CarGurus Analysis: 2018 Ford Explorer
Summary
With 238 currently listed for sale near Denver, CO and an average price of $15,289.00, 16.8% of 2018 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2018 Ford Explorer 4.74 / 5 stars.
75.6% of 2018 Explorer models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2018 Ford Explorer stands out as a roomy, family-oriented midsize SUV with a strong emphasis on comfort and performance. It offers a spacious interior and a comfortable ride, and many drivers appreciate the available heated seats and sunroof. For buyers who want an SUV that feels substantial without giving up everyday usability, that combination is a major part of its appeal.
It also benefits from the Explorer’s broader reputation for versatility. The model has long been known for offering useful passenger and cargo space, and the 2018 version continues that practical mission while adding a more premium feel than earlier Explorers. At the same time, some owners note pricing concerns and less comfort on long trips, so it is not the most effortless choice for every buyer. Even so, its blend of space, comfort, and strong performance makes it a distinctive option in the used SUV market.

Love this car!!! I feel like I'm in a tank! So safe and enjoying all the added features of this car. Only complaint would be gas mileage, but feeling safe on the roads is way more important. Had Jeeps in the past, this blows them out of the water.
