Explorer Comparisons

Currently driving a 2016 Explorer Limited, I am considering a few future models maybe 2024. They appear to have undergone a little redesign. My dogs accompany me on trips, they are in crates in the back. I have to check to make sure that neither height nor width have shrunk.

I appreciate the ease of fitting my dog crates into the redesigned cargo spaces. However, I still recommend checking the dimensions carefully to avoid any surprises.

The overall dimensions of the 2024 Explorer are very similar to the 2016 model, so you should have plenty of room for your dogs’ crates in the back. But double-check the cargo area dimensions to ensure there’s enough space

You might want to check into issues with 10-speed transmissions and defective rear axle seals, especially since replacement parts may not be available. I traded my 2021 Ranger for these reasons.
