How much does the 2024 Ford Explorer cost?

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.

There are 9,832 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2024 Ford Explorer a good car?

The 2024 Ford Explorer is a balanced choice if you want a midsize SUV with a more engaging driving character and broad family-friendly utility. It earns a user rating of 3/5, and its appeal centers on its rear-wheel-drive-based platform, smooth refinement, flexible seating for up to seven, and a long list of standard convenience and safety features. If you want something that feels more composed than older Explorer generations and still offers strong available power, it fits that use case well. The market also shows 36.4% of listings as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Ford Explorer reliable?

The 2024 Ford Explorer is presented as a well-rounded midsize SUV with a stronger driving character than older, truck-based versions. Its current-generation platform and broad feature set support its appeal for everyday family use, and the model’s overall positioning suggests a modern, polished ownership experience. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a more complex, feature-rich SUV can bring higher repair exposure if prior maintenance has been inconsistent.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Ford Explorer?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and verify that the listing matches the seller’s claims on ownership, service, and accident history. Put inspection priority on the condition of the cabin electronics, driver-assistance features, tires, brakes, and any signs of uneven wear or prior bodywork. Because this model is often bought as a family hauler, focus on how well the interior, seating, and cargo areas have been maintained.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Ford Explorer?

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

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,832 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.8% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $32,995, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Ford Explorer's resale value?

The current average of $34,264 sits slightly above last year's $34,224.

That small increase suggests the market has stayed stable rather than swinging sharply in either direction. For a future seller, that kind of pricing pattern can be helpful because it points to predictable demand instead of a volatile resale environment. If you keep the vehicle in strong condition and maintain a clean history, you should be better positioned to preserve value.

Should I buy a 2024 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $39,664, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $34,264 average.
• It adds updated tech and a more refined cabin.

The bottom line: choose the 2024 if you want the better value and a broad pool of listings to compare. If you’re willing to pay more for newer tech and a more modern feel, the 2025 is the stronger upgrade; price-sensitive buyers should stay focused on the 2024.
