2005 Ford Explorer review
My first new vehicle. I still use it as my spare and my son uses it too for work. It has 368,000 miles and I have only had to replace the alternator and the thermostat (cracked) plus, all the normal militance. It still runs smooth like it was new.

Affinity Auto Sales review
I was skeptical about buying a vehicle without going to the dealership. It was very easy they made it simple and the van was shipped right to my house!!!! I am very happy!!!
2005 Ford Explorer review
I bought my 2005 Explorer Limited V8 in 2007. It had come off of a lease with about 30, 000 miles. Now, it’s 13 years later and it has 221,889 and I still love it. This is my 3rd Explorer. It is still my favorite design of all the model years. I bought it when my son was 2 and my daughter was not yet born. I can afford to get a newer suv, but keep it because I’ve had it so long, it’s taken me so many places safely and comfortably, that it now has sentimental value. Next goal: 250K miles. If you take care of this SUV, it will last.

2005 Ford Explorer review
I have the 2005 Ford Explorer XLT Eddie Bauer v8 model and it’s crazy it’s a super nice car I have a drop on it with 27 inch rims and off road tires and it looks super clean it’s a lowered wide body explorer my dad bought it back in 2011 as a family car but now has handed it down to me at 16yrs old it’s a super clean truck I love it and it’s really fast for an suv especially because of the v8 with 4wd launch times

Willrodt Ford, Inc. review
Driving cross country with my son, who was moving to Iowa from Washington state. His 2002 Toyota with 200K + gave up on I90 on the Missouri bridge and he had to be towed to a shop. Willrodt Ford was the only shop in Chamberlin that would make time to look at it. Got there and could plainly see the cracked engine block. Patrick in sales did a great job working with us in my son's budget and set him up in used car that my son now loves. No high pressure sales, no unpleasantness, got back on the road and finished the trip in a lot nicer car than we started in. Only slight delay was they wanted to to a full lube and oil before we drove off. If they weren't so far from Seattle, I'd be looking there for my next car too.
2005 Ford Explorer review
I love Ford Explorers and the one I got from Aero Motors, as always, held up to my love for the truck. I'm in love with my truck....

Hawk Ford of Carol Stream review
I usually dread dealing with car dealerships but Hawk Ford was different and went out of their way to make it positive, especially the salesman Rich Bergmann.

I’ve owned 3-4 Explorers I like the design and how they drive used lasts me 2-3 years until I decided to get something new. Great work truck and awesome for families.
