Regional supply
Where the Ford Explorer turbocharger is listed
We found priced Ford Explorer turbocharger listings at 429 salvage yards across 45 states. Florida supplies the most, with 499 listings (18% of the total) from 28 yards. Location matters: yards in Florida ask a median $200, while California yards ask $321, 61% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Ford Explorer turbocharger cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford Explorer turbocharger are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 50% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $300.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.7L, lists at a $331 median, while 3.0L commands $675, a 104% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $200, while 2025 tops the table at $426. Parts from 2010–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford Explorer sits 36% below the Mercedes S Class ($450), 40% below the Mercedes E Class ($487), and 59% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($700) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used turbocharger: what to check
- Check shaft play. Any detectable radial movement means the bearing is worn.
- Ask for donor mileage and oil-change history if available; oil starvation kills turbos.
- Inspect the compressor wheel for chipped blades from debris ingestion.
- Budget for new oil feed and return lines. Reusing clogged lines destroys replacement turbos.
