What will a 2021 Ford Explorer be worth next year?

If you drive about 17,000 km, expect roughly $22,400–$23,400 in a private sale by October 2027, about $3,900 less than today. This is a projection, not an offer.

Trade-in, private sale or dealer price: what's the difference?

The trade-in value is what a dealer would likely pay you for the car today. The private-sale range is what to list it at: the low end sells in about 2 weeks, the high end in about 6. The dealer price is what dealers ask when they resell the same car, which includes their reconditioning, warranty and margin.

How does Offro calculate these values?

Offro's price models learn from hundreds of thousands of real vehicle sales and dealer listings across Canada, and we retrain them every week. Each value on this page is the model's estimate for the exact trim, mileage, condition and province shown.
