Find Your Ford Explorer for Sale in Birmingham, Alabama

When Ford introduced the Explorer in 1991 to replace the beloved Bronco, no one imagined the Explorer would still be going strong decades later. Now in its sixth generation, the Ford Explorer is still considered one of the best midsize SUVs for large families. Let's take a closer look at this enduring three-row model and the features that set it apart.

Key Features and Technologies in Current Models

A standard turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder motor powers all but the top ST trim, which gets its grunt from a gutsy 3.0-liter V-6. Rear-wheel drive comes standard on all models, but you can opt for all-wheel drive for extra traction. The Explorer's ride is smooth, and its handling is predictable, whether you're driving in Birmingham traffic or cruising Alabama highways.

A large 12.3-inch LCD infotainment screen is the centerpiece of the Explorer's redesigned six- or seven-seater cabin. The new Ford Digital Experience lets you seamlessly access your favorite mobile apps along with Google and Amazon services. For a more relaxed driving experience, try the automated BlueCruise hands-free driving feature.

Safety Ratings and Accolades

A reputation for safety and reliability is one key reason the Explorer is known as a family-friendly vehicle. The 2025 Ford Explorer's overall five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and good crash-test and avoidance ratings from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety demonstrate this strong commitment to safety. The 2025 Explorer was also named CarBuzz's family car of the year.

Buying a Ford Explorer: New vs. Preowned

There are pros and cons to buying a new versus a pre-owned Ford Explorer for sale, so the choice often comes down to personal preferences. A new Ford Explorer has all the latest tech and safety features and is at the start of its life span, so it should need little more than routine maintenance. A comprehensive warranty also protects you from major repair bills should covered components fail.

However, buying used may be better for your long-term budget, as new cars depreciate rapidly, in addition to having a higher sticker price. If you choose one of the discontinued hybrid models, you could also pay less for insurance and even gas. A used Explorer may not come with a warranty, though, so you could face costly repair bills if anything goes wrong. Older models also don't have the most up-to-date technology that newer ones do.

Understanding the Ford Certified Preowned Program

If you're on the fence between buying new and used, a certified pre-owned (CPO) Explorer may be the best option. These are relatively recent model vehicles with low mileage and clean accident histories that pass a thorough multipoint inspection, so you can feel confident in their quality. Every CPO Ford Explorer SUV for sale also comes with a warranty and other perks for your peace of mind, including roadside assistance and a 14-day money-back guarantee.
