Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2016 Ford Explorer 4.26 / 5 stars.

Why it stands out
The 2016 Ford Explorer stands out as a roomy, family-focused midsize SUV with a strong mix of comfort and capability. In the fifth generation, it moved away from the old truck-based formula and became a crossover, which gave it a more car-like feel while still leaving it practical for everyday use. Ford also gave this generation modern infotainment through SYNC, and buyers could add conveniences such as heated and ventilated front seats, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, and other luxury touches. That combination of space, features, and a more refined driving character helps explain why it remained such a popular choice.
For 2016, the Explorer’s appeal also came from its available powertrains and safety equipment. The standard engine was a 290-horsepower 3.5-litre V6 paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, while later fifth-generation Explorers could also be found with a 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo. Safety equipment included dual front airbags, dual front-seat side-impact airbags, dual rear safety belt airbags, and side curtain head, torso, and rollover protection airbags, with optional features such as BLIS blind spot information system with rear cross traffic alert, forward-collision warning with emergency braking, automatic high beams, Roll Stability Control, electronic stability control, adaptive cruise control, active parking assist, and rain-sensing wipers. That said, fuel economy was a weak point, and the model’s reliability record was not especially strong, with 2011 through 2013 models drawing the most complaints and later fifth-generation Explorers still not ranking at the top of the class.
Even so, the 2016 Ford Explorer remained attractive because it offered a lot of vehicle for the money. It had plenty of room, towing ability, and a broad range of trims and equipment, and used examples from this generation were described as relatively affordable compared with newer SUVs. For buyers who wanted a practical three-row SUV with a comfortable ride and a long list of available features, it was easy to see the appeal, even if efficiency and long-term dependability were not its strongest traits.

Extreme scratches all over vehicle. Driver seat motor seemed to be going out, and the seat turned and slanted when you moved it forward/aft (so you were not even sitting straight when you moved it back a few inches.

Nice ride. I find it a little big and will need to get used to it after driving compact vehicles. Having said that, the explorer is well laid out and comfortable to drive. Im impressed with the exceleration and handling for a larger vehicle. This sport edition is very well equipped and checks all the boxes for features you could possibly want. Overall Im very impressed with it.

Very satisfied! Excellent smooth ride. Very roomy! I had a Chevrolet Tahoe before and so far the Ford Explorer trumps the Tahoe! Love it!

I love this car! Plenty of room and it’s not a tight squeeze at all when all 3 rows are occupied. I’m 6’4” and my head actually didn’t touch the roof in the 3rd row! The Sport model has a ton of power for towing or for zipping around traffic. I’m really impressed with this model if the Explorer, it’s exceeded my expectations!

Is the 2016 Ford Explorer a good car?
Generally — the 2016 Ford Explorer earns a 4.26/5 user rating, which points to solid owner satisfaction. Drivers commonly praise its spacious interior, smooth ride, and strong performance, and many also like its comfort and features, especially the handling and power of the Sport model. For you, that makes it a sensible fit if you want a roomy, family-focused midsize SUV with a comfortable driving character and plenty of everyday utility. 22.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals, which gives you some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2016 Ford Explorer reliable?
Owners rate it 4.26/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.
User feedback points to a vehicle that many owners find dependable enough for regular use, with praise centred on comfort, space, and overall satisfaction. At the same time, some drivers mention reliability and quality concerns, so you should pay close attention to maintenance history and condition when shopping used. For long-term ownership, that means the safest path is to prioritise well-documented examples and avoid assuming every used one will be trouble-free.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Ford Explorer?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 22.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 266 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.03% compared with last year.
If you find a listing below $14,762 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2016 Ford Explorer's resale value?
The current average of $15,260 CAD sits slightly below last year's $16,775 CAD.
That price movement suggests the market has cooled, which can make the Explorer easier to buy now but may also limit upside for a future seller if values keep easing. If you plan to resell later, the current trend means your best protection is buying well and keeping the vehicle in strong condition. A lower entry price can help offset some depreciation, especially if you choose a clean example with good service records.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.26/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2016 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2016 if:
- 22.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 9.03% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.26/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: The 2016 is a good pick if you want a roomy, comfortable, family-oriented SUV and you value a lower current price more than chasing the newest updates. If you are especially price-sensitive, the 2016 can make sense as a value play; if you want to compare across nearby years, focus on whichever example gives you the best combination of condition, history, and asking price.
