overall
Summary
With 4,235 currently listed for sale and an average price of $12,345.00, 31.3% of 2016 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 Ford Explorer 4.26 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 6.83 / 10.
71.0% of 2016 Explorer models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2016 Ford Explorer stands out because Ford refreshed the popular SUV for the year by updating the styling, upgrading the available features, offering a new and more efficient engine option, and adding a new Platinum luxury trim level. Those changes are presented as making the 2016 Explorer the best one yet, which gives this model year a clear appeal for buyers who want a more polished and better-equipped version of the Explorer formula.
At the same time, the 2016 Explorer is not without drawbacks. Ford did not fix one of the crossover SUV’s only real flaws, which makes it hard to recommend despite the improvements. Owner feedback also points to a spacious interior, a smooth ride, and strong performance, while some drivers mention fuel efficiency concerns and missing features such as navigation.

Extreme scratches all over vehicle. Driver seat motor seemed to be going out, and the seat turned and slanted when you moved it forward/aft (so you were not even sitting straight when you moved it back a few inches.

Nice ride. I find it a little big and will need to get used to it after driving compact vehicles. Having said that, the explorer is well laid out and comfortable to drive. Im impressed with the exceleration and handling for a larger vehicle. This sport edition is very well equipped and checks all the boxes for features you could possibly want. Overall Im very impressed with it.

Very satisfied! Excellent smooth ride. Very roomy! I had a Chevrolet Tahoe before and so far the Ford Explorer trumps the Tahoe! Love it!

I love this car! Plenty of room and it’s not a tight squeeze at all when all 3 rows are occupied. I’m 6’4” and my head actually didn’t touch the roof in the 3rd row! The Sport model has a ton of power for towing or for zipping around traffic. I’m really impressed with this model if the Explorer, it’s exceeded my expectations!
