      Served our family well!

      by Beth on 2/19/2026 11:46:55 PM

      Trading my car in next week, I am gonna miss my Explorer. It’s been a good family car. Draw backs: the screen is glitchy at times. Some electronics malfunctioned and I won’t lie, they can be costly to fix. Comfortable, spacious. I never had any mechanical problems with the car, but I did take very good care of it at well. I maintained all recommended services and any replacements were all genuine Ford parts. I hope whoever buys our car, loves it as much as we did.

      2025 Ford Explorer Active, RWD

      by Matt on 1/14/2026 12:13:01 PM

      Hello everyone! I had this car for about 3 months and I absolutely love it! I love how reliable it is and how quick it can get when it’s needed. The 3rd row is tight, it is a mid-size SUV after all. If you have a bigger family, I would suggest getting a full size SUV. Unfortunately, there are a few issues that I’ve noticed. 1. Sometimes, the car stalls/jerks a little bit when accelerating. It doesn’t happen much. 2. On the infotainment screen, I can’t download or update any apps. It says pending and it keeps spinning over and over again. (it is a computer after all) I have an appointment soon to get these issues fixed but other than that, it’s been amazing. I am so very grateful for this car. It is my first real car I’ve ever had and I’m so lucky to have a choice for once for something I actually want.

    • Bronco Sport - As the Bronco's compact counterpart, the Bronco Sport still comes with 4x4, a safari-style roof to fit bikes in the back, and so much more.
    • Edge - This four-door, five-passenger SUV is a refined experience. A quiet cabin, a smooth ride, and an integrated Wi-Fi system are some of its many benefits.
    • Escape - As a remake of a popular model, the Escape enjoys an incredible exterior that offers unmatched appeal and style while offering all the amenities in the Edge.
    • Explorer - With plenty of seating for the whole family, the Explorer is a two-row SUV with incredible looks and bold power. It has plenty of space for cargo, with a roof rack and trailer hitch for hauling your favorite gear.
