Ed's Buyer's Guide
The used Ford Explorer is a 3-row SUV choice for London Ontario families needing capacity and towing. Strongly recommend 2020+ models only. A 2020–2022 Explorer XLT or Limited 4WD with 40,000–70,000km typically lists $35,000–$50,000. The XLT is the value play; the Limited adds convenience features that make daily family use meaningfully easier.

Why Buyers Love the Ford Explorer
- Proper 7-passenger seating with usable third row — better than many 3-row crossovers
- Strong towing capacity for a 3-row SUV — meaningful for Ontario buyers with trailers
- 6th gen (2020+) is a major redesign improvement over the troubled 5th gen
- Available 4WD system for genuine winter and light off-road use
- Ford service network across London and all of SW Ontario
What to Watch For
- 5th gen (2011–2019) had significant transmission and carbon buildup issues — avoid or inspect very carefully
- 6th gen (2020+) exhaust fumes in cabin recall — confirm it was addressed
- Power fold third row — test all seat positions through full cycles
- 2.3L EcoBoost is solid but confirm oil change history — direct injection engines need it
- Rear HVAC controls and heated seats — test all climate zones

My honest take: avoid the 5th gen Explorer (2011–2019) and get a 6th gen (2020+) if your budget allows. The older ones had too many issues for me to recommend with confidence. The new Explorer is a genuinely solid 3-row SUV that competes with the Highlander and Pilot. I steer families toward the Limited trim — it has everything you need without the ST's aggressive tuning.
