How much does the 2014 Ford Explorer cost?

Prices have softened 7.76% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,757 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

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 most often praise its comfort, space, and performance, and many also like its stylish design and value for money. For you, that makes it a practical fit if you want a roomy three-row SUV with everyday family use in mind rather than a more rugged off-road setup. With 29.2% 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.

The owner feedback points to a vehicle that many drivers find dependable in day-to-day use, especially when it comes to comfort and overall ownership experience. At the same time, some owners mention maintenance costs and issues with higher-mileage examples, so condition matters a lot on the used market. For you, that means a well-kept example can be a sensible buy, but long-term ownership risk rises if service history is thin or the mileage is high.

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

At 60% 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 accident records. Then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-mileage vehicles where wear and maintenance gaps can show up more clearly. Focus on overall condition, service records, and signs of deferred maintenance, since those factors matter more than a low asking price alone.

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

This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting a deep buyer’s market.

• Deal availability: 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,757 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.76% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 60.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $8,996, 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 $8,996 sits slightly below last year's $9,754.

That price movement suggests the market has softened, which can make resale timing more important if you plan to sell later. If you buy at the right price and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you may be better positioned to limit depreciation losses. A clean history and solid maintenance record should help your future asking price stand out in a crowded used-SUV market.

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:

• 29.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 60% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 7.76% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: The 2014 is a good choice if you want a roomy, well-liked Explorer and you can verify condition carefully. If you’re especially price-sensitive, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2014 still looks appealing when you find a clean, well-priced example with solid history.
