2013 or 2014 Explorer 2.0 ecoboost

[rag3ph]

is it still worth it (selling at 1.2 M)?

Big gas-fueled midsize SUVs have low resale value. It's either you keep them for a long time or sell them at a loss.

It's a blessing of sorts though for used buyers. You can scoop up a very good condition Explorer or CX9 for half (or even less) than its brand new price.

If you can deal with the fuel expense and maintenance cost, an Explorer is one good 7-seater SUV - much more comfortable than a PPV.

Any idea of the gas consumption?

Be happy to get something like 5-6 km/L on city driving routes. FC will be higher compared to gas-fueled CUVs like the Forester, CRV, etc (average of 6-8 km/L depending on the engine). Small difference if you think about it but you get a more comfortable ride.

Similar FC to a 2.5 engine? Thanks

For an suv that big, mas maganda pa ang 3.5 dyan, lalo na yung turbo but of course, expect it to be more thirstier than the smaller motor kasi v6 na ang 3.5.

Engine displacement is not the sole factor for fuel efficiency. You have to consider the bulk of the vehicle. A midsize car (Accord, Mazda6) with a 2.5L 4-banger engine will be more fuel efficient than a heavier crossover/CUV/SUV with a similar displacement engine.

The Explorer 2.0L Ecoboost shares the same turbo engine as the Escape 2.0L Ecoboost AWD. Despite being FWD only, its size is quite big so don't expect it to be similar in FC as the Escape or any CUV with a 2.4L-2.5L NA engine (CRV, CX5).

For an suv that big, mas maganda pa ang 3.5 dyan, lalo na yung turbo but of course, expect it to be more thirstier than the smaller motor kasi v6 na ang 3.5.

Good point! Since you're expected to spend a bit more on gas when driving an Explorer, I guess it's much better to just get the most powerful and quickest model, the Explorer Sport 3.5L Ecoboost V6.

And packed with more features as well since TOTL na siya. Yun nga lang, it's heavier, thirstier and more costly to maintain than the 2.0 ecoboost.

I wouldn't mind the FC, if you ask me. The Explorer Sport is one fully-loaded vehicle - interior comfort, lots of power, and presence.

I wish it had the 3.2 diesel of the everest/ranger though for those who want to be practical.

Nice vehicle and all if you can live dealing with the exhaust fume leak. Not all explorers have it, but if you're one of the unlucky ones, there's no real fix yet. Just a heads up. Maybe bring a CO detector when test driving one.

It wouldn't be as quick or as smooth though. If you spend almost 3M on a midsize SUV, I guess you have the means to spend for its fuel consumption.

Wala USDM din kasi the primary market is North America. As we know diesel ain't popular there...

ah ganun ba, eh di payuhan nyo na lang nagbebenta, jackpot na sya threadstarter na willing bumile ng gas guzzling high maintenance suv sa 1.2M. basta ako na stuck na ako sa Ford Explorer coz sobrang walang resale value toh. natatawa nga ako sa mazda forum dito sa tsikot, lalo na yun mga excited pa sa Mazda CX9, di ko alam kung speculators lang mga yun na naguusap usap lang. pero para sakin isang pang malas ang mag-own nyan CX9 na yan sa walang ka value value na gas guzzling suv.

ako naman kasi bigay lang naman sa kin yun Ford Explorer ko, hand me down so wala naman ako nilabas, pero sana nga nabenta ko man lang ng 700K nun binigay sakin way back 2014. pero wala talaga eh no takers, ngaun 400K na lang, wag na lang noh. ini-imagine ko na lang naka FJ cruiser ako dito lol

It will be for those who don't like the everest but want a big crossover that is considered the same level as the pajero yet has a diesel mill available in its lineup.
