The Ford Explorer: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the Ford Explorer for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Buying the Ford Explorer is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the Explorer
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 for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
What the figures tell you
Fuel use for this model year: Rating on request; heavier trucks and vans are often outside the EPA ratings.
When the Explorer makes sense
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Size and space
Being a full-size SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Explorer for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Explorer answers more than any brochure.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Talk to a person
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
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 Ford Explorer from us first.
Ask us about the Ford Explorer
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Ford Explorer for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Ford Explorer
Does CarmaCars sell the Ford Explorer?
CarmaCars rents cars and sells one now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Ford Explorer before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
