Should I buy a used Ford Explorer now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −11.7% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −0.12%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 37.6% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 36.5%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2022 model has the most listings at a current average price of $27,612. The Ford Explorer offers a spacious, family-friendly cabin with broad versatility and strong everyday usefulness.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The standard 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 300 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, while the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 produces 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque.
- Tech: A 13.2-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster are standard on all models, along with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity, Google Maps, Google Play Store, and SiriusXM with 360L satellite radio.
- Safety: Ford brought its BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system to the Explorer for the 2025 model year, and for 2026 it’s upgraded from version 1.2 to version 1.5, adding automated lane-change capability.
- Starting price: Pricing starts at $40,160 for the most basic Active 100A spec.
If you're buying used today, the 2022 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

CarGurus recommends the 2022 Ford Explorer
Summary
With 9,784 currently listed for sale and an average price of $27,621, 34.9% of 2022 Ford Explorer listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2022 Ford Explorer 4.92 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.5 / 10.
86.0% of 2022 Ford Explorer listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2022 Ford Explorer stands out as a midsize three-row SUV that was redesigned two years earlier and moved to a rear-drive platform. It also added an optional hybrid powertrain, giving buyers multiple powertrain options in a family-focused package. Ford’s approach was broad rather than narrow, with the Explorer offered from a value-rich base model up to a luxurious Platinum trim level, and later expanded with ST-Line, Timberline, and King Ranch trim levels.
That wide spread of trims helps explain the Explorer’s appeal: it is meant to suit a broad cross-section of buyers while still delivering plenty of cargo space and great safety ratings. Owners also tend to praise its comfort, performance, and practicality, along with the spacious interior that works well for families. The tradeoffs are worth noting, though, since the third row is cramped, the infotainment technology is outdated, and the value equation is not especially strong.
