What these prices mean
Only catalog listings with photos are included. Trim names do not verify equivalent equipment. Prices are asking prices, not completed sales. Alternatives share the body style and class of the source model; the nearest model years are used when the same year has too few listings. Price differences are not a valuation adjustment or guaranteed savings.
Snapshot: September 20, 2026, 05:00 UTC. 1 source listings excluded by statistical price screening; this does not verify that every deposit or payment ad has been removed.

Where these specifications come from
Specifications combine decoded VIN data, including NHTSA vPIC , with inventory records. If decoding does not identify a trim, a recorded inventory trim may be shown. VIN patterns do not confirm every installed option.
Counts describe observed VINs in our database, not factory production totals. Prices are median asking prices from qualifying U.S. listings, not original MSRP. Check the vehicle’s build sheet for exact equipment.

Frequently asked questions
Why do 2027 Ford Explorer prices range from $42,893 to $64,760 in Illinois?
The spread comes down to configuration and mileage: higher-mileage, base-configuration examples sit near the low end, while low-mileage and premium configurations reach the top. Half of all listings fall between $48,488 and $60,674 — see the mileage and trim breakdowns above for where a specific vehicle lands.
Is $54,252 a good price for a 2027 Ford Explorer?
$54,252 is the market average as of September 20, 2026. The $53,540 median is a comparison point, not a deal rating. Compare the same trim and mileage band, and check condition, equipment and vehicle history.
Do Ford Explorer prices in Illinois differ from the rest of the country?
Yes. The average in Illinois is $54,252, which is $1,436 above the national average of $52,816. Local supply, demand and transport costs all play a part.
How many 2027 Ford Explorer are for sale in Illinois right now?
654 in total: 651 new (averaging $54,288) and 3 pre-owned (averaging $46,300). Counts refresh daily from live dealer inventory.
Is this the trade-in value or private-party value of my 2027 Ford Explorer?
These figures describe dealer asking prices, not trade-in offers, private-party sale values or completed sale prices. Use them to compare advertised vehicles. To find out what a buyer or dealer would pay for your car, request an offer that takes its mileage, condition, equipment and history into account.
How we calculate these prices
We track 654 active listings for this vehicle across dealer sites in Illinois, updated every day. Average and median are computed from real asking prices on live listings. We exclude the top and bottom 2% of prices to reduce the influence of extreme values. This does not verify title status or guarantee that every erroneous listing is excluded. Prices reflect dealer asking prices — not final sale prices — and exclude taxes, fees, and incentives. Trim and mileage move the price more than any other factor; see the breakdowns above.
