Ford Explorer Lease Deals
The Explorer is Ford's most popular lease vehicle in the midsize 3-row segment. At ~$399/month, the XLT gives you 3-row seating, 5,600 lb towing capacity (best in class), and Ford's Co-Pilot360 safety suite as standard. The Explorer ST Sport adds a 3.0L twin-turbo making 400 hp and a sport suspension — at ~$550/month it's a legitimate performance SUV that costs less to lease than a standard BMW X5.
Key Explorer lease consideration: the Platinum trim includes massaging seats, panoramic roof, and Lincoln-adjacent interior finishes at a price point that undercuts comparable German alternatives by $100–$200/month. If you're comparing the Explorer against a VW Atlas or Honda Pilot, the ST Sport's powertrain and the Platinum's interior are differentiated enough to justify the payment difference.

What's a good monthly payment for a Ford Explorer lease?
Under $450/month is competitive for a base Explorer XLT; the Explorer ST Sport or Platinum trim can run $550–$650. The Explorer holds moderate residuals around 52–55%, and Ford Motor Credit adjusts money factors monthly based on SAAR data. The best Explorer deals tend to emerge at model-year changeover when dealers need to clear outgoing inventory.
Is the Ford Maverick worth leasing?
The Maverick is one of the more unusual lease propositions: MSRP is low (~$23,000 for the XL Hybrid), but dealer markups have historically kept actual transaction prices elevated. When Ford pushes Maverick lease support — which it does periodically — the hybrid payload and 42 MPG city make it one of the most practical leases under $350/month. The Maverick XLT Hybrid is the sweet spot.
Ford Explorer vs Honda Pilot lease — which is better?
The Honda Pilot has better lease residuals and typically lower money factors through Honda Financial. The Explorer has more powertrain options (including a 3.0T 400hp ST) and a generally more aggressive exterior. On pure lease economics in the $400–$500 range, the Pilot usually wins. If you prioritize towing, the Explorer's 5,600 lb capacity exceeds the Pilot's 3,500 lb limit — that changes the calculus for buyers who need it.
Do Ford leases have mileage penalties?
Yes — Ford Motor Credit charges $0.20 per mile over your contracted limit on most leases. Standard terms are 10,500 or 12,000 miles/year. If you drive 15,000+ miles annually, negotiate a 15k/year lease at signing; it's almost always cheaper than paying overages at return. Ford does not buy additional miles after the lease is signed.
Can you get a Ford lease with nothing due at signing?
Ford periodically runs 'first payment only' or '$0 due at signing' promotions, typically on slower-selling models or at end of quarters. These appear most often on the EcoSport, Escape, and occasionally Bronco Sport. The trade-off is usually a slightly higher money factor — run the numbers both ways before choosing the lower due-at-signing option.
