for the review Lynn.
Grand Cherokee is 3 row? You had one friggin job!
Since when Grand cherokee is a three row SUV?
looks nothing like a grand cherokee.....
Pravin TheNonCarGuy I think she meant the Dodge durango
Tuesday.
Alex on auto, when reviewing the Ford explorer, said Ford claims that customers cross shop the explorer with the grand Cherokee.
md free may be true but they don’t directly compete.
Hey do they also use model for police vehicles? You forgot to mention it...
My friend got a new 2020 explorer last month and the transmission got blew up somehow. I don’t know the whole story yet cause it’s still in shop right now
I love second hand stories.
Russell C I’m sure you do 👍🏻
Because the transmission is terrible.
@@homeofthemad3044 Better than your Yaris anyway!
Where I live there’s a lot of people either driving 2016 Ford explorers or 2017 Ford explorers and police here do drive the same suvs sometimes if I drive or when my mom drive I could barely tell if it’s the police explorers passing by or civilian Ford explorers because both police and civilian Ford suvs have the same led headlights.
The police interceptor version of the Explorer doesn't have roof rails (because they'd block the light bar). So if you see an explorer with roof rails, it's civilian. If you see an explorer with a completely flat roof, 95% chance its an undercover cop, otherwise its and explorer that used to be a cop car but isn't anymore. That's how you can tell them apart. :)
It’s pretty easy to tell. Even if they don’t have exterior light bars (meaning they are “undercover”), police’s explorers have push bar in the front, spotlight on the driver’s side, small black steel wheels, and interior light bars visible on the top of the rear window. If you catch an Explorer with some or all of these features, it’s 95% a cop.
A nice review, Lyn... in spite of the glitchy transmission issue you mentioned. Your new glasses also look nice on you.
Is it just me or it's getting crazier out there 😆
The tablet touchscreen stuff will look dated really quickly...Suv's and pickups are getting really expensive. I'm going back to getting a car...
drjones why do you think it will look dated quickly? What’s going to replace it then?
@@ALMX5DP I mean the design itself. Like how certain interior designs don't hold up over time. This design looks like an afterthought; like they literally just stuck an iPad on the dash an said; "here you go!' The tech part itself is important of course, I guess in time, they will find a more natural way to integrate it to the interior.
drjones could be, but I don’t know if anyone can predict what designs will and will not hold up over time. Quality and feel play a role too, and like you mentioned the tech piece.
fortunately Ford allows you to update the touchscreen using a USB stick. it probably won't work as well as they say, but at least they're trying
Drove one a week ago. Ford is definitely putting the sport in sport utility but the price is just unreasonable
I am praying that this is a legitimate review with pros and cons, unbiased and...
*Ford commercial before video*
Nevermind...
Hello kbb, I feel that calling and highlighting a “push button start” a premium feature is no longer relevant. It’s standard expectation for the past few years. Even inexpensive cars have had them for a while now. Focus on car dynamics, practicality ergonomics etc.
Rohan Bhatnagar facts
Oh yeah and the earth is round 😁. That’s a fact too.
This was just a long commercial for the Explorer.
Update, watched the video and it was a great review and I loved the police references! I love Lyn and Micah both!😻😸😻
Its look ...so beautiful than many other competetors...wow.
Possible class action lawsuit coming for the 10 speed. Apparently the output speed sensor looses communication and the transmission gets confused. You can forget hitting those advertised MPG numbers.
I love Lyns reviews
Do police models include a "Calm Screen"?
How does it handle...and ride?
I’m in the U.K. and I’ve heard about the major issues with the transmission
Yup, it is terrible.
Completely agree with the iPad things... I love Subaru but the HUGE screen they now have? It's got me rethinking buying a new one.
Software issues galore, glad you called out the bad transmission
What's wrong with the front end
It seems strange that KBB couldn't get a ST or Platinum from Ford to review.
I think they request what model they want, and the manufacturer does their best. So my money is this is the trim they requested.
I like the internal color of light sandstone.
When it will be available in india
This is very good I am about to buy a ford explorer
The XLT can be upgraded to leatherette seats with heated rear seats. The limited has other good features like a 360 camera. Both have the smaller (better looking) screen and what I would consider even if I had the budget for the Platinum.
With 10 to 15Kusd discount it should be a solid value
The Explorer is just a likeable vehicle, looks nice and has great tech. But for my money I would have a Palisade or Telluride, especially given their better interior build quality and materials and much more reasonable pricing.
And pay sticker price or above!
Steve Hammes It’s illegal here in Ontario to markup car prices. Plus the dealers here actually have stock.
What good tech does it have? The display is shit, the transmission is shit, the computer systems are shit.
@Der Schwindel Who said they are hiring Germans?
Der Schwindel Ugh, this argument is tired. Go back to 1999.
Chevy and Ford have gotten so expensive. They are reaching premium and luxury prices. But, that's what happens when they are loaded with all of the technology.
Toyotas get expensive too now these days
Grand Cherokee police cars do exist, although they are very rare. Most are in West Virginia.
My God she is adorable. Color me smitten. Sorry Lyn if you hear this too much.
“Man I wish I was terminally ill, your boy be driving a Ford Explorer!”
Am I the only one who gets the reference?
I saw this one. Jimmy been doing some questionable things
Looking forward to this in Europe.
I love how the review stated price on low starting range model and the high end model, with main features available,
Giving a very good overview,
makes it better than other reviews,
So subscribed just after this review, thank you for your hard work,
Looking forward to other videos.
A tuned ST can easily push 500 HP and is great for drag racing a stock Mopar SRT.
