The 2024 Ford Explorer Platinum: before you buy

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2024 Ford Explorer Platinum for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page helps you judge the 2024 Ford Explorer Platinum before you buy one anywhere.

What to check on the Explorer

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 21 complaints with NHTSA, most often about suspension, unknown or other and forward collision avoidance; 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.

Engine and fuel

Under the hood: 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.

Its combined rating is 9.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 29 litres for 300 km. Expect about $15.19 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the Explorer

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Space and size

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

Try before you buy

If the Explorer is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Try the Explorer on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

Picking a year and a trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

The cost of driving it

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $151.90 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
