New pricing details have just been announced for the 2022 Ford Explorer, meaning it now costs more than ever before. Ford unveiled the new Explorer in August and initially announced pricing details in November. However, prices have been updated yet again and some customers will need to spend as much as US$ 1,070 extra over a 2021 model.
Starting at the bottom of the range is the
US$ 33,245 RWD Base model which is now US$ 320 more expensive than in 2021.
Other rear-wheel-drive models to be hit with price hikes including the XLT, now
starting at US$ 36,145 (a US$ 1,070 increase), the Limited priced from US$ 45,495
(US$ 240 more than 2021), Limited Hybrid starting from US$ 50,280 (US$ 175
more), the King Ranch priced at US$ 53,610 or US$ 1,010 more than 2021, and the
Platinum, priced from US$ 53,740, also a US$ 1,010 increase from last year.
Prices have also increased across the
range of 4WD models, Ford Authority notes. For example, prices for the Base and
XLT models have jumped by US$ 320 and US$ 1,070 respectively while the US$ 46,245
Timberline is now US$ 230 more expensive than it was previously. The Limited
and Limited Hybrid models have also increased by US$ 240 and US$ 175, the ST is
US$ 245 more expensive (US$ 49,245), the King Ranch RWD commands US$ 55,610 (a US$
1,010 increase), the Platinum Hybrid is available from US$ 54,115 (a US$ 780
increase), and the range is topped out by the US$ 55,740 Platinum 4WD, US$ 1,010
more than last year.
Various changes were made to the 2022 Explorer line-up for 2022, the most significant being the launch of a rear-wheel-drive ST variant with the brand’s familiar 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 delivering 400 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque.