To each their own but when you cross shop this with the Palisade or Telluride I mean, why would anyone choose the Explorer?
Sae Yi I recently saw a ford ad that specially targeted those two-they’re feeling the heat
Sae Yi Because the Explorer is a lot cheaper
Disney Fan no it isn’t
Why would anyone choose any of those three, all crap.
@Grande1124 Well of course they aren't. I meant that those three are crap like. As they say, you can't please them all and if you had good taste in cars, none of these qualify. No offense of course. I myself have poor judgement.
Nice vehicle, but it will be a couple years before they get all the bugs ironed out. They can start with the transmission problem
Was seriously going to buy the ST version of this but I can’t now that Lyn made that police connection. It’s obvious but for some reason I never put that together. Now it’s all I see when I look at the Explorer.
Bryan Mcgoon Yeah sadly
Yep, every time I see an Explorer I think it’s a cop.
She mentioned a hybrid, but didn’t talk about numbers on it. Also no mpg info on any of the models.
Did Ford buy a lot amount of unsold 1st Gen iPads?
Fleet sales will be available at your local Pre Own car lot in 2021
Wow, really thought that the be Highlander was expensive this almost 10 grand more than the Platinum Highlander, and after testing both, I prefer the interior and looks of the 2020 Highlander
Also Highlander will be worth a lot of money down the road..... Explorer, not so much...
Highlander is a transverse layout bull shit
@@benjaminlutseng lmao you have posted this same comment again and again. Who gives a shit? It’s a family SUV, not a sports car.
Damn you have cars cheap in America! In EU there is only a hybrid model and it costs 74000 euros. :(
Maybe in future I may buy the explorer!
Are you advertising for ford or police department
Nice car, lovely look
Why portrait mode for the screen? That does not make sense for me Ford.
Ask Tesla, Ram and Volvo too.. they do the same.
Why Ford did not use the ZF8HP automatic transmission?
It's the world's best automatic transmission.
th-cam.com/video/u0BZhs4Ugag/w-d-xo.html
Ford 3.3L V6 naturally aspirated paired with ZF8HP, this will be a reliable powertrain because of no junk turbo engine or complicated hybrid system.
Great review as always. Thanks.
If it options out to more than 52k then it is better to get the Aviator.
Why cant Ford put a V6 in instead of turbo?
I'm a Chevy man, but this right here is impressive. Good job Ford.
Good job?? The last gen version looked better on the inside and out.
@Joshua Jacob uhh yeah, I just expressed mine. Everything ok?? 😂
@Joshua Jacob Nope. Nice try though. Next time keep your assumptions to yourself. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I happen to like the previous model year better.
Have you been in micahs helicopter?
So obviously Ford has completely given up on life.
I like it more than the previous model, and Explorers are everywhere. What did they give up on?
@@user-zx8jv6wj1c Ford has given up on quality and they don't make good vehicles anymore. They shouldn't be having this as a police vehicle...
of course i'm putting 7 people plus cargo in a small-4-cylinder-engine SUV. whats the worst thing can happen?
This video lacks the Micah magic background music
This is not a review. It is a description.
I like the touchscreen🤷♂️
The Grand Cherokee is not a 3 row crossover. I cannot believe has lazily she reviews cars to not even realize she messed up.
The last time I was this early, Micah was reviewing a 2012 Mazda😹
2.3 L ECO BOOST? Are you kidding me!?
where is micah tho?
LIL SON so right. She is total garbage at her job
I like the exterior styling and interior room. But, I agree. That large center screen sticking up is pretty much the only reason I will not put this Explorer on my shopping list. It looks completely out of place.
Disappointed that the plug-in hybrid isn't offered (yet) like the Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring
I believe the manual makes some reference to it here in NA. So it may be just a matter of time.
@@rustlesee saving it for a new trim level in a future year model?
I wish that beautiful car could ship into the Philippines
The tablet is pretty much a deal breaker for me. Time to move to Durango or Acadia. Better yet switch to Charger and get a full size Yukon.
Good note about the transmission judder. Probably wouldn’t happen if they left user serviceable transmission filters and fluids alone!
Ford needs to start standardizing their equipment packages and increasing their warranties to compete with Hyundai. Other than that a review on pro-pilot assist would have made this respectable for a potential buyer. Right demographic tho..
The previous version looks like the 2020 model
Shawn g HD yeah but now it’s RWD and (hopefully) doesn’t leak CO2 in the cabin.
Isn't there a class action lawsuit against FORD regarding it's 10 speed automatics...
William Egler I haven’t heard of one, and that would likely extend to Chevy as the trans was a jointly designed effort.
Alan Bowers I thought the jointly designed transmission was the 9 speed that Chevy used but Ford didn’t, in order to design their 10 speed.
ganthc if my memory serves there was some design similarities with Chevy’s 9-speed and Ford’s 8-speed transverse transmissions. But those are separate from the longitudinal 10-speed architectures seen here which were directly codeveloped.
Oddly enough, you see very few in MN unless someone in uniform is driving. A lot of SUV's but fewer Fords, other than f150. Just an observation.
Ford explorer always sells, it will sell very well.
It’s cool
In IL, the sheriffs drive Durangos and police drive Explorers.
This girl is the best
Well maybe I'm a tacky person, but I honestly don't mind the massive tacked on ipad haha. To me, the bigger the screen the better, and it doesn't look too bad in my opinion. I would love an Explorer though, but daggum its pricey
Super nice SUV.
Classy lady reviewer & writer Great review
Is it me or does anyone else like the tablet design? The only way it could be better is if you could actually remove the tablet and use it as an actual tablet. Which car manufacturer will come out with that first?
