Ken Wilson Ford review

Experience with the used car staff at Ken Wilson was very

Experience with the used car staff at Ken Wilson was very honest, professional and helpful. They followed through with everything as promised and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with every concern with the used vehicle. So pleased we traded my wife's vehicle the next day.

2018 Ford Explorer XLT review

Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer

This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.
