Ford Explorer for Sale

Drivers come to Ford for well-built American vehicles that they can trust to be safe, reliable, and powerful. There are plenty of options in Ford’s lineup to choose from, and they’re all quality vehicles with a lot to offer. But if you’re looking for a midsize SUV that has everything from style and space to a capable off-road trim, the Explorer is going to stand out above the rest.

We’re proud to offer the Ford Explorer for sale here at Pearson Ford in all of its forms. That includes a range of trim levels, from basic to off-road capable to downright luxurious, as well as both new and used options, so you can find the one that’s a perfect fit for both your driving needs and your budget. Every customer who comes to us is unique, and we know that there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution.

We don’t just want you to end up with any old vehicle. We want to make sure that you end up with a model that’s just right for you so that you’ll be satisfied with your decision for years to come. Let’s take a closer look at all that the Explorer has to offer, so you can move forward with your vehicle shopping experience with all of the information you need to succeed.

Exploring the Explorer

The Ford Explorer was first produced in 1990, so it’s been around for quite some time. Since its very first generation, it’s been perfect for families who want to be able to explore the great outdoors, as its name suggests. Its spacious interior and off-road capability pair up perfectly, giving you plenty of room to bring passengers and camping gear along for the ride as well as a tough exterior that can bring your right up to your campsite, even if the trail is a little rocky.

Of course, the Explorer has changed quite a bit over the years, trading its original boxy design for something a bit sleeker and making use of all kinds of new technologies that have been developed over the years. Alongside things like modern safety features and improved infotainment systems, the Explorer has also benefited from years of more basic improvements. Ford’s expert engineers have been working on its frame and powertrain for decades now, so you can expect the latest models to be optimized for power, efficiency, and safety.

We Have the Explorer Available, New or Used

Since the Explorer is constantly improving, it’s easy to see why many drivers opt for a new model. With a new Explorer, you’ll likely have a good selection of trim levels and other options. In fact, if we don’t have exactly what you’re looking for on our lot, we can even help you custom order an Explorer, giving you a chance to shape every detail, from aesthetic touches like color to more significant things like the powertrain. Looking at new models also gives you the option to lease so that you can either keep up with new features on the Explorer every few years or make it easy to upsize or downsize to a different Ford model if your needs change down the road.

On the other hand, buying used has its advantages. For one thing, it tends to be more affordable. If a new Explorer doesn’t work for your budget at all, then financing a pre-owned model might be the only way to get this great SUV into your garage. On the other hand, some people might opt for a used Explorer from a higher trim level rather than a new base model. Others might buy a pre-owned model in order to save the extra money for a rainy day or because shopping used is better for the environment.

Whatever your reasons, you can trust that you’re in good hands when you browse our used inventory. Every model on our lot is inspected before being available to you, and we can assure you that they have all been deemed safe and reliable. If you want to know more about the individual past of the specific models you’re looking at, you’ll be pleased to know that we provide a complimentary vehicle history report for every used vehicle we sell.

Don’t think that buying used has to mean getting an Explorer that’s several model years out of date. Thanks to short-term leases, we get plenty of newer models on our pre-owned lot. If you’re looking for something that’s as good as new but not quite as pricey as “new,” we should have no problem matching you up with a used Explorer that fits the bill.

2023 Explorer Highlights

With the 2023 Explorer, you have plenty of great options to choose from. Built for outdoor prowess, the Timberline trim offers 8.66 inches of ground clearance and steel underbody skid plates that work together to protect you from any obstacles that cross your path. Its maximum towing capacity of 5,300 lbs lets you bring a trailer or boat along for the adventure. If you’re looking for optimal performance, you can opt for the ST trim, which features quad chrome exhaust tips and a 3.0L Ecoboost Engine that can produce up to 400 horsepower. The more affordable ST-Line trim, introduced in the 2022 model year, returns for 2023 and offers goodies like ActiveX seating with bold red stitching and dual chrome exhaust tips.

For improved fuel efficiency, you can get a hybrid powertrain. The Explorer Limited Hybrid can tow up to 5,000 lbs, while the Platinum Hybrid can tow up to 5,600 lbs, so you don’t have to sacrifice power to be a bit eco-friendly. The high-end Platinum trim also offers a luxurious interior, complete with leather seating, a twin-panel moonroof, and an available Bang & Olufsen 14-speaker sound system.
