Ford Explorer Resale Value and Depreciation
See how much the Ford Explorer depreciates and retains its value over a 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-year timeframe.
Depreciation is the single largest factor in the cost of owning a vehicle. That means knowing how much a vehicle depreciates over time and how well it will hold its value is important. iSeeCars analyzed over 15 million vehicles to determine how much each model depreciates over a 3-, 5-, 7- and 10-year period. Typically, five years is the timeframe used to evaluate and compare depreciation across vehicles.
A new Ford Explorer depreciates 50.1 percent after five years, resulting in a resale value of $19,202. In comparison, the midsize SUV category, which the Ford Explorer belongs to, loses 46.3 percent of its value after five years. For further context, the five-year depreciation for all SUVs is 44.9 percent and for all vehicles is 41.5 percent.
If you plan to drive a new Ford Explorer for shorter or longer than five years, check the depreciation data for the other time periods. After three years, an Ford Explorer sees a depreciation of 27.5 percent with a resale value of $27,889. Its 7-year depreciation is 60.4 percent and 10-year depreciation is 73.2 percent.

Methodology
iSeeCars analyzed over 15 million vehicles to calculate the depreciation and resale value for each model after 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. The depreciation for a given model is calculated from the difference between the new car price and the used car price for the model at each age. Factors such as the car's automaker and vehicle segment are taken into account in iSeeCars' mathematical model to estimate resale value and depreciation. Various segment averages are also calculated for context.
