The 2022 Ford Explorer enters the calendar year with another price increase. Ford Authority picked up on the MSRP adjustments, this one being at least the second that we know of. Most bumps are no more than a couple hundred dollars at most, but one of them is nearly four figures. Pricing for the 2022 Explorer lineup and the differences from the last 2021 pricing we posted on in October 2021 is:

• Base $34,540 ($195)

• XLT $37,440 ($945)

• ST-Line $46,040 ($295)

• Limited $46,790 ($110)

• Timberline $47,540 ($105)

• ST $48,540 ($120)

• King Ranch $54,855 (N/C)

• Platinum $53,740 (N/C)

Part of the increase has come from the higher destination charge, which we've included and which went up at some point by $50 to $1,295.

We hadn't posted figures for the Limited Hybrid RWD and Platinum Hybrid RWD in our post covering every aspect of the 2022 Explorer. The former trim starts at $50,280 before destination, which Ford Authority says is a $175 increase. Add the higher destination charge and you're at $51,575 and a $225 rise for the Limited Platinum Hybrid. The latter trim has been priced recently enough to avoid increases save for the destination charge, and it costs $53,410 after destination.
