How much does the 2014 Ford Explorer cost?

Prices have softened 7.23% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,855 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2014 Ford Explorer a good car?

Yes — the 4.5/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners commonly praise its comfort, space, and performance, and they also call out its stylish design and value for money. For you, that makes it a sensible fit if you want a family-oriented midsize SUV with a practical, well-equipped feel. With 30.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Ford Explorer reliable?

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

Owner feedback also points to a dependable everyday experience for many shoppers, with comfort and performance coming through as recurring strengths. At the same time, some owners mention maintenance costs and concerns with specific high-mileage models, so you should expect ownership costs to vary by condition and service history. For used buyers, that means the biggest long-term risk is choosing a poorly maintained example rather than the model itself.

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

At 61.9% 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 separate clean examples from those with prior damage. After that, prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-mileage listings where wear and maintenance gaps matter more. Focus on overall condition, service records, and signs of deferred upkeep, since those factors will matter more than cosmetic appeal alone.

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 with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,855 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.23% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 61.9% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $9,319, 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 $9,337 sits slightly below last year's $10,065.

That softer pricing suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable entry point. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the vehicle has been maintained. If you keep the SUV clean, documented, and mechanically sound, you’ll be in a better position when it’s time to sell.

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:

• 30.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 61.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.23% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line:

If you want a well-equipped, family-friendly Explorer and you’re comfortable shopping carefully, the 2014 is a reasonable primary choice because it combines broad availability, softer pricing, and solid owner satisfaction. If your priority is stretching your budget as far as possible, you can also consider nearby years and compare condition, accident history, and asking price closely before deciding.
