Thinking of buying the 2022 Ford Explorer?
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2022 Ford Explorer before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 2022 Ford Explorer? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
There are 25 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 272 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
Power: the 3.3L 6-cylinder hybrid; drive: rear-wheel drive. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Fuel use is rated 8.9 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 27 litres. Expect about $13.80 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height.
A good match for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Drive it on your own roads
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Explorer answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $138 at our price setting.
Picking a year and a trim
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
When you know your dates
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
