Looking at buying a 2019 Explorer, any issues to lookout for?

[PeloAustin]

Hello everyone! Just joined the forums and am happy to be here. I've been looking at getting the Ford Explorer. Specifically a 2019 Ford Explorer Platinum. Only has 31k, but was wondering if there are any widespread issues I should keep an eye out for in regards to the model year? Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum.
It seems there are many people buying pre-owned Explorers lately. Here is the thread I've been recommending; List of Useful Threads - Hints for a Pre-Pick Up Inspection & Used Ex. Check List
I'm not aware of any individual issues specifically for the 2019.

I'd say no. If everything drives and rides good. With nothing broken or not working. You should be good. I got my 19 Limited 2wd 3.5 V6 na in September with 28k miles from Vroom and love it....

The massaging seats in the Platinum would be ...

Hey Dave. That has happened a few times. I actually saw a website the other day that used the word massaging instead of messaging.

I would advise you to get an extended warranty if it doesn't come with one. They are well worth it and odds are it will more than pay for itself if you plan to keep this vehicle for many years and/or rack up a lot of miles on it. The one on our 2015 Edge has paid for $5k in repairs over the last 60k-70k miles.
