About the Ford Explorer

The Explorer is Ford’s best-selling three-row SUV. It’s a favourite in Nigeria for family use, and it’s also widely used by the police in the US (the Police Interceptor Utility), so you may see ex-police units for sale.

  • Engines: 3.5L V6 (2011–2019), 2.3L EcoBoost turbo, 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (ST and Platinum).
  • Seats: six or seven.
  • Drive: front-wheel drive (2011–2019 base), rear-wheel drive or AWD (2020+).
  • Fuel economy: about 7–9 km per litre.

Common Explorer Problems

  • 2011–2019: internal water-pump failure on the 3.5L V6; exhaust fumes entering the cabin on some models.
  • 2020–2021: early-build quality issues and recalls; check that recall work was done.
  • Check ex-police units carefully: high idle hours and hard use.
