How much does the 2019 Ford Explorer cost?

Prices have softened 9.94% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,716 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for comparison shopping.

Is the 2019 Ford Explorer a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Ford Explorer earns a 4.6/5 user rating, which points to strong owner satisfaction. Owners commonly praise its value for money, powerful engine options, and advanced features. In practical terms, that makes it a good fit if you want a roomy, family-oriented midsize SUV with seating for up to seven and everyday versatility. 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2019 Ford Explorer reliable?

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

Owners describe it as reliable and dependable, and the review summary also points to trouble-free ownership for many drivers. That said, the model year sits within a generation that had a mixed reliability record, so used buyers should think carefully about maintenance history and condition. For long-term ownership, the main risk is buying a neglected example rather than the model itself.

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

At 70% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and confirm whether any reported damage was repaired properly. Put inspection priority on body condition, panel alignment, and signs of past collision work, then verify that the electronics and comfort features operate as expected. It also helps to focus on service records, since a well-maintained example is the safest path in this market.

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: 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,716 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.94% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 70.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $16,342, 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 $16,342 sits slightly below last year's $18,147.

That softer pricing can help you buy in at a lower entry point, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, condition and documentation will matter more because buyers will compare your vehicle against a large pool of similarly priced listings. Strong maintenance records can help you stand out when it is time to trade in or list privately.

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:

• 33.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 70% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.94% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $21,168, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $16,342 average.
• It brings an all-new chassis with more technology and hybrid and high-performance powertrains.

The bottom line: The 2019 is the better value if you want a lower purchase price and strong owner satisfaction. If you want the newer redesign, more technology, and are willing to pay more, the 2020 is the better path. For price-sensitive buyers, the 2019 remains the smarter starting point.
