Why it stands out

The 2015 Ford Explorer stands out as a family-focused midsize SUV that blends space, versatility, and a more car-like driving feel than the older truck-based Explorers. By this generation, Ford had moved the Explorer onto a platform with a rear-wheel drive bias, and the result is better handling than any previous Explorer without giving up smoothness or refinement. That makes it appealing to buyers who want a large SUV that feels more composed on the road than its rugged roots might suggest.

It is also distinctive for its range of powertrains and equipment. The entry-level engine is a 300-horsepower 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder, while higher trims can bring a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with twin turbochargers that develops 365 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, and the ST raises output to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. The Explorer was also available as a hybrid from 2020 to 2023, but that does not apply to the 2015 model year. For 2015, buyers could still appreciate the Explorer’s available all-wheel drive, Terrain Management System, and a cabin that can seat up to seven, with many shoppers choosing a six-passenger layout with second-row captain’s chairs.

For a used buyer, the 2015 Explorer’s appeal is broad equipment and strong everyday usability. Even the XLT trim includes push-button start, keyless entry, and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assistance features such as blind-spot information with cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping alert, lane-keeping assist, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and forward collision warnings. At the same time, it is not perfect: the source notes that the Explorer does not feel as premium inside as its price suggests, and fuel economy is a common complaint. Still, for shoppers who want room, available performance, and a well-equipped cabin, the 2015 Explorer remains a compelling choice.
