A new Ford Explorer is more than just an SUV—it’s a mobile command center, a family shuttle, a weekend getaway machine, and a daily driver all rolled into one. Recent model years are packed with modern upgrades, like an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, hands-free liftgate, and an intuitive SYNC 4 system that keeps you connected whether you’re in downtown Springfield or cruising through the Ozarks. With seating for up to seven and available features like a twin-panel moonroof, premium B&O sound system, and multi-contour seats with massage, every ride feels like a step above the rest. And if capability is what you’re after, the Explorer delivers with available Intelligent 4WD, a Terrain Management System, and a towing capacity of up to 5,600 pounds when properly equipped.

A used Ford Explorer offers an incredible blend of reliability, features, and value—all without the new-car price tag. Whether you’re looking for a gently driven certified pre-owned model or something with a bit more mileage and an even better deal, there’s a ton to love. Many used Explorers come with the same premium features you’d find in a new one, like touchscreen navigation, heated second-row seats, a power-folding third row, and remote start. Plus, newer used models often still have part of their factory warranty or qualify for Ford Blue Advantage coverage for extra peace of mind.

Yes—versatility is where the Explorer shines. This SUV has something for just about every type of driver. Need cargo space? Fold down the rear rows, and you’ve got over 87 cubic feet to work with. Want to tow your camper for a weekend in the Mark Twain National Forest? No problem. It’s also a favorite among parents thanks to features like rear-seat safety reminders and LATCH anchors for car seats. And with available all-wheel drive and hill descent control, it’s just as comfortable off the beaten path as it is in traffic on I-44.
