Coming Soon
Ford Explorer 6th Generation
2020–2026 · U625 · suv
Sixth-gen Explorer (U625) on the rear-drive-based CD6 platform — same architecture as the Lincoln Aviator. Engines: 2.3L EcoBoost I4 (300hp), 3.0L EcoBoost V6 (365hp Platinum / 400hp ST), 3.3L hybrid V6 (318hp combined). 10R60 10-speed automatic. Three-row, 6 or 7-passenger. Police Interceptor Utility continues. Major refresh for 2025 with new front fascia and SYNC 4.
Watch out: Rough 2020 launch quality was the story — multiple recalls / TSBs at launch (2020 model alone had ~10 recalls including rear suspension toe link, wiring harness, and seatback frames). 2020-2022 ST owners report 3.0L EcoBoost intake-valve cracking covered under NHTSA recall 24V-635 (same as Bronco/F-150). 10R60 software updates continued through 2022. Quality stabilized 2023+.
Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
