How much does the 2019 Ford Explorer cost?

Prices have softened 9.81% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,802 listings available, which suggests you should have a solid range of options to compare.

Is the 2019 Ford Explorer a good car?

Yes — the 4.6/5 user rating points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners consistently praise the value for money, the powerful engine options, and the advanced features, while the Explorer’s roomy, mainstream midsize-SUV layout makes it a practical fit if you want three-row utility and a familiar name. Some owners mention seating comfort and the backup camera screen as weaker spots, so it’s best viewed as a well-liked all-rounder rather than a perfect one. With 33.1% of listings marked as good or great deals, you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Ford Explorer reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback specifically highlights reliability, and the review summary also points to a dependable ownership experience with few major complaints. That said, the broader model-year context suggests you should still expect normal used-SUV wear and verify maintenance carefully, since long-term ownership risk is always lower when the vehicle has been consistently serviced.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Ford Explorer?

At 72.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you commit, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if the listing has any accident or repair history. Focus on body condition, panel alignment, interior wear, and how well the electronics and driver-assist features work during a test drive. If a vehicle looks especially clean on paper, confirm that the condition matches the records and the asking price.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Ford Explorer?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,802 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.81% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 72.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,896, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Ford Explorer's resale value?

The current average of $16,896 sits slightly below last year's $18,734.

That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can make the Explorer easier to buy now but may also limit near-term upside if you plan to resell soon. For future sellers, the softer pricing means condition, mileage, and history will matter even more when you try to stand out. Well-kept examples should still attract attention because shoppers continue to value the Explorer’s space and familiar name.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2019 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 72.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.81% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $21,932, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $16,896 average.
• It brings an all-new chassis with more technology and hybrid and performance options.

The bottom line: If you want the better value play, the 2019 is the smarter starting point because pricing has eased and owner satisfaction is strong. If you’re willing to pay more for a newer redesign and added tech, the 2020 is the upgrade path; if you’re price-sensitive, the 2019 gives you the more compelling balance of cost and appeal.
