CarGurus Analysis: 2023 Ford Explorer

Summary
With 599 currently listed for sale near Marietta, GA and an average price of $30,727, 29.2% of 2023 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2023 Ford Explorer 4.75 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2023 Explorer models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2023 Ford Explorer stands out as a midsize SUV that blends rear-wheel-drive-based handling with family-hauling practicality. Ford’s CD6 platform gives it a more engaging driving character than earlier Explorers, and the available four-wheel-drive system adds a Terrain Management System that helps direct torque to the wheels with traction. Even the base 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is described as surprisingly capable, while the optional twin-turbo 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 gives the Explorer genuinely quick performance.
For shoppers who want efficiency, the 2023 model also benefits from the hybrid powertrain that was available from 2020 to 2023. That setup pairs a 3.3-liter hybrid V6 with a 1.5-kWh battery pack and electric motor, producing 318 horsepower and a combined 27 mpg. Inside, the Explorer is well equipped, with push-button start, keyless entry, Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assistance features, a Wi-Fi hotspot, a 13.2-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, and two USB ports. Seating for up to seven gives it the versatility many buyers want, though most owners choose the six-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs.
The 2023 Ford Explorer is also appealing because it has a better reliability record than its predecessors, and used prices are described as reasonable. At the same time, the source notes that the initial 2020 models had a relatively high number of gremlins, so buyers should still pay attention to condition and maintenance history. Overall, the 2023 Explorer’s mix of strong performance, available hybrid efficiency, modern tech, and broad seating flexibility makes it one of the more well-rounded versions of the nameplate.

I absolutely love my new explorer king ranch!! It has all the bells and whistles and then some, if I could have asked for anything else it would be a bench seat in the back. But it has third row seating so it has buckets in the back.

| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $31,622 |
| Year-Round Low | $31,622 |
| Year-Round High | $33,623 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $33,620 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −5.94% |
Prices have softened 5.94% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 9,594 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.
Is the 2023 Ford Explorer a good car?
Yes — 4.75/5 is a strong user rating for this model year. The 2023 Explorer stands out as a midsize SUV that blends rear-wheel-drive-based handling with family-hauling practicality, and it offers a more engaging driving character than earlier Explorers. You also get broad usefulness from available four-wheel drive, a capable base engine, an optional quick twin-turbo V6, and a hybrid setup for shoppers who want efficiency. Its mix of performance, modern tech, and seating flexibility makes it a well-rounded choice for families and commuters alike.
32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so you still have room to shop selectively.
Is the 2023 Ford Explorer reliable?
Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2023 Explorer is described as having a better reliability record than its predecessors, which is encouraging if you want a used three-row SUV with modern features. The overview also notes that the initial 2020 models had a relatively high number of gremlins, so this later version benefits from being further along in the model cycle.
For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is buying a neglected example, so condition and maintenance history matter.
What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Ford Explorer?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still confirm the vehicle’s history report and look closely at maintenance records, especially if the listing price seems unusually attractive. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the drivetrain, electronics, and interior condition so you can catch signs of wear or deferred upkeep. Because this model year offers a lot of tech and powertrain variety, a careful condition check matters more than a quick glance at the odometer.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Ford Explorer?
This is a moderate market, so you can be selective without expecting deep bargain-bin pricing.
- Deal availability: 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 9,594 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.94% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 88.8% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $31,622, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2023 Ford Explorer's resale value?
The current average of $31,622 sits slightly below last year's $33,620.
That softer pricing can help you buy more confidently now, but it also means future resale values may depend heavily on how well you maintain the vehicle. If you keep mileage reasonable and preserve condition, you should be in a better position when it comes time to sell. A clean history and strong equipment mix can help your listing stand out in a crowded market.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2023 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2023 if:
- 32.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 88.8% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.94% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $27,734, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $31,622 average.
- It offers broad trim coverage and strong family-focused versatility.
The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced buy, the 2023 is the stronger pick thanks to its softer pricing, solid inventory, and strong satisfaction signal. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2022 is the better value path, especially if you find one in excellent condition.
