Edmunds: Explorer Redesign

Edmunds: “[T]he 2020 Ford Explorer represents a complete rethink of this three-row family SUV. Early Explorers were built on truck frames and were primarily driven by the rear wheels, and the outgoing model employed a front-wheel-drive layout and used car-like unibody construction. The all-new 2020 model combines the best elements of each.”

Indeed, the Ford Explorer redesign garnered high praise from drivers like you in the Columbia area and auto critics alike. Highlights include a return to rear-wheel drive, which benefits towing, as well as a 10-speed automatic transmission. That’s not to mention the addition of a hybrid model with a gas-electric drivetrain setup.

Car and Driver: Explorer Interior

Car and Driver: “The new car's seating position is far more natural, and outward vision is improved. ...We found the first two rows to be more pleasant than before. Even in lower trim levels, the door panels and dashboard use mostly soft-touch materials and everything fits together well enough.”

Seating within the Ford Explorer is truly a highlight of this three-row SUV. There’s more than enough room for you and your passengers to comfortably stretch out as you drive around Irmo, and cargo capacity maxes out at 87.8 cubic feet for when you need to load up on gear for a weekend getaway.

Cars.com: Explorer Technology

Cars.com: “As expected of a redesigned vehicle, the Explorer’s technology offerings are solid. …[M]uch of the hype surrounding the Explorer’s redesign is its fancy new screen: a 10.1-inch, vertically oriented touchscreen that’s optional on ST and Platinum models.”

There’s no question that the technology installed in the 2020 Explorer is revolutionizing the way drivers like you get around Chapin. As the 2020 Ford Explorer review from Cars.com mentions, a 10.1-inch touchscreen is now available with the Explorer to go along with the Ford SYNC® infotainment system. The FordPass Connect™ 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot is another technology offering that proves quite popular.
