Wholesale Motors review
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the team at
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with the team at Wholesale Motors.. Had the pleasure of meeting and talking with the owner (which, I think is rare because he is retired).. We as a business needed a van quickly and they accommodated us .. We highly recommend them for all your automobile needs
2018 Ford Explorer Limited 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.

Great car buying experience thanks to our salesman, Jason Chambers, and Durham's Auto Mart for providing quality cars at reasonable prices.
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.
There are 20 matching cars close to your year range.
