Awesome!
Awesome! Thank you Aaron and William you always exceed my expectations, I know that I am always in good care when you two take my car. Thank you ?

I often drive to the Michigan upper pennisula in the winter. This SUV has never disappointed me. One time I was driving up to Sault Ste Marie early in the morning. The road was slippery with blowing snow. The outside air temp was MINUS 41. i was alone with hardly ever seeing another vehicle. I kept thinking "trust this vehicle" because my life literally depended on it. I had no problems. And everything was on high - the defroster, rear defrost, heated steering wheel, heated seat, radio and keeping my phone charger plugged in. And in case you wonder why I would venture out in these conditions - I was called for jury duty and made it on time !! It has also gotten me out of deep snow.

Explorer GREAT design!
The ford explorer is an outstanding suv. The new design in 2020 is stylish and the rear wheel drive/4 wheel drive option is state of the art. The ecoboost engines are economical and extremely powerful. Ford dealers are everywhere! Ford parts are common and easy to obtain! I looked at the competitors. Front wheel drive is not suitable for trucks in my opinion. The handling of a rear wheel drive vehicle is outstanding. I actually have a 2022 platinum with the 3.0 v6 and this 2021 base with the 2.3 4 cylinder. Happy with each!!!

love the Ride
First time Explorer owner, had an Expedition that I loved but it was too high for my wife, so it went to our son. The Explorer Limited is lower, but still higher than a crossover or sedan which helps my visability. Love the electronics but concerned that they will have problems later on so I purchased a dealer extended warranty (bumper to bumper) that is 10 years 125,000 additional miles for piece of mind. Car drives like a dream, is VERY comfortable, has more than enough power even with the 4cyl (used to V8's). Gas mileage even with 4WD is great (23 city and almost 29 highway) not climbing hills. We will see how it does when we go north.

I had a great experience buying my 2025 Ford Maverick
I had a great experience buying my 2025 Ford Maverick XLT truck from Kyle at Prosper Ford. He was knowledgeable, upfront, and never pushy, which made the whole process easy and stress-free. Kyle took the time to answer all my questions, walked me through my options, and made sure I drove off in the right truck for my needs. The entire team was professional and efficient from start to finish. If you’re looking for an honest, smooth truck-buying experience, I highly recommend Prosper Ford. Thank you again Ruben.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Trey as my service advisor, and I cannot express enough how exceptional he was throughout the entire process. From the moment I arrived, Trey greeted me with a warm and friendly demeanor that immediately made me feel valued as a customer. Trey took the time to listen to my concerns and clearly communicated the service options available to me. His extensive knowledge and genuine passion for his work were evident, which gave me great confidence in his recommendations. He kept me informed every step of the way, providing updates on the progress and ensuring that all my questions were answered promptly. What truly sets Trey apart is his unwavering commitment to customer service. He goes above and beyond to ensure that every customer feels appreciated and understood. It's rare to find someone who not only gets the job done efficiently but also does so with such a positive attitude. Thanks to Trey, my experience was not just seamless but truly enjoyable. He exemplifies what great customer service should be, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a service advisor who genuinely cares about their customers. Thank you, Trey, for your outstanding service!

I took my Bronco in for service today as a walk-in and had an excellent experience. Naomi Romano went above and beyond to ensure my repair was completed the same day, kept me well-informed throughout the process, and recommended a service to prevent my battery from having the same problem again. She also arranged a complimentary ride home and coordinated valet service to return my vehicle after the repair. Everything was seamless, and the repair was covered under warranty. I highly recommend Naomi and AutoNation Frisco for car service needs.
