CarGurus Analysis: 2024 Ford Explorer
Summary
With 9,725 currently listed for sale and an average price of $33,813, 34.7% of 2024 Ford Explorer listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2024 Ford Explorer 3 / 5 stars.
89.8% of 2024 Ford Explorer listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2024 Ford Explorer stands out as a midsize SUV that has moved well beyond its rugged origins and into a more premium, car-like role. It rides on the CD6 platform, which it shares only with the Lincoln Aviator, and its rear-wheel-drive bias gives it better handling than any previous Explorer without sacrificing smoothness or refinement. For buyers who want a family SUV that still feels lively, that chassis setup is a major part of the appeal.
Powertrain choices are another strength. The standard 300-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is described as surprisingly adept, while the available 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 delivers 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, giving V6-equipped versions ST-level power across the range. The Explorer was also available as a hybrid from 2020 to 2023, and that setup produced 318 horsepower and a combined 27 mpg, though Ford later eliminated the option. The result is an SUV that can be quick, efficient, or both, depending on configuration.
The 2024 Explorer also brings a strong equipment list. Even base models include push-button start, keyless entry, and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assistance features such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, and forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. All new Explorers get 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. The cabin can seat up to seven, though many buyers choose the six-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs.
There are a few tradeoffs. The latest Explorers are described as the nicest to drive of all the generations, but the initial 2020 models had a relatively high number of gremlins, and the current Explorer still does not feel as premium inside as its price suggests. Even so, for shoppers who want a roomy, well-equipped midsize SUV with strong performance and modern tech, the 2024 Ford Explorer makes a compelling case.

How much does the 2024 Ford Explorer cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $33,794 |
| Year-Round Low | $32,957 |
| Year-Round High | $35,643 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $33,930 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −0.40% |
Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.
There are 9,687 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare before you buy.
Is the 2024 Ford Explorer a good car?
The 2024 Ford Explorer earns a balanced case as a family SUV with a 3/5 user rating, and its appeal comes from a roomy, well-equipped layout that still feels lively on the road. It rides on a rear-wheel-drive-biased platform, which helps it handle better than earlier Explorers without giving up smoothness or refinement, and it offers strong performance and modern tech for everyday use. For you, that means it fits especially well if you want a midsize SUV that can handle family duty without feeling dull. Good and great deals account for 35.4% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2024 Ford Explorer reliable?
The 2024 Ford Explorer is described as having a better reliability record than its predecessors, and the latest generation is also presented as the nicest to drive of all the generations. Even so, the model’s history includes early gremlins in the initial 2020 models, and the cabin still does not feel as premium as its price suggests. For used buyers, that means long-term ownership risk is more about careful condition screening than avoiding the model outright.
What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Ford Explorer?
Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
You should still check the history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the vehicle has higher mileage or a complex option set. Focus on overall condition, signs of prior repairs, and whether the cabin and electronics have been maintained well, since those details matter most in a used family SUV.
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 listings.
- Deal availability: 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 9,687 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 89.7% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $32,957, 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 $33,794 sits slightly below last year's $33,930.
That small decline suggests the Explorer has been holding value fairly steadily rather than swinging sharply. If you plan to sell later, that kind of pricing pattern can help you set realistic expectations and avoid overestimating what the market will pay. It also means a well-kept example with strong history and desirable equipment should remain easier to position competitively.
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:
- 35.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
Consider the 2025 if:
- At $39,125, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $33,794 average.
- It adds updated infotainment, improved interior quality, and a simplified trim lineup.
The bottom line:
Choose the 2024 if you want a more affordable Explorer with strong equipment and a stable used market. If you want the newer interior and technology upgrades, the 2025 is the better long-term pick, but price-sensitive buyers will likely find better value in the 2024.
