How much does the 2014 Ford Explorer cost?

Prices have softened 6.35% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,832 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing options.

Is the 2014 Ford Explorer a good car?

Yes — the 2014 Ford Explorer earns a 4.5/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise its comfort, space, and performance, and they also like its stylish design and value for money. That makes it a good fit if you want a family-friendly midsize SUV with a roomy cabin and a more car-like driving character. With 28.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price.

Is the 2014 Ford Explorer reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that many drivers find dependable in everyday use, especially when it comes to comfort and performance. At the same time, some owners mention maintenance costs and concerns with specific high-mileage examples, so condition matters a lot on the used market. For long-term ownership, you should be especially careful about service history and how the vehicle was maintained.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Ford Explorer?

At 61.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report so you can confirm accident records, title status, and service history before you go any further. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the vehicle has higher mileage or signs of heavy family use. Focus on overall condition, maintenance documentation, and any evidence of deferred repairs, since those factors matter more than a simple clean appearance.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Ford Explorer?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.

• Deal availability: 28.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,832 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.35% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $9,170, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Ford Explorer's resale value?

The current average of $9,170 sits slightly below last year's $9,792.

That price movement suggests the market has softened, which can limit upside if you plan to sell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the vehicle in good condition, you may be able to offset some of that depreciation. Strong maintenance records and clean history will matter more if you want to protect value later.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2014 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2014 if:

• 28.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.5% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.35% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: The 2014 is a smart primary choice if you want a well-liked Explorer with strong owner satisfaction, decent deal availability, and a softer price trend. If you are especially price-sensitive, you can also compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the lowest sticker price.
