Why it stands out

The 2019 Ford Explorer stands out as the final year of the fifth-generation model, a version that moved the Explorer away from its truck-like roots and into crossover territory. It was based on Ford’s D4 platform, which also underpinned the Ford Taurus, Ford Freestyle, Mercury Montego, Lincoln MKS, and Ford Flex, and it made the Explorer act more like a front-wheel drive sedan in most cases, with all-wheel drive available as a side benefit. That shift gave it a more car-like character than earlier Explorers, but it also meant the model was no longer the rugged, traditional SUV some buyers might expect.

For 2019, the Explorer offered a 290 horsepower 3.5-litre V6 with a six-speed automatic transmission, and later fifth-generation versions could also be found with a 2.0-litre EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder or a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo. Safety and convenience equipment were a strong part of its appeal, with available BLIS blind spot information system with rear cross traffic alert, forward-collision warning with emergency braking, automatic high beams, Roll Stability Control, electronic stability control, adaptive cruise control, active parking assist, and rain-sensing wipers. Buyers could also get Ford’s SYNC infotainment system, heated and ventilated front seats, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, while AWD versions included hill descent control, hill descent assist, and a terrain mode system with four different settings.

The 2019 Ford Explorer also appealed because it was practical and widely configurable. It could seat up to seven thanks to its three-row layout, and many buyers chose a six-passenger arrangement with second-row captain’s chairs. At the same time, it was not the class leader in every respect: the source notes that it rarely ranked at the top of its class, that its reliability record was only average or below average, and that 2011 through 2013 models were especially troublesome. Even so, later fifth-generation Explorers are described as having the fewest problems and the most modern features, which helps explain why the 2019 model remains attractive to used buyers looking for a roomy, well-equipped SUV with strong engine choices.
