Eduardo Del Rio helped me buy my ford explorer and made sure it was in my own liking
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.

Ritchie Sutton.
Ritchie Sutton.. 3 years later and still on top of his game. Grade A salesman, thank you for all your hard work and dedication, to my Honda needs!
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.

They make you very comfortable with the process of value
They make you very comfortable with the process of value of trade in to purchase. I recommend Palmen for any future vehicle purchases. I'm very pleased with them.
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.

I recently purchased a car and had a great experience. The team was incredibly helpful and always available to answer questions, never pushy or pressuring me to buy. Excellent service all around. Highly recommend.
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

It wasn't the best, but not the worst.
It wasn't the best, but not the worst. Mamagement is a little self indulged, they gave me the impression that they were doing me a favor by selling me a vehicle. Even thought I had the check the day after my initial visit, it took a week for deluvery, they didn't appear to care if it was delivered or not. The salesman, Arnulfo, was top notch!

We recently had the pleasure of purchasing a vehicle from
We recently had the pleasure of purchasing a vehicle from McGrath Acura of Libertyville, IL, and we are exceedingly pleased with the experience. From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and respectful, largely thanks to the exceptional service provided by Mr. Cristian Lopez. He displayed remarkable professionalism and courtesy, taking the time to truly understand our needs without any pressure. Mr. Lopez answered all of our inquiries in a thorough and transparent manner, which made the entire process feel effortless and straightforward. We would also like to extend our gratitude to Mr. Trent and Mr. Victor, who effectively presented us with various aftermarket options and facilitated the necessary paperwork with efficiency. Overall, the transaction was seamless and stress-free. The vehicle we purchased was precisely as described and very reasonably priced, further affirming our satisfaction. We wholeheartedly recommend McGrath Acura in Libertyville to anyone seeking a new vehicle. Their commitment to outstanding customer service truly sets them apart.
