Why Buying a Used Ford Explorer Just Makes Sense
Why Buying a Used Ford Explorer Just Makes Sense
Posted on September 15, 2025
When you choose a used Ford Explorer, you’re getting a lot more than just a lower price. Late-model Explorers offer many of the same features you’d find in a brand-new SUV, but at a fraction of the cost. From advanced safety systems to comfort features like heated seats and smart infotainment tech, a used Explorer gives you modern convenience without the new-car premium.
At Bennett Dunlop Outlet in Regina, SK we carry quality used Explorers like a 2011 XLT 4WD with a V6 engine, a 2015 Limited AWD, and even a 2017 XLT AWD with under 100,000 km on the odometer. These vehicles have already taken their initial depreciation hit, so your dollar stretches further, and your investment holds its value better over time.
Reliable, Reviewed, and Ready to Roll
Another bonus of going with a used Explorer? You get more certainty. New cars can have unexpected issues, but used vehicles have a track record. With certified pre-owned options, you also get the peace of mind of mechanical inspections and vehicle history reports. You’ll know how the previous owner treated the SUV and what kind of reliability to expect.
Whether you're after an SUV for family road trips, commuting, or weekend exploring around Saskatchewan, the Ford Explorer delivers confidence with every drive.
Practical, Powerful, and Packed with Features
Today’s Ford Explorer combines capability and comfort in a smart midsize SUV package. With seating for up to seven and strong performance numbers, it’s designed for both busy family life and adventurous weekends.
Take the 2.3-litre EcoBoost I4 engine, for example. It delivers 300 horsepower and allows for up to 5,000 lbs of towing, ideal for hauling trailers, boats, or extra gear. Fuel efficiency is just as practical, with a combined NRCan-estimated rating of 11.6 L/100 km, making it efficient for its size.
Inside, you’ll find a comfortable and flexible cabin with available ActiveX® seating, heated front-row seats, and even a heated steering wheel. You can enjoy a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat and a power liftgate for everyday convenience. And with LED taillamps and available 20-inch Carbonized Grey wheels, it stands out in both style and substance.
Tech-Smart, Safe and Sound
The Explorer isn’t just about comfort and muscle, it’s also packed with tech to help keep you safe. Ford Co-Pilot360® is standard on many trims and includes features like Blind Spot Information System, Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, and a rear-view camera.
Upgrade to Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist+ and you’ll get Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane-Centring, and even voice-activated navigation. Plus, with a large 13.2-inch touchscreen, Ford Digital Experience, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, staying connected on the road is effortless.
Strong Value in Every Model Year
Looking through our current inventory, you’ll see options for nearly every budget and preference. Our 2011 Explorer XLT 4WD has clocked 210,350 km but is still powered by a robust V6 engine ideal for drivers who want capability without the cost. The 2017 XLT AWD offers more modern features and lower mileage at 95,850 km. And the 2015 Limited AWD adds luxury touches while keeping the rugged performance of a V6 engine at 159,077 km.
These are the kinds of options that make used Ford Explorers such smart buys. Whether you need something budget-friendly or closer to fully loaded, there’s a fit for your needs.
