Which Explorer Model Years Fit a $25,000 Budget?
2023 Ford Explorer — sixth-generation Explorers from 2020 on are the newest models that currently land under $25,000 at Suntrup.
The Explorer was fully redesigned for the 2020 model year on a rear-wheel-drive-based platform with optional four-wheel drive. Its standard 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder makes 300 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque and is paired with a 10-speed automatic, replacing the six-speed used in earlier models. The 2021 and 2023 Explorers above are both from this generation. The 2018 XLT is a fifth-generation model with a 3.5L V6, and its price reflects its six-figure-plus mileage.
