Before you sign for the Explorer

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 21 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, unknown or other and forward collision avoidance; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

It uses the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo and rear-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

The combined figure, 9.8 L/100 km, means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $151.90 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

The higher seat of a full-size SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Rent it for a week first

If the Explorer is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
