old explorer to a new explorer

I went from a sixteen year old Explorer to a 2018 Explorer. This car has brought me and my wife into the twenty-first century. It has all the gadgets; center console with phone, navigation, rear camera for backing up, and much more. It is a comfortable ride.

This vehicle has a lot of luxury to it! I chose it because all the bells and whistles! Lots of legroom and family friendly as well! Excited about having the third row!

Our 3rd Explorer. Hands down the best!

The 2018 Ford Explorer Sport Rocks! We had a 2014 Ford Explorer Limited, loaded with 2nd row bucket seats. We liked it but it had only 290hp. So we traded it in for a 2016 Ford Explorer Sport with 365hp and 350lb-ft. of torque! We loved this one, but the Sync infotainment system sucks.. All is solved now! We got a 2018 Ford Explorer Sport and the new Sync3 system works like a dream! It has both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto! We got all the safety bells and whistles, including double moon roof, bucket seats in second row etc. My son?s over 6ft. tall and he can fit in the third row just fine. This one?s a keeper!

Wonderful customer service

I went to sanders ford a few years ago for my first car which was the Ford Fusion 2016 and the service I received was magnificent. The car had everything I wanted, with the help of Valeri Parker I was able to stay within my budget. Valeri assist my husband and I with everything, she an outstanding person. Forward to 2018 Valeri contacted me in regards to trading in my car and getting something bigger to accommodate my growing family, I took her advice and now I am driving a brand new Ford Explorer, it accommodates all my family needs plus more. Valeri Parker help me to stay within my budget again I can?t thnak her enough. Husband and I was so please with the service we received from Valeri and the sanders ford family that he also purchased a truck. If you are looking to purchase a new vehicle and you are worrying about the price and payments, go and see Valeri Parker at Sanders Ford Lejeune, she will make sure that at the end of the day you are well taking care of. Thank you Valeri Parker and Sanders Ford Family.

Love it!

Love the exterior trim of the Explorer Sport. The interior has many upgrades and trim more similar to the Platinum finishes. The touch screen and Bluetooth features are improved. I just love this car!

ALOT of car for money

Beautiful car, fully loaded without the fully loaded price. Very comfortable to drive, and even better to look at. Going to enjoy this car for many many miles.

like the size and safety features

We had a edge and needed something bigger and the explorer fits those needs perfectly. Like the looks and the interior room. Drives good and plenty of pickup.

Veteran Explorer Owner (3rd Ford Explorer)

I?ve had a 2014 Ford Explorer Limited which I really liked but it only had 290 hp. So I traded it in for a 2016 Explorer Sport with 365 hp. and 350ft. lb of torque! The Sport had all the bells and whistles I wanted and I loved it! Except the Sync infotainment system sucks.. So here rolls in the 2018 Ford Explorer Sport with the new Sync 3 infotainment system with Apple Car Play and Android Auto. The Sync 3 works like a dream! Yay! Instead of bench seats, I got bucket seats for the second row. It?s so much better! Some people think I?m crazy not to get the Platinum but inside its too fancy for me. Get the 2018 Ford Explorer Sport with dual moon roofs, bucket second row seats and and all the extra tech features. Believe me you will be happy with this 3rd row SUV! This one is a keeper!
