Is the 2023 Ford Explorer a good car?

Yes — 4.75/5 is a strong user rating for the 2023 Ford Explorer. It stands out as a midsize SUV that has moved into a more polished, more premium role, while its rear-wheel-drive bias helps it handle better than earlier Explorers without giving up smoothness. That makes it especially appealing if you want a family SUV that feels more engaging to drive, and its broad range of powertrains and trims gives you flexibility to match your needs. With 30.9% of listings marked as good or great deals, you also have a decent chance of finding a competitive offer.

Is the 2023 Ford Explorer reliable?

Owners rate it 4.75/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The 2023 Explorer’s appeal comes from its refined chassis, broad equipment list, and practical three-row layout, all of which support everyday usability. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that higher trims and option packages can push you into more expensive territory if you want the best features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Ford Explorer?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully without feeling rushed.

• Deal availability: 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 460 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.81% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $38,387 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Ford Explorer's resale value?

The current average of $38,387 CAD sits slightly below last year's $44,539 CAD.

That price movement suggests the market has become more favourable for buyers, which can make resale a little more competitive for future sellers. If you buy at today’s average, you may have less immediate downside than someone who bought when prices were higher. The good news is that the Explorer’s broad appeal and strong equipment list should help it stay relevant with shoppers looking for a practical three-row SUV.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.75/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2023 Ford Explorer or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 30.9% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.81% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.75/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $35,510 CAD, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $38,387 CAD average.
• It offers a broad trim range with strong space and practicality.

The bottom line: If you want the newer year with softer pricing and strong shopper appeal, the 2023 is the better default choice. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2022 is the smarter path to compare first.
