CarGurus Analysis: 2019 Ford Explorer

Summary
With 101 currently listed for sale and an average price of $19,884 CAD, 25.7% of 2019 Ford Explorer listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2019 Ford Explorer 4.6 / 5 stars.
Why it stands out
The 2019 Ford Explorer stands out as a roomy, family-friendly SUV that still offers a more engaging drive than many buyers might expect. It rides on Ford’s CD6 platform with a rear-wheel drive bias, and that layout gives it better handling than any previous Explorer, without sacrificing smoothness or refinement. It is also available with a broad range of powertrains, including a 300-horsepower 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder, an optional 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with twin turbochargers that develops 365 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, and an ST version with 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. That mix makes the 2019 Explorer appealing to shoppers who want a practical SUV that can still feel genuinely quick.
It is also well equipped for everyday use. Even the XLT trim includes push-button start, keyless entry, and Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assistance features such as automatic high beams, blind-spot information system with cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping alert, lane-keeping assist, forward automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and forward collision warnings. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and at least four USB ports are standard, and seating can be configured for up to seven passengers or for six with second-row captain’s chairs. The Explorer was also available as a hybrid from 2020 to 2023, but that does not apply to the 2019 model year.
For buyers considering a used example, the 2019 Explorer has a better reliability record than its predecessors and is not horribly expensive used. At the same time, it is not the most premium-feeling SUV in its class, and some competitors offer more space, better fuel economy, or stronger off-road ability. Owner feedback also points to a few minor drawbacks, including seating comfort and the size of the backup camera screen.

I am extremely happy with the Explorer I purchased. We have had multiple Explorers in our family and this one is my favorite. It isn’t missing anything! And it was a great value!

Really great. Lots of high tech features. Looks nice and is easy to handle. I would prefer the ST model for even more features and power. However for now, this one fit our budget.

The 19’ Ford Explorer is the last year of the platform from 11’-19’. Overall it’s a good design with good torque on the 3.5 liter eco boost. Have test driven many to give the platform a 5⭐️

Is the 2019 Ford Explorer a good car?
Yes — owners rate it 4.6/5, which points to strong overall satisfaction. Reviewers commonly praise its value for money, powerful engine options, and advanced features, and the overview frames it as a roomy, family-friendly SUV that still feels engaging to drive. That makes it a sensible fit if you want a practical three-row SUV with a more lively character than many rivals. With 34.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you also have a decent chance of finding a competitive price.
Is the 2019 Ford Explorer reliable?
Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The review summary specifically highlights reliability, and owners also describe the vehicle as dependable and well suited to everyday use. That kind of feedback matters if you want a used SUV you can count on over the long term. For used buyers, the main ownership risk is less about outright durability and more about finding a well-kept example with no neglected wear items.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Ford Explorer?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still have room to negotiate.
- Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 359 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 20.31% compared with last year.
If you find a listing below $20,890 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2019 Ford Explorer's resale value?
The current average of $20,890 CAD sits slightly below last year's $26,214 CAD.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more affordably today. For a future seller, it also means resale expectations should be set with the current softer pricing in mind. If the market stays steady, a clean, well-optioned example should still appeal to shoppers looking for a roomy SUV with strong features and a good reputation.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2019 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2019 if:
- 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 20.31% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $26,758 CAD, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $20,890 CAD average.
- It adds an all-new chassis and more technology.
The bottom line: The 2019 is the better value play if you want a roomy, well-liked Explorer and want to keep your budget in check. If you can stretch for the 2020, you get a newer design and more tech, but price-sensitive buyers will likely find the 2019 the smarter purchase.
