Value Your TradeUsed Ford Explorer Questions From St. Louis Families
How much is a used Ford Explorer in St. Louis?
Price follows the model year, trim, mileage and drivetrain. An older XLT costs far less than a recent Limited or Timberline with low miles. Every SUV in the feed shows its live price, and sorting by price shows you where the range starts so you can set a number before you visit.
Which used Explorer trims do you have?
We commonly carry XLT and Limited SUVs, plus Timberline and Active on newer model years, and the feed above shows what is on the lot today. Some Explorers are Gold Certified through Ford Blue Advantage. Filter by trim, or call (314) 892-2600 and we will watch for the one you want.
Where can I buy a used Ford Explorer near St. Louis?
Our store is at 7466 S Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63125, in South County. Buyers come from Webster Groves, Kirkwood, Oakville, Arnold, Fenton and the Metro East. Our Hours and Directions page has the map and hours.
Does a used Explorer really seat seven?
Most Explorers have three rows and seat up to seven, and many have a second row bench or optional captain chairs. The third row suits kids and shorter trips best. Come sit in it with your family before you decide, since legroom changes with how far the second row is slid forward.
Which Explorer engine fits a family best?
Newer Explorers offer a turbocharged four cylinder that suits most daily driving, a hybrid on some years, and a stronger V6 turbo on the ST and Platinum. Older Explorers have a 3.5 V6 or EcoBoost choices. Tell us about your commute and trips and we will show you the engines on the lot that match.
How many miles is too many on a used Explorer?
There is no single number. Service history and how the SUV was driven matter more than the odometer. Ask for the maintenance records, check the tires, brakes and transmission shifts, and have us run the vehicle history. A well kept SUV with highway miles can be a better buy than a low mileage one that sat.
Is a used Explorer all wheel drive or rear wheel drive?
Both setups exist. Explorers from the 2020 redesign onward are built on a rear wheel drive based design with all wheel drive available. Earlier ones were front wheel drive based with all wheel drive optional. Filter the feed by drivetrain and ask us which choice makes sense for St. Louis winters.
What is different about the Explorer Timberline?
Timberline is the off road minded trim, with all terrain tires, skid plates, a higher ride and extra protection underneath. It suits camping trips, gravel roads and Ozark weekends. If you stay on pavement, an XLT or Limited is usually the better value.
Can a used Explorer tow a trailer?
Many can, but the rating depends on the engine, drivetrain and whether it has the trailer tow package. The label on the driver door jamb and the Ford towing guide give the real number for that SUV, so we check them for you. It is fine for a small camper or a boat in the right setup.
What should I look at when I test drive a used Explorer?
Drive it on a highway ramp and a rough street. Listen for noises over bumps, feel how the transmission shifts, and test the heat, air conditioning and every screen and camera. Fold the seats and fit your car seats or strollers. We will pull the history report before you drive.
Do you sell certified used Explorers?
Yes. Qualifying Ford SUVs can be Gold Certified through Ford Blue Advantage, which includes a multipoint inspection and added warranty and roadside benefits that depend on the level. Ask which Explorers in the feed are certified and we will explain each one. See also our certified pre-owned page.
What does Warranty Forever cover on a used Explorer?
Qualifying used vehicles we sell carry powertrain coverage for as long as you own the vehicle, at no extra cost, as long as you follow the maintenance schedule in the agreement and keep your receipts. Ask which Explorers qualify and we will walk through it.
Can I trade in my current SUV for an Explorer?
Yes. Get a starting number with the trade value tool or the text me my trade value option, then bring the vehicle in so we can confirm it. If you still owe money, we pay it off and apply any equity to the Explorer. Bring the title or payoff information, keys and service records.
Can I bring my own car seat to test fit it?
Please do. Try the seat in the second row and, if you plan to use the third row, in the back as well. Check how easy the latch anchors are to reach and whether the seat still leaves room for the front passenger. We will help you move the seats around.
How do I finance a used Explorer with Ford Credit?
Apply online before your visit to save time. Ford Credit finances used vehicles, and our finance team also works with other lenders so you can compare. Our credit estimator gives you a look at where you stand without a hard credit pull.
Should I look at a new Explorer instead?
If you want the newest safety technology and a full factory warranty, a new one is worth a drive. If you want to spend less and still have three rows, a used Explorer fits. Our page on the new Ford Explorer shows what is available, and we can compare payments on both.
