CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Ford Explorer
overall

Summary
With 8,017 currently listed for sale and an average price of $25,000.00, 34.0% of 2021 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Ford Explorer 5 / 5 stars.
80.5% of 2021 Explorer models on CarGurus are accident free.
The 2021 Ford Explorer offers multiple powertrain options, spacious seating for seven, and a robust array of technology features including Ford’s Sync 3 infotainment system.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Ford Explorer continues to be a strong contender in the competitive three-row SUV market, showcasing a combination of performance, comfort, and luxury features that appeal to a diverse group of buyers. It boasts a maximum towing capacity of between 5,000 to 5,600 pounds, depending on the trim and options, which makes it versatile for both family trips and outdoor adventures. Additionally, its numerous engine options, including a turbocharged four-cylinder and hybrid models, allow for tailored performance to suit varying needs.
Owners have particularly praised the Explorer's spacious interior and versatile seating configurations, although the third row may not be the most comfortable for adults during extended travel. Despite its strengths, some have noted that certain interior materials feel cheap compared to rivals, and advanced safety features come as optional instead of standard. Vehicles in this segment have increasingly tougher competition, particularly from newcomers that may surpass the Explorer in areas such as cargo space and technology, but its solid reputation and multi-faceted capabilities make it a worthy choice for families.
