- 2019 Explorer Sport
My 2019 Sport is in the shop for the hood replacement. My dealer gave me a new 2020 Explorer XLT. I appreciate it's not as "decorated" as my 2019 Sport inside. But, wow, was I underwhelmed by the engine. It responds like a rubber band. It sounds terrible, too - like a wimpy 4 cylinder. Had this odd whine and was really....just bad. The interior was nice, but I wouldn't say it was a "big" upgrade from the 2019. That's in the eyes of the beholder, I appreciate. Just didn't seem that much better to me.
I debated buying a 2020 when I got the 2019 Sport. I didn't want to pay the "extra" for the ST. I'm real glad I did what I did and got the 2019 Sport. I sure hope they expand the engine options by the time I wear out the 2019 - that 4 cylinder turbo is just not acceptable to me. Yuk.
