CarGurus Analysis: 2020 Ford Explorer
overall

Summary
With 489 currently listed for sale near Pittsburgh, PA and an average price of $22,740, 31.7% of 2020 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2020 Ford Explorer 4.71 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.17 / 10.
78.1% of 2020 Explorer models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2020 Ford Explorer stands out as a major rethink of Ford’s long-running SUV, with an all-new chassis that makes it feel bigger and faster in its sixth generation. It also brings a lot more technology than before, along with hybrid and high-performance powertrains, which broadens its appeal beyond the typical family-hauler role. That combination of space, style, and added performance helps explain why the Explorer remains such a familiar name in the American market.
At the same time, the 2020 Explorer is not without drawbacks. Its interior materials can feel cheap, and it is described as poor value for money, especially as its price climbs. Even so, its spacious cabin, stylish design, and available performance-oriented character make it distinctive for buyers who want a large SUV that tries to be both practical and more engaging than the average three-row vehicle.

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $21,932 |
| Year-Round Low | $21,932 |
| Year-Round High | $24,393 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $24,390 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −10.08% |
Prices have softened 10.08% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 6,122 listings available, which suggests you should have a decent amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2020 Ford Explorer a good car?
Yes — you’re looking at a 4.71/5 user-rated SUV with an expert rating of 7.17/10. The standout strength is Form and function at 9/10.
Owners consistently praise the power, stylish design, advanced safety features, spacious interior, and modern technology. The Explorer also comes across as fun to drive and family-friendly, which fits its role as a large three-row SUV with broad appeal.
The trade-offs are clear: the interior materials can feel cheap, and the price can climb quickly for what you get inside. That matters because this model is aimed at buyers who want space, style, and a more engaging driving character than the average family hauler.
With 33.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2020 Ford Explorer reliable?
Owners rate it 4.71/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
User feedback points to a reliable, dependable SUV that many owners feel good about keeping for the long haul. The review summary also emphasizes that people count on its power, safety, and everyday usefulness.
The expert drive notes reinforce that sense of durability by describing the chassis and powertrains as well-sorted and the driving experience as composed. Ford also includes standard maintenance-friendly ownership features like remote start and keyless entry conveniences that make day-to-day use easier.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that a higher-mileage example may already show the effects of its premium pricing and interior wear.
What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Ford Explorer?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because accident-free status is only a starting point. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on interior condition, since material quality is a known weak spot. It also makes sense to confirm that the features you want are actually present, because equipment can vary a lot by trim.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The base XLT gets the essentials, but higher trims add more comfort and tech, and the ST stands out for its more aggressive appearance and performance-oriented character.
- Powertrain: The lineup includes a 2.3-liter turbo four-cylinder, a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6, and a hybrid setup; the V6 brings the strongest performance, while the four-cylinder is the volume choice.
- Safety package: Ford Co-Pilot 360 comes standard with forward emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, auto high beams, and lane-keep assist. The Assist+ option adds adaptive cruise control with steering assist and reverse braking.
- Infotainment: An 8-inch touchscreen with Sync 3, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and 4G WiFi comes standard. A 10-inch vertical touchscreen and 12-inch digital instrument cluster are included with the Premium Technology Package on ST and Platinum models.
- Fuel efficiency: The hybrid is rated at 23 mpg city, 26 highway, and 25 combined. AWD Explorer XLT and the standard Limited deliver 20/27/23, while ST and Platinum with AWD are rated at 18/24/20.
Which 2020 Ford Explorer trim should I buy?
The 2020 Ford Explorer is offered in 4 trim levels: XLT, Limited, ST, Platinum.
Here's the short version:
- XLT: This is the entry point and the best-value starting place if you want the Explorer’s core space, standard tech, and broad utility without paying for extras you may not need.
- Limited: This trim adds more comfort and convenience, and it’s the one to consider if you want a more upscale daily driver without jumping all the way to the performance-focused models.
- ST: This is the enthusiast pick, with the strongest performance character, sharper tuning, and the most distinctive personality in the lineup.
- Platinum: Choose this if you want the most premium-feeling Explorer and are willing to pay for the top-end powertrain and available luxury-oriented equipment.
Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard, while Assist+ adds adaptive cruise control with steering assist and reverse braking.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Ford Explorer?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.
- Deal availability: 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 6,122 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.08% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 76.1% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $21,932, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2020 Ford Explorer's resale value?
The current average of $21,932 sits slightly below last year's $24,390.
That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can make the Explorer easier to buy now but less favorable if you’re planning to sell soon. If you own one, the softer pricing means you should expect more competition from similarly priced used SUVs.
The good news is that the model still has broad recognition, strong family appeal, and a large pool of shoppers looking for three-row utility. Those factors can help support demand, especially for cleaner examples with desirable equipment.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.71/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2020 Ford Explorer safe?
The 2020 Ford Explorer scored Acceptable in the IIHS small overlap driver-side crash test.
It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.
Ford Co-Pilot 360 comes standard with forward emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, auto high beams, and lane-keep assist. The Assist+ option adds adaptive cruise control with steering assist and reverse braking. A passenger front knee airbag is standard.
The IIHS result is a useful caution flag if you’re comparing this SUV against rivals with stronger crash-test showings. You should pay close attention to the exact trim and safety equipment on any used example you’re considering.
Should I buy a 2020 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2020 if:
- 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 76.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 10.08% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.71/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- It brings an all-new chassis, more technology, and available hybrid and high-performance powertrains.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $23,766, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $21,932 average.
- It keeps the sixth-generation formula and adds a more evolved three-row package.
The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2020 is the smarter buy because prices have already softened and inventory is healthy. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model year, the 2021 is the cleaner alternative, but the 2020 gives you the stronger price advantage right now.
