Kayser Ford of Sauk City review
Very friendly salesman.
Very friendly salesman. Mike covered everything with warmth and humor. No pressure service that was so quick and easy. I would recommend Sauk City Ford to all my friends and family. I will be a return customer.
2018 Ford Explorer Sport 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.

Evansville Ford review
Our dealer, Ryan Schreiber, was a blessing!
Our dealer, Ryan Schreiber, was a blessing! After searching for the right vehicle, which we finally found at Evansville Ford, Ryan was extremely helpful; our test drive was enjoyable; and he gave us the best deal possible! And since our purchase was a used vehicle, he made sure the detailing inside was top notch! Thank you Ryan!! And we'll definitely share our experience with many! 🥰
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.

Wilde East Towne Honda review
Sent Bouquet of Cookies Thanking Them
Tremendous buying and servicing experience! Sent the dealership a bouquet of cookies as a thank you. Scott Jensen, new and used car sales person, and Luis Roman, service manager, teamed up to handle our trade in and purchase of a used CRV. Wonderful people and great quality car. At every step of the process, they understood our needs, worked with us and did what they said they would do.
2018 Ford Explorer Sport 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.
There are 13 matching cars close to your year range.
