Used Ford Explorers at South Bay Ford

View Used Explorers Certified Explorers Only

The Ford Explorer is one of the most-searched used SUVs in Los Angeles for a reason: three rows, seating for up to seven, available 4WD and a range of EcoBoost engines that make it as comfortable on the 405 as it is on a weekend in Big Bear. Buying used lets you step into a late-model Explorer—often a Ford Blue Advantage certified one—for well below new-vehicle pricing.

South Bay Ford keeps a rotating selection of pre-owned Explorers in stock, including CARFAX 1-Owner and Ford Certified units. Every vehicle is listed online with photos, pricing and history, and our pre-owned team can help you compare model years, trims and warranty options before you visit.
