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.

What to check before you pay

  • 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
