Josh is the best.
Josh is the best. His level and understanding of customer service amplifies ones experience and adds to the company's bottom line. Josh's care, transparency, patience, and knowledge is the sole reason why I purchased my vehicle from Northside Lexus.
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.

Hands down, the best dealer I've ever worked with.
Hands down, the best dealer I've ever worked with. From new car sales, to used car sales, to service, they will take care of you with respect, courtesy, and honesty. I've been buying cars since 2000 and I'm not going to use another dealer.
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.

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.

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

Easy to work with dealer
We were looking for something larger than my escape for family use. Greg showed us several other vehicles but the white explorer caught my eye. The mileage was reasonable and it had the equipment I wanted. The price was reasonable too so within 45 minutes we had signed a deal.

I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it might help
I’m sharing my experience in the hope that it might help someone facing a similar challenge. I recently discovered that all three major credit bureaus were reporting my credit score as zero. What began as an issue with one bureau quickly escalated, and before I knew it, my entire credit history had seemingly vanished. Even platforms like Credit Karma reflected that I had no credit history at all. Naturally, this raised serious concerns, especially since I was locked out of accessing any form of credit. After researching possible solutions, I came across a discussion about SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST, a professional who operates within specialized cybersecurity and credit repair circles. I decided to reach out via email at [email protected]. To my surprise, the results were nothing short of remarkable. Not only was my credit history restored, but my score was raised to 798, and a strong, positive credit profile was reestablished across all three bureaus. SAFEPORT CREDIT SPECIALIST demonstrated a level of job and discretion that is rare to find, and I’m genuinely grateful for the assistance. If you’re experiencing similar issues or have been locked out of the credit system, I’d recommend getting in touch. He’s the real deal.

Daymon was a very conscientious salesperson.
Daymon was a very conscientious salesperson. He wasn't overbearing or pushy, but WAS concerned that I had all my questions and concerns answered. He was also considerate of our time and tried his best to keep the process moving along quickly.
