CarGurus recommends the 2021 Ford Explorer
Summary
With 280 currently listed for sale near San Francisco, CA and an average price of $28,936.00, 22.1% of 2021 Ford Explorers for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Ford Explorer 5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it a 7.5 / 10.
100.0% of 2021 Explorer models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Ford Explorer remains distinctive because it helped define the midsize SUV segment and, by 2021, had evolved into a three-row SUV in its sixth generation. It also stands out for offering multiple powertrain options, along with handling that is described as great. For buyers who want a family hauler with a roomy third row, that combination gives the Explorer a broad appeal.
There are tradeoffs, though. The interior materials are described as feeling cheap, and advanced safety features are not standard. The 2021 Ford Explorer is also noted as reaching a maximum of 4,700 pounds, and its price is described as starting north of $50,000 for the Explorer Platinum trim level.
