I found an old thread on this, but curious about anything further in the past few years. I'm in a bind looking for a new to me vehicle and found our local county surplus auctions. There are a few 2014 / 2015 Explorers on there and wonder what I might be getting into if I buy one. Thanks.
Looking for info on overall reliability, major problems / concerns, or good experiences, etc. thanks.

two big things to look out for:
first, the water pump. change it proactively around 110-140k miles
second, the PTU, make sure you change the oil regularly... 15k or so intervals.
 






don't be fooled by the miles in the odometer, check the idle hours as well, every idle hour is equal to 33 driven miles, as example if the vehicle have 140k miles driven and 6000k idle hours it will be a total of 338k miles, make sure all safety recalls where done, otherwise do it asap.
