How much does the 2014 Ford Explorer cost?

Prices have softened 6.02% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 1,853 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 consistently praise its comfort, space, and performance, and many also like its stylish design and value for money. For you, that makes it a practical choice if you want a family-oriented midsize SUV with a comfortable, versatile feel and broad everyday usefulness. With 30.0% 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 dependable everyday use, with many drivers describing the Explorer as comfortable and performance-friendly over time. At the same time, some owners mention maintenance costs and concerns with higher-mileage examples, so long-term ownership risk is best managed by focusing on service history and condition rather than mileage alone.

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

At 62.9% 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 or repeated claims. After that, prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on body condition, signs of repair quality, and wear that could point to harder use. Because some owners mention maintenance costs and high-mileage concerns, it also makes sense to pay close attention to service records and overall mechanical condition.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you know what you want.

• Deal availability: 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,853 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.02% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 62.9% 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 $9,344 sits slightly below last year's $9,943.

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, that also means resale performance will depend heavily on how well the vehicle is maintained and presented when it comes time to list it. Strong condition, clean history, and documented care matter more when the broader market has already moved lower.

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:

• 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 62.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.02% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

The bottom line: The 2014 is a sensible pick if you want a well-equipped, family-friendly Explorer and you can verify condition carefully. If you’re more price-sensitive, you may want to compare nearby years and focus on the cleanest, best-documented example rather than chasing the lowest sticker price alone.
