In Saudi Arabia the Ford Explorer is the three-row family SUV bought instead of a Land Cruiser when the budget will not stretch, and it is a genuinely good highway car. We have 5 listed across the Kingdom.
How much does a used Ford Explorer cost in Saudi Arabia?
A 2023 Ford Explorer averaged SAR 131,000 in our closed Saudi sales and a 2022 SAR 124,000, dropping to SAR 98,000 for a 2021. Older cars are cheap: a 2019 at SAR 69,000, a 2017 at SAR 52,000, a 2016 at SAR 50,000 and a 2015 at SAR 42,000. Current asking prices run from SAR 65,250 for a late-2010s car up to SAR 115,000 for a current-year one.
Which used Ford Explorer year should you buy?
Know where 2020 falls. That model year brought an all-new Explorer on a rear-drive-based platform — better balance, a stiffer body, a much improved cabin — replacing the 2011 to 2019 generation that was facelifted in 2016. Between SAR 50,000 and SAR 69,000 the 2016 to 2019 cars are the sensible pick; above that, buy on the 2020-onward side of the line.
Is a used Ford Explorer reliable?
Tyres, at least, are rarely the problem. Across more than 550 Ford Explorers CarSwitch has inspected in the Kingdom, only 3% show mismatched or damaged tyres, against the 6% we would expect for SUVs of the same age and mileage in the Kingdom — worth knowing, because a full set on a car this size is real money. With that off the list, put your inspection time into the cooling system and the gearbox, which is where high-mileage Explorers wear.
Ford Explorer or Toyota Fortuner?
The Toyota Fortuner costs similar money, carries prior panel repair on 38% of the ones we see and is the tougher car on bad roads; the Explorer is far more comfortable on a long highway run. Within Ford, the Ford Territory is the newer, smaller alternative at similar money, and the Ford Everest the dearer body-on-frame one.
What should you look over on a used Ford Explorer?
Read the cooling and gearbox sections of the CarSwitch inspection report before making an offer on any Ford Explorer in the Kingdom — those two decide what the car costs you after you own it.
