The Highlights of the Ford Explorer

Ford has been crafting vehicles for over a century, which is why opting for a Ford is always a safe bet. While the Ford Explorer has not been around for quite that long, it can boast of well over three decades on the roads. That's right: It has been successfully keeping families safe and getting them to their destinations in style for more than thirty years.

The Explorer has a potent, reliable engine that'll get you roaring down I-96 without a sense of drag; in fact, you'll soon find that you're the one setting the pace. You can also forget about getting caught on an entrance ramp; with this engine, you'll glide right onto the freeway without your vehicle breaking a sweat.

The comfortable and spacious three rows of seating in the Explorer mean your passengers won't have any complaints, even during a long trek across Michigan. When you factor in the stellar infotainment suite and great sound system, you can practically guarantee that each trip will be a joy, with the journey just as rewarding as the destination itself.

Behind the rear row, there is plenty of guaranteed room for cargo. However, if you're traveling alone or with just one or two passengers, you can decline the third row, portions of the back rows, or both rear rows entirely to give yourself more room for luggage. There are also bin containers so you can keep valuables secure and out of sight.

Befitting a family-friendly SUV, the Ford Explorer is equipped with numerous intelligent safety features. These features can detect danger and even take action on your behalf. The extra second of braking time it can give you can mean the difference between a near miss and a collision. Just ask anyone who has been in an accident: they'd love to have had access to what the Explorer's safety features offer.

If you're on the market for a three-row midsize SUV, then you want to visit us and take this Ford for a test drive. You'll be won over within minutes.

Our Selection of Used Ford Explorers

The main difference for you will be that you got it on a discount.

If you're buying on a budget, you'll also appreciate that we are more than happy to value a trade-in, too. You can sell us your current ride and then use the down payment to purchase your Ford Explorer, potentially allowing you to buy a more recent model or a higher trim.
