CarGurus Analysis: 2024 Ford Explorer
Summary
With 375 currently listed for sale near Richmond, VA and an average price of $34,807.00, 53.6% of 2024 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2024 Ford Explorer 3 / 5 stars.
100.0% of 2024 Explorer models 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 roots. In its current form, it rides on the CD6 platform shared only with the Lincoln Aviator, and its rear-wheel-drive bias gives it better handling than any previous Explorer without sacrificing smoothness or refinement. That makes it feel more composed on the road than older versions of the nameplate, while available four-wheel drive adds a Terrain Management System that can monitor wheelspin and send torque where it’s needed.
Performance is another major part of the Explorer’s appeal. The standard 300-horsepower 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is described as surprisingly capable, and the 10-speed automatic helps keep it in the right rev range. Buyers who want more muscle can look to the optional 3.0L EcoBoost V6, which develops 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque, making this SUV genuinely fun to drive. The Explorer was also available as a hybrid from 2020 to 2023, and that setup delivered 318 horsepower and a combined 27 mpg, though Ford later eliminated the option.
The 2024 Explorer also brings a strong mix of convenience and technology. Even the base trim includes push-button start, keyless entry, and the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assistance features, while 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. It can seat up to seven, though many buyers will prefer the six-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs. The main drawback is that the nicest versions cost more, and the Explorer’s initial 2020 models had a relatively high number of gremlins, but the latest generation is still the nicest to drive and has a better reliability record than its predecessors.

How much does the 2024 Ford Explorer cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $34,930 |
| Year-Round Low | $33,138.78 |
| Year-Round High | $35,728.88 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $34,791 |

Prices have held steady compared to this time last year, signaling a stable and predictable market for this model year.
There are 9,644 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare across trims and conditions.
If you find a listing below $33,138.78, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
Is the 2024 Ford Explorer a good car?
The 2024 Ford Explorer is a balanced choice if you want a midsize SUV that mixes composed road manners with strong available power and family-friendly tech. Its user rating is 3/5, and the overview points to a rear-wheel-drive-based platform, available four-wheel drive, and a cabin that comes well equipped even in base form.
That makes it a sensible fit if you value everyday usability, available performance, and a modern feature set more than outright luxury. The market also shows 33.1% 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 described as having a better reliability record than its predecessors, while also benefiting from the latest generation’s more refined driving character. The overview also notes that the initial 2020 models had a relatively high number of gremlins, which is useful context for how the platform has matured.
For used buyers, that means long-term ownership risk looks more manageable than it did early in the generation, but you should still pay close attention to maintenance history and overall condition.
What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Ford Explorer?
Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
You should still run a history report on any candidate you’re serious about, especially if the price looks unusually strong. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on electronics, drivetrain behavior, and signs of uneven wear, since those are the areas that can separate a clean example from a problem vehicle.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Ford Explorer?
This is a moderate market, so you can shop selectively without expecting every listing to be a bargain.
- Deal availability: 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 9,644 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 91.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $33,138.78, 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 $34,930 sits slightly above last year's $34,791.
That small increase suggests the Explorer has held value fairly steadily rather than swinging sharply in either direction. For a future seller, that kind of stability can be helpful because it points to a market that is still willing to pay near current levels for the right example.
If you keep mileage reasonable and maintain the vehicle well, you should be in a better position to protect resale value. Clean history and strong condition matter especially here because buyers have enough inventory to compare against.
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:
- 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Accident-free inventory is excellent at 91.6% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
Consider the 2025 if:
- At $40,759, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $34,930 average.
- It adds updated infotainment, improved interior quality, and a simplified lineup.
The bottom line: The 2024 is the better value if you want a well-equipped Explorer at a steadier price point, especially if you’re shopping with a budget in mind. Move to the 2025 if you want the newer tech and interior upgrades and are willing to pay more for them.
