CarGurus Analysis: 2021 Ford Explorer
Summary
With 181 currently listed for sale and an average price of $27,314 CAD, 26.5% of 2021 Ford Explorer listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favourably reviewed: Owners rated the 2021 Ford Explorer 5 / 5 stars.
Why it stands out
The 2021 Ford Explorer stands out as a midsize SUV that has moved well beyond its rugged origins into a more polished, rear-wheel-drive-based package. It rides on the CD6 platform shared only with the Lincoln Aviator, and that layout gives it better handling than any previous Explorer without sacrificing smoothness or refinement. For buyers who want something more engaging than the typical family hauler, that chassis change is a major part of its appeal.
Performance is another defining trait. The 2021 Ford Explorer offers a 300-horsepower 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder, while higher-output versions bring a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with twin turbochargers that makes 365 horsepower and 380 lb-ft of torque, and the ST raises output to 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. It was also available as a hybrid from 2020 to 2023, combining a 3.3-litre hybrid V6 with a 1.5-kWh battery pack and electric motor for 318 horsepower and a combined fuel consumption figure of 9.6 litres per 100 kilometres. That breadth of powertrain choice helps the Explorer cover a wide range of buyer priorities, from efficiency to outright pace.
The 2021 Ford Explorer is also well equipped for everyday family use. Even the XLT 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. The main trade-offs are that some of the more advanced convenience features are reserved for higher trims and option packages, and owners may still notice concerns about fuel economy and ride comfort.

With 31.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, there is still some room to shop selectively.
Is the 2021 Ford Explorer reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The owner feedback also highlights a dependable-feeling ownership experience, with praise for a trouble-free mix of comfort, performance, and useful technology. That said, used buyers should still pay close attention to maintenance history and how the vehicle has aged, since long-term ownership risk is always tied to prior care and usage.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Ford Explorer?
It looks like a moderate, selective buyer's market, so you can afford to compare listings carefully before committing.
- Deal availability: 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 543 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 20.29% compared with last year.
If you find a listing below $29,221 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2021 Ford Explorer's resale value?
The current average of $29,283 CAD sits slightly below last year's $36,739 CAD.
That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can make the Explorer easier to buy now but may also limit upside for a future seller. If you purchase at a competitive price, you may reduce the risk of taking a bigger depreciation hit later. Strong demand can still support resale, especially when the vehicle has broad appeal and a good reputation with owners.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2021 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2021 if:
- 31.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 20.29% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $26,782 CAD, the 2020 costs less than the current year's $29,283 CAD average.
- It offers a roomy cabin with a modern, performance-oriented feel.
Consider the 2022 if:
- At $35,758 CAD, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $29,283 CAD average.
- It adds more trim choice and a broader family-focused package.
The bottom line: The 2021 is the best all-around pick if you want strong owner satisfaction, a lower average price than the 2022, and a market with decent deal availability. If your priority is saving money first, the 2020 is the better value path; if you want to spend more for a newer-feeling alternative, the 2022 is the natural step up.
