Car financing: the 2019 Ford Explorer
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2019 Ford Explorer for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. This page sets out the 2019 Ford Explorer for buyers, in plain words.
What to check on the Explorer
NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. NHTSA has 299 owner complaints on file, mostly about structure, unknown or other and power train. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
It runs 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.
Plan on about 32 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.8 L/100 km. 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.
Space, size and seats
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who rents the Explorer
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Try the Explorer on your commute, then decide. Rent the Explorer first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.74 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $167.40 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
