2018 Ford Explorer Platinum 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.

2018 Ford Explorer XLT review

3rd row seat folding mechanism

Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

Corwin Ford review

Colton Biss was our sales rep, and he could not have been

Colton Biss was our sales rep, and he could not have been better! So friendly, professional, and competent. He was very knowledgeable about the car I ended up buying, and thorough as far as going thru the car’s features. He even made sure that I had his personal cell phone if I have follow-up questions about the car. I’d highly recommend Colton and Corwin dealership in Nampa!

2018 Ford Explorer Platinum review

My dream car

This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

2018 Ford Explorer Limited review

Very good car, durable and trustworthy

Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

Bridgewater Chevrolet review

I recently had a fantastic experience purchasing my new

I recently had a fantastic experience purchasing my new Silverado 1500 at Bridgewater Chevy. From the moment I walked in Sal made me feel welcome with no pressure, professional approach. Sal was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire lineup and took the time to explain all the features and options clearly, I really appreciated their honesty and patience as we worked through the numbers and the financing options with Jamal. The entire process was seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend Sal and the team at Bridgewater Chevy to anyone in the market for a new car; they truly went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied.

​"I just picked up a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate from Ed Martin Buick GMC, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Arthur-Zarddy Gwion Jr. was phenomenal to work with. He treated the whole process with the level of professionalism you’d expect when buying a flagship truck. He was transparent, knowledgeable about the new tech, and made sure every detail was perfect. If you’re looking for a high-end vehicle and want a high-end experience to match, go see Arthur!"
