CarGurus Analysis: 2016 Ford Explorer

Summary
With 263 currently listed for sale and an average price of $15,242 CAD, 25.9% of 2016 Ford Explorer listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
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 that had already moved well beyond its truck-like roots by this point in its life. It was part of the fifth generation, which used Ford’s D4 platform and turned the Explorer into a more crossover-like vehicle with front-wheel-drive manners in most cases and all-wheel drive available. That shift helped make it more car-like to drive, while still leaving it with the space and versatility that made the nameplate so popular in the first place.
For 2016, the Explorer offered a 290-horsepower 3.5-litre V6, and buyers could also find a 2.0-litre EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder that improved combined fuel consumption to 10.2 L/100 km. The generation also brought modern infotainment through Ford’s SYNC system, plus available comforts such as heated and ventilated front seats, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, and other luxury touches. Safety equipment was a strength too, with dual front airbags, dual front-seat side-impact airbags, dual rear safety belt airbags, and side curtain head, torso, and rollover protection airbags, along with optional features such as blind spot monitoring, forward-collision warning with emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, and active parking assist.
At the same time, the 2016 Ford Explorer was not without drawbacks. The source material notes that this generation rarely ranked at the top of its class, and that it had a worse reliability record than some rivals. Fuel economy was also a weak point for the generation overall, and the 2016 model is specifically described as ranking much worse than average in reliability. Even so, its combination of space, available power, and broad feature content helps explain why it remained appealing to buyers looking for a practical, well-equipped SUV.

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 4.3/5 user rating, which points to solid owner satisfaction. Drivers most often praise its spacious interior, smooth ride, and strong performance, and many also like the comfort and features, especially the handling and power of the Sport model. For you, that makes it a sensible pick if you want a roomy, family-focused midsize SUV with broad everyday usefulness. With 26.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s also a decent amount of market value to work with.
Is the 2016 Ford Explorer reliable?
Owners rate it 4.3/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback points to a vehicle that many people find dependable in day-to-day use, with comfort and performance standing out over time. At the same time, some drivers mention reliability and quality concerns, so you should pay close attention to service records and the condition of any used example you consider. For used buyers, that means long-term ownership risk looks manageable, but only if you shop carefully and avoid neglected vehicles.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Ford Explorer?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can afford to be choosy without waiting forever for the right listing.
- Deal availability: 26.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 264 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.04% compared with last year.
If you find a listing below $14,756 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 $15,251 CAD sits slightly below last year's $16,585 CAD.
That softer pricing can be a good entry point for you as a buyer, but it also means future resale gains may be more limited if the market stays soft. If you plan to sell later, buying well matters more than usual because your eventual return will depend heavily on how much room you leave between purchase price and market average. Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.3/5, 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:
- 26.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 8.04% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.3/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
The bottom line: If you want a roomy, family-friendly SUV with strong owner satisfaction and a market that currently gives you some negotiating room, the 2016 is a reasonable primary target. If your priority is stretching your budget further, a nearby year with a lower average price may be the better secondary path, especially if you’re willing to trade some of the 2016’s market position for a cheaper entry point.
