Used value estimate
2014 Ford Explorer value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2014 Ford Explorer in good condition with average mileage (about 150,000 miles) is worth roughly $10,300 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $9,500 to $11,100, or about $11,850 at a dealer. Note: 2014 is a flagged year for this model (2011–2017) — Water pump buried inside the engine (a $2,500+ failure that can take the engine with it), plus transmission and PTU complaints. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.

- 2011–2019 3.5L V6: internal (timing-cover) water pump failure — coolant loss, overheating, or milky oil are late-stage signs
- PTU (power transfer unit) on AWD models: fluid neglect leads to whine and failure — ask about PTU service
- 2011–2017: exhaust odor in cabin complaints — confirm any TSB work
