The 2019 Ford Explorer for buyers

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2019 Ford Explorer for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. For anyone shopping for the 2019 Ford Explorer, here are the facts that matter.

A buyer's checks

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

Specs, explained

The powertrain to know here is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

At 10.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 32 litres of fuel. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $16.74 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,050 a year for 15,000 miles.

Who rents the Explorer

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

Space and size

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

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. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

Picking a year and a trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $167.40 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.74 in fuel.

Ready when you are

Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2019 Ford Explorer from us first.
