The 2021 Ford Explorer featured a powerful 2.3L EcoBoost engine, delivering impressive performance and efficiency for a midsize SUV.

Why it stands out

The Ford Explorer stands out in the midsize SUV segment thanks to its spacious three-row seating, robust engine options, and advanced safety features. Its rear-wheel drive platform enhances handling dynamics, making it a more engaging drive compared to many competitors. Additionally, the availability of a hybrid variant underscores its versatility in catering to both performance enthusiasts and those seeking improved fuel efficiency.

Other model years to consider

For those considering a Ford Explorer, the 2022 and 2023 model years stand out as solid choices. With average prices of approximately $30,603 and $33,156 respectively, both models offer high user ratings of 4.7 and 4.8 out of 5, alongside a strong availability of good deals at around 34%.

Model years to approach with caution

Approaching the Ford Explorer model years from 2000 to 2009 warrants caution due to user feedback patterns and market positioning. While several models like the 2007 and 2008 have respectable user ratings, a significant percentage of listings are categorized as not good or great deals, suggesting potential overpricing or underlying issues. Additionally, the mixed expert ratings for some years indicate variability in performance and reliability, which may impact long-term value considerations for buyers.

These recommendations are based on CarGurus' proprietary market data from December 3, 2025, CarGurus experts' opinions, and generative AI.

The heated & cooling seats are fantastic. I havent tried out all of the features yet, but I am looking forward to figuring them all out. The drive is smooth and quite. Seats are comfortable, the third row fold down easily and add so much more room for a giant Sams Club or Costco run. I feel that I got a fantastic deal for the cost and the mileage on the vehicle. I was looking at the Toyota Highlander, GMC Acadia and Jeep Cherokee, but choose the Ford Explorer for all the reasons listed above.

I absolutely love my new explorer king ranch!! It has all the bells and whistles and then some, if I could have asked for anything else it would be a bench seat in the back. But it has third row seating so it has buckets in the back.
