| 2006 | 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic RWD |
With discounts it is very reasonably priced for what you get. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8 6-speed automatic RWD |
Lots of car for the money. |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Great value. Bad for Ford, great for us. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
With the incentives, buying this SUV felt like I was getting a huge bargain. By my 5th year of ownership, I felt like I got ripped off based on the cost to maintain this vehicle. |
| Price of the Ford Explorer: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range |
Too expensive in the market compared to more reliable trucks available like Honda Pilots. |

| 2010 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
in our price range, dealership took 29,700. 1 mile on it. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
With incentives at the time, the price was right. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
With a $7k price reduction, it was cheaper to buy new than to buy a 1 year old used Crossover with 20 to 30 k on the clock. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Cheaper than toyota for what you are getting |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
8500-10000 off |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
0% financing for 5 years. Was considering buying (with cash) from USA and importing to Canada but this and warranty issues made me buy in Canada |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Good lease rates. Compared to competition very good value for the money. |

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 273-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
deaker not willing to reduce prices-I guess because it was a new model |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 263-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
the price is a bit high but not out of control |
