The front driver-side wiper is 22 inches, the front passenger-side wiper is 21 inches, and the rear wiper is 12 inches.
For the 2020 Ford Explorer, these sizes reflect the standard setup listed by Ford’s parts resources. Wiper sizes can vary by trim, market, or aftermarket options, so it’s a good idea to double-check your manual or confirm with a dealer or the Ford Parts catalog if you’re unsure.
Front wiper blades: sizes and options
Front wiper blades on the Explorer use two different lengths to maximize windshield coverage and clear visibility across the curved glass.
- Driver's side: 22 inches
- Passenger's side: 21 inches
The two-front-blade arrangement helps ensure full coverage across the windshield and is the commonly recommended setup for this model year.
Rear wiper blade: size and considerations
The rear window uses a shorter dedicated blade to fit the smaller, upright rear glass area.
- Rear: 12 inches
While 12 inches is widely listed as the standard size for the 2020 Explorer’s rear blade, some regional variations or aftermarket options may exist. Always verify if your vehicle was built for a non-standard configuration.
How to verify your exact size
Check the owner's manual
The manual's windshield wipers section specifies the recommended blade sizes and installed lengths for your exact vehicle configuration.
Use Ford's official parts catalog or dealer
Enter your model year, trim, or VIN in Ford’s parts catalog or ask a dealer to confirm the correct blades and part numbers for your Explorer.
Measure or compare the current blades
If you’re replacing blades yourself, you can remove the existing blades and measure them tip-to-tip to ensure you buy matching sizes, or bring the old blades to a parts counter for comparison.
Summary
For the 2020 Ford Explorer, plan for front blades of 22 inches on the driver side and 21 inches on the passenger side, plus a 12-inch rear blade. Always verify with the owner's manual or Ford’s parts catalog, as regional or trim differences may apply, and consider professional guidance if you’re unsure.
