We’re in love with this new car

We couldn’t be happier with this beautiful car. The Ford Explorer is perfect for our family of four. Our two kids now have plenty of room and we still have room for Friends.

A fun new ride

This SUV is quiet, comfortable, and FAST. It has a lot of extras but I mostly bought it for the smooth ride. The 20 mpg/ 27 mpg is an added benefit.

Overpriced piece of junk

I bought the new 2020 explorer as a family car. Worst mistake ever. Looks nice on the outside but drives horribly. The transmission jerks and lunges while driving. It is scary and completely unsafe. No sensors seem to work on my vehicle correctly. It blew the intercooler and never threw a code. The seats are cheap and extremely uncomfortable compared to the real leather I traded in. The car consistently has electronic issues. The dealerships will just reset the computer and send you on your way. The gas mileage is a complete lie! I get 18MPG my 6.0 V8 and my 6cyl. got better gas mileage the ride is loud and bumpy. The interior is very cheap.

Most comfortable car we've owned!

My wife and I traded in our 2017 ford explorer for a new 2020 4x4 xlt its beautiful inside and out plenty of room comfortable and classy ! It may take a minute to figure out all the options and technology but we love it and have had nothing but good luck with several ford vehicles in the past ! Love it !

Amazing new design and features of the new EXPLORE

The new EXPLORER is a great car. I had an EDGE and I used then previous EXPLORER. The big difference, the interior of the car. It´s outstanding! Nice, easy to handle and drive. The engine is also a very powerful one.
