The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
5.7
7.0
6.5
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2020 Dodge Durango takes on family crossover SUVs with brute strength, and some old-school compromises. The 2020 Ford Explorer rediscovers its capable, outdoorsy side without becoming trucklike in any other respect. The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee impresses with style and performance, but lags behind in safety and fuel economy.
