The Explorer we purchased was like buying a brand new 2024 vehicle, it was clean and the drive is very solid.

Best 3rd Row SUV

I’ve test drove several cars I had a GMC Acadia. I needed a new car for probably 2 years or more and took my time and put it off to make sure I got exactly what I wanted and needed. I finally decided on the Explorer XLT. And I haven’t been disappointed at all, in fact I’m more amazing at how fabulous it is everyday!!!

Ford Explorer ST: the nicest suv I've ever owned!

Ford Explorer ST is the nicest suv I have ever owned. All the bells and whistles along with a V6 twin turbo. Rides great, steers great, great traction and power. If I use eco mode, I can get 20 mpg around town!

This car is by far the fanciest thing I’ve driven! The room in this is phenomenal! The panoramic sunroof is something I’ve always wanted and it’s my favorite! There are so many bells and whistles that I didn’t even know I wanted! Great job creating this car!
